In honor of Filipino American History Month, I’m celebrating my heritage by exploring Hilot, a traditional Filipino healing art. 🇵🇭
At Pilates Encore, wellness goes beyond the Reformer. I’m passionate about discovering ancient healing traditions that deepen our mind-body connection and inspire new ways to care for ourselves.
Full transparency: I can usually handle pain, but I whimpered through most of this session. The next day, my low back and hips felt almost dislocated. Then I realized it wasn’t injury, it was range of motion I hadn’t accessed in years, likely from repetitive movement or ignoring pain, despite teaching movement for a living.
What healing traditions did you grow up with that deserve more recognition?
