Hey, everyone!
I always know when May is here because we are celebrating everyone in my family’s birthday but mine! I am literally putting the finishing touches on Bobbi (our 3-year-old daughter) and Nash’s (our 1-year-old son) combined Princess/Prince themed birthday party as I write this PILATESBODY On-Demand App update!
I can’t believe I survived this last year. Life with 2 littles and being an entrepreneur has rocked me to my core—But, I freaking survived! And honestly, this party is probably more for me than it is for them. 😛 This last year has also opened up my eyes to an even deeper WHY of why I do, teach, and preach Pilates.
I want you to Pause. Stop. Take a deep inhale. Now exhale, while you count to 7. Notice in that moment how things briefly stood still, and how much clarity that moment just brought you. That is what Pilates and breathwork are bringing to my life, that is filled with so much chaos, right now. The mental clarity and the temporary peace within myself while I do Pilates is pure bliss. The ability to be present with my family and to give myself time for self-care so I can give 100% of myself back to them as a better parent and mom is a big part of the great reward. I am able to be less reactive, more patient, and more loving with my kids. I truly don’t think I would be in the place I am now with my kids if it weren’t for Pilates. And I truly, truly mean that.
I never knew if I wanted kids until my husband and I went to therapy together and had many long talks at our kitchen table about where our future was headed, and if it was together or not. We obviously made the choice to build a life together, but I had my doubts. To be honest, I was scared AF. I have very little patience and I am the baby of the family… by a long shot! Pilates gives me the time and opportunity to still put myself first so in return I can put others first. It has allowed me to see the clarity that movement is more than just movement for the physical side, and has allowed me to really tap into the mind-body connection piece this past year. I truly encourage you to take a leap. Instead of doing your fitness and movement for just that sweat factor, or getting the best pump, or accomplishing the hardest high-intensity workout you can, just be gentler with your body. Get to know your body a little better by teaching your body movement for more than just movement.
When you move well, you feel well inside and out. The mind is more resilient and all of this translates into your daily life and why Pilates is a lifestyle. Mother’s Day is right around the corner. If you have not yet dabbled into Pilates personally, take advantage of our FREE 1-month trial—Yes that is 1 whole month to try out the App and our complimentary workout calendar that comes with your membership! Trust me, you will not regret it. And, if you are currently a subscriber, share this gift with a friend. Buddy up and rock your Pilates workouts together!
