Glancer - October 2009

Several years ago I found myself in a struggle for my health.  I was a young Mom with an infant, a two year old, and two in grade school. I brushed off how I was feeling as 'normal' for where I was in life - a sleep deprived mother of four!
Four years and four abnormal biopsies later, I found a surgeon who read between the lines and realized my quality of life was not acceptable.  After surgery, I felt what I describe as "coming up from under water."  I felt energy returning, bringing me back to the person whom had been lost inside my symptoms.  My hypothyroidism had taken a physical toll on my formerly fit body.  There was some serious work to do!

That's when I discovered the brilliant mind body discipline of pilates.  I became so engaged in my hour long sessions, all other life distractions were gone. Soon pilates became a full on passion, which I HAD to share with others. 
Pilates engaged the missing link - MY BRAIN!  Every single muscle fiber is connected neurally.  We are designed to move in a sequence of muscle activations (biomechanics.)  When the sequence is interrupted because of habitual movement acquired through sport or repetitive exercise, the body will compensate which eventually results in injury.  The body needs authentic core strength and muscle balance for longevity which is the reprogramming process of Pilates.

Pilates gave me back my STRENGTH, BALANCE and CONFIDENCE to accomplish things I never imagined I could do!  So many of us believe our bodies are incapable of change. The biggest hurdle to changing your body is changing your mind. Our brains are magnificently wired for change. Inner Focus Pilates Studio is dedicated to helping you become a whole new you from the inside out!
