Session 11

When I came home from Pilates this evening I was met by my very energetic daughter, Natalie who wanted to tell me all about her day. She was so excited and talking very fast, I could barely understand what she was telling me. Then suddenly she got very quiet and serious and looked right at me and said, “Mom how was Pilates?” It was the sweetest thing ever. I answered, “Natalie it was great. Thank you for asking.” I share this story because Natalie is the biggest reason I wanted to start practicing Pilates. Before I was practicing Pilates I was constantly feeling run down and out of energy. As mentioned previously I have already noticed an increase in my energy levels. Also, I want to be a good example for her to lead a healthy lifestyle. She has learned that Pilates is now a part of my Saturday morning routine. The last few Saturdays she has even asked if she can come to Pilates with me. She is a little young now, but I would love it if in 10 years we spend our Saturday morning practicing Pilates together.
