Movement

Both of my parents ran the Houston Marathon, so I grew up running and wanting to run the Houston Marathon. It was in training for the Houston Marathon that I injured my knee in 2010. After finishing Physical Therapy I was advised by friends and family to try Pilates. I avoided it like the plague because I didn’t have a “Pilates Body” (read, tight hamstrings, locked hips and pitiful mobility). Little did I know just how important Pilates should have been to my running. I finally began taking Pilates in 2011at a small Eve Gentry Lineage studio in Madison Wisconsin and it opened up my whole world. I began to understand and internalize so much of what I learned in my Bachelor’s degree through practice. Changes I didn’t think possible in my body happened right in front of my eyes. I was sold. I actually registered for the Teacher Training run through my studio in Madison before deciding to move home to Texas. I searched Pilates Training’s here in Houston, and that’s how I found my first training program.

Why Pilates

I am a scientist at heart. I spent several years working in a lab setting and there is no better experience for me than learning. Being able to work alignment and see how it affects the sensations in my body and how it looks visually is infinitely interesting to me. I love the control it gives me over my body and the mechanical understanding of my body that it affords me.  I have a sense of confidence and power from my body that I had not know was possible before beginning my practice. There is just nothing else like it.

Life’s work, how you want to be remembered . . .

Oh wow.  As someone who cared about what they did and the people they encountered along the way.
