Just last week I was chatting with a client during one of her introductory private sessions and we were talking about adding some more classes into her regular routine. She mentioned that she was enjoying her beginner classes she had started doing and she thought she was ready to add in another time or two per week.
She also mentioned how relieved she was to see that the people that were headed to a different class on our schedule that day were….well…normal. I could tell that seeing a variety of ages and body shapes heading into class helped her realize that she too could do a class and not feel out of place!
So many times in life I think the thing that stops us from doing something that might make a huge difference in our life and in how our body feels on a regular basis is our fear, our fear of worrying about what other people might think of us and our fear of not fitting in. I know that my passion and “my why” in life have a lot to do with helping people realize how movement can be an amazing health tool in their life to live their best life.
I’ve also come to realize that the hardest part about sharing my passion with others is that for me to get to have the chance to share it with people I first have to convince them that their fears of not fitting in, not being strong enough, not being flexible enough, etc to start a movement practice are not really true!! If you are one of those people who really wants to add some movement time into your life but you are just plain scared that you might not fit in or you might not be able to do it..you are not alone! Most of our clients feel that way when they get started!
But I have to tell you…it doesn’t take them very long to figure out that Centered Pilates is a place where everyone fits in.
Let me help you out with rethinking some of those fears!
