Journey of a Pilates Teacher

It's been almost 7 years since I embarked on this journey of teaching pilates... I reckon I would prefer to be identified as a movement teacher who exemplifies mobility and strength through controlled yet power movements... I've been really blessed to meet great teachers over the course of my journey who inspire me to be better than who I was (each time).


My teachers (from left, clockwise): Pilates Elder Mary Bowen who was briefly in Singapore to teach a couple of workshops, showing the long-lasting integrated strength at the age of 85 years; Madeline Black who continues to inspire me with immense passion and conviction to her work; Michael Watson (Anatomy Trains) who always amazes me how connected and amazing our bodies are; Emily Splichal who taught me so much about the foot and the importance of our foundation from the ground up; and Portia Page and Joy Karley whom I have learnt so much from workshops.


    
Thank you Zohreh for bringing Mary Bowen to Singapore!

So much fun, so much knowledge gained from a week with dearest Madeline Black.

The best part of my job? Learning never ends, because there's so much more to learn. 
Science evolve, the body changes, our environment changes...
