I read an inspiring article recently in one of my professional journals. It was about a woman who lost 85 pounds as a result of a regular pilates practice and eating a healthy diet.
But the weight wasn’t the only thing that she changed.
When she first began her practice, Alison Ryan was filled with self doubt. She needed a confidence booster. She needed an instructor who helped her feel comfortable about her body and about herself. She needed the magic of coaching and accountability in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
You can read Alison’s story on her blog. It’s taken her five years to slowly loose the weight. So it’s a permanent change for her, not a quick weight loss program. Even more important than loosing the weight are the positive changes in Alison’s wellbeing, in her outlook on life, and in in her self-confidence.
I hope you find some inspiration from Alison today.
See you at the studio,
Mary Jo
