You Are The One

2024

You are the one...

The one who takes me to my limits,

Who makes me discover

every day a little more,

You take me

through new paths towards desire.

You make me fall into precipices of madness,

and then you lift me up to heaven,

when I'm lying on your chest.

You are the one

who takes away my shyness,

my prejudices,

who awakens my demons,

the forbidden desire of my heart,

and you make me give myself to you.

Without inhibition,

Conscienceless,

Without shame...

That even I surprise myself.

You are the one...

Just one caress from you is enough,

to wake up a storm,

a tidal wave in my body,

Just a kiss... and my screams 

make the windows of my apartment shake.

You are the one...

my seducer,

my lover,

my most burning desire between my legs.

You are the one.

and I'm your student,

Your submissive,

Your slave,

I am the clay between your hands,

I am the daisy that you remove the leaves,

I am the coffee

what tests until the last drop.

I am your moon,

also your night.

I am like red wine

that makes your blood burn.

Your wish.

You are the one,

and the sanest man I've ever known.

You know your place in my life,

But you also know

that you have become,

in an eternal caress on my body.

There are men who come to heal…

And then, they make their early diagnosis. 

They look at you and detect you. 

They land in your little world, But they don't conquer you. 

They don't plunder you. They don't deceive you.
They bring love in little bottles. 

And they do what they have to do for you. 

For your soul. For your pain. 

For the desire you had to find something different in life. 

There are men who know. 

Even without knowing. Even without suspecting. 

Even without being completely aware of the importance they have. 

They know with another wisdom. 

They smile with other smiles.
They say with other words. 

They do magic. 

There are men like that. I swear. 

I have seen them. I know them. 

I watch them act. 

From afar or up close. 

I admire them. 

Sometimes, I let myself be moved by them. 

Because they have art in their hands, their mouth, their soul. 

They open you up. And you don't mistrust them for a second. 

Because they are friends. But they are not common friends. 

They are rare friends. 

They are friends from other places. They are star companions.
They arrive. They do. They say. They look. They come. 

They are not always going to like you. 

They are not always going to love you the way you want to be loved. 

You are not always going to love them the way they want you to love them. 

It's something else. 

They are going to arrive to fulfill destiny.
They are going to arrive to improve your life for a while. 

To return a favor from some time ago. 

To sign a pact. Because they are something else. Deeper. Stranger. 

More capable of staying inside you. 

Because these men will live in those places where you don't allow anyone to enter.
Because you will stay inside them 

like a girl who stays looking at the sea on the beach at night. 

There are men who arrive to repair the women they repair. 

Because they were born for that. To cure those who cure.
To heal those who heal. 

Because we are companions. Loved. Lovers. Loving. 

And when two such beautiful companions collide, come together, intertwine, love each other in their own way, the universe celebrates.
The universe is grateful and so am I, because you are that one...

Y entonces, hacen su diagnóstico precoz. Te miran y te detectan. Desembarcan en tu pequeño mundo como Colón en América. Pero no te conquistan. Ni te saquean. Ni te engañan.
Ellos sólo traen amor en frasquitos. Y hacen lo que tienen que hacer por ti. Por tu Alma. Por tu dolor. Por las ganas que tenías de encontrarte algo distinto en la vida. Hay hombres que saben. Aún sin saber. Aún sin sospechar. Aún sin ser completamente conscientes de la importancia que tienen. Saben con otra sabiduría. Sonríen con otras sonrisas.
Dicen con otras palabras. Hacen magia. Hay hombres así. Te lo juro. Los he visto. Los conozco. Los miro actuar. De lejos o de cerca. Los admiro. A veces, me dejo emocionar con ellos. Porque ellos tienen arte en las manos. Ellos te abren por el medio. Y tu no desconfías ni un segundo. Porque ellos son amigos. Pero no son amigos comunes. Son amigos raros. Son amigos de otros lados. Son compañeros de estrella.
Llegan. Hacen. Dicen. Miran. Ven. No siempre vas a gustarles. No siempre te van a amar como quieres que te amen. No siempre vas a amarlos como quieren que los ames. Es otra cosa. Otra cosa. Van a llegar para cumplir con el destino.
Van a llegar para mejorarte la vida un rato. Para devolverte un favor de algún tiempo. Para firmar un pacto. Porque ellos son otra cosa. Más profunda. Más extraña. Más capaz de quedarse dentro tuyo. Porque estos hombres vivirán en esos lugares donde tu no permites entrar a nadie. Porque tú te quedarás dentro de ellos como una chica que se queda mirando el mar en la playa de noche. Hay hombres que llegan para reparar a las mujeres que reparan. Porque nacieron para eso. Para curar a las que curan.

Para sanar a las que sanan. Porque somos compañeros. Amados. Amantes. Amorosos. Y cuando dos compañeros así de bonitos se chocan, se juntan, se entrelazan, se aman a su manera, el universo festeja.

El universo agradece y yo también. Porque tu eres aquel...

         
 

Caress your soul...

I don't know how to explain it, 

but without thinking about it, one day, 

you were so inside to me

that it was impossible not to feel you.

You came to my heart like you've always belonged there.

You broke down my walls and set fire to my sleeping soul.

And I suddenly realized that 

my heart had started beating again.

So intense, so unique... as you know me... as I am.

I wanted to dedicate a thousand songs, 

my dances, my prose and my poetry,

the hidden moon and all those stars,

that distant storm in the dead of night,

 all the sunrises with that unexpected rain

and the cadence of the ocean.

I started to feel like filling you up

    with hugs and thousands of kisses

at night, live insomnia by your side,

to finally travel together until vanishing.

    I wanted the sea breeze to touch me

and feeling that sweet cold, 

to hugging you, like the first time...

and that you tell me more about your dreams and desires,

to accompany you in each of them,

may life be longer to make us completely happy,

how we deserve it so much.

I want to caress your soul,

 the skin can be touched by anyone...

Maybe this time it was fate that put us in front,

but from now on, even if they gave me 

a thousand paths to choose from,

I would always choose the one that crossed paths with yours.

I don't know if you are the one, 

but when I look at you, my chest overflows emotions 

and all my doubts are answered.

I don't pretend to swear anything that I cannot fulfill,

I will not be the one who makes you suffer,

I only seek that every night you find in me

enough reasons to stay and keep trying.

I propose to stay together

with the intention of making the routine disappear.

Create a beautiful world, without hindering us...

Make us feel that we lack nothing,

and that good intentions abound,

that we are building a shelter little by little,

with sweet words, songs, cuddles and sunsets.

Taking care of ourselves as much as we can, 

with that unique freedom to know 

that we count on each other and we are free, 

Free to be you with yourself and me with myself...

I want to be able to be free to love again...

without fear, without measures

fly towards you at night, to feel your kisses, 

see the deepens in to your eyes... 

always and to the end...

The Alpha Woman.

An alpha Woman is a very strong woman. She has a select group of friends, is confident in herself, knows what she wants and goes after it without hesitation. She is fierce and absolutely delicate. 

Don't try to change her. She was not made to sink and bend. They made her grow, get up, fly and dance with the sea. They made her shine so brightly that she blinds. So don't even try to dim the light on her, you have the opportunity to enjoy your life with her.

A unique opportunity... 

You know she doesn't need you. But She loves You. She chose you, after much searching among many...

That's why loves her back, her love is perfect and unconditional.

She will never say that she needs you, so shows up when she is quiet at night and you know something is bothering her. She is not made of steel despite what she thinks she is. She will break sometimes. She is going to cry. She is going to crash. She is a very delicate human being.

Don't you dare to give up. Don't turn your back on her. Yes, she doesn't need you but she wants you to be there. She will want you to show her that you care a lot. She will want you to show her that you really live up to your promises.

Don't act like she is your possession or prize. Treat her like a princess, even if she doesn't believe it.

You have to know that she is a deserving one. She is strong, powerful. She is not with you for fun. She is with you for true love. She is with you because she sees something good in you. She is with you because she sees a future by your side. Because you are someone special. And she deserves someone special.

She will not allow games or foolishness. She knows what she's worth. She knows your heart and soul and she knows that she deserves someone who can give her the world.

Be honest with her. Tell her how you feel. Don't hit around the bush. Don't hide from your feelings and what your heart is telling you. Be a good man. Be a decent man and be a better man for her and for your future.

If you feel like your feelings are fading, don't stay. If you feel your heart slowly drift away from her, just go. Don't wait. Don't lie to her. Don't hold her. She is strong enough to handle it. She is strong enough to handle your memories.

What if you break her heart? She will never look at you with the same light. She will never smile at you the same way again. But she will move on. She will persevere. She will survive, she will grow and she will flourish.

Trust me, she will do more than just survive. She will do much more. She doesn't need you, she chose you because you are worth the risk of opening her heart and soul.

Are you ready to be the partner of an Alpha Woman??? 

Because She is ready to give you the entire universe. 

mi melancolia.

Tu eres esa melancolía, 

esa que me hace soñar 

cuando comienza el día, 

en ese amanecer silente 

que toca mi alma, 

con su brillo incandescente, 

y en cada noche, 

cuando cierro los ojos, 

cuando mi alma se detiene,

como aquel instante, 

recordado tu aroma... 

Tu eres esa melancolía 

que despierta aquella sensación de querer tocarte

y no poder, si quiera, verte... 

Tu eres esa melancolia 

que inunda mi alma y llueve en mis ojos, 

cuando toda esa magia desborda, 

sin poder serenarla.

Tu eres esa melancolía 

que desnuda mi ser 

cada vez que recuerdo tus besos 

aquel abrazo eterno, 

el latir de tu corazón 

y el calor de tu piel... 

el sabor de tu dulzura, 

la magia de tu mirada, 

el sonido de tu voz... 

Tu Eres Mi Melancolía...

te extraño.

Adios 46. Sean Bienvenidos 47. Happy Birthday to Me

💖

Cada día que pasa es uno menos en nuestro reloj de arena... cada día que pasa es un día que hemos recorrido y bordado en nuestra alma.

Nuestras vidas se colorean cada con hermosas experiencias y también con esas que no lo son tanto... pero es la que nos hace ser quienes somos... 

Cada momento compartido, cada sonrisa, cada silencio, cada llegada, cada partida, cada lagrima... cada explosion del corazón!

Aquellos besos eternos o aquellos que tan solo fueron un instante mágico que quedarán para siempre dibujados en el alma y escritos en el corazón...  

Dar sin pedir nada y ser feliz cuando te rodean y regalan tanto amor inesperado... 

Mi ciclo 46 acaba hoy y mañana comienza una nueva oportunidad... 365 días para crear mas vida, mas amor, mas felicidad, mas salud, mas experiencias, para seguir pintando en mi ser, con todo el amor del mundo... y coloreando, quizás el mundo de algún otro...

En este multiverso mágico que he ido forjando durante toda esta vida, en cada año recorrido, en cada camino andado, en cada vuelo del alma...

He tenido experiencias sublimes y otras muy intensas, con las que he aprendido a ser quien soy... 

Y estoy feliz!!! Soy feliz!!! SOY MUY FELIZ!!!

La vida me regala cada día un nuevo amanecer y eso no tiene precio... Feliz cumpleaños para mi con todo el amor del Universo... 

He aprendido a mirarme con dulzura, en el espejo, a querer cada arruga, cada cana, cada marca, cada cicatriz, sobre todo aquellas del alma... he aprendido a amarme y eso es maravilloso... 

Son 46 años increíblemente bellos e intensos... 

Y que este renacer me brinde mas maravillas, nuevas aventuras, nuevas emociones, nuevas experiencias, mas sabiduría, mas oportunidades de ser mejor persona, y que sea mucho mejor!!! 

Gracias mundo, tierra, planeta, pacha mama, universo infinito...

Gracias a todos quienes están cerca y aquellos que estan lejos y quienes siempre están a mi lado... Salud!!!!

                                                                            Los Amo!!!

Each day that passes is one less in our hourglass ... each day that passes is a day that we have traveled and embroidered in our soul.

Our lives are colored each with beautiful experiences and also with those that are not so beautiful ... but it is what makes us who we are ...

Every shared moment, every smile, every silence, every arrival, every departure, every tear ... every explosion of the heart!

Those eternal kisses or those that were only a magical moment that will be forever drawn on the soul and written on the heart. Give without asking for anything and be happy when they surround you and give away so much unexpected love ...

My 46th cycle ends today and tomorrow a new opportunity begins. 365 days to create more life, more love, more happiness, more health, more experiences, to continue painting in my being, with all the love in the world ... and coloring, perhaps someone else's world ...

In this magical multiverse that I have been forging throughout this life, in each year traveled, in each path traveled, in each flight of the soul ...

I have had sublime experiences and other very intense ones, with which I have learned to be who I am ...

And I'm happy!!! I'm happy!!! I AM ABSOLUTELY HAPPY!!!

Life gives me a new dawn every day and that is priceless ... Happy birthday to me with all the love in the Universe ...

I have learned to look at myself gently, in the mirror, to love every wrinkle, every gray hair, every mark, every scar, especially those of the soul ... I have learned to love myself and that is wonderful ...

They are 46 incredibly beautiful and intense years ...

And may this rebirth give me more wonders, new adventures, new emotions, new experiences, more wisdom, more opportunities to be a better person, and may it be much better !!!

Thank you world, earth, planet, pacha mama, infinite universe ...

Thanks to all those who are close and those who are far and who are always by my side ... Cheers!

                                                                        Love you all!!!

"Colorful bits of each life that passes through mine 

and that I'm sewing in the soul.

They are not always pretty, 

nor are they always happy, 

but they add to me and make me who I am.

In each meeting, in each contact, 

I'm getting older...

In each scrap a life, a lesson, a love, a nostalgia...

That make me more of a person, 

more human, more complete.

And I think that this is how life is made: 

of pieces of other people 

who are becoming part of the people as well.

And the best part is that we will never be ready, finished...

There will always be a patch to add to the soul.

Therefore, thanks to each of you, 

who are part of my life and who allow me 

to enhance my story with the scraps left in me. 

That I too can leave bits of me along the way 

and that they can be part of their stories.

And so that, from patch to patch, 

we can become, one day, 

an immense embroidery of us".

The Dance of the Clouds.

Holbox 2021

It's when I escape into myself... 

to touch my heart and from the center, travel to space ...

And there I sit to observe how the clouds dance without haste or chains, through the sky that embraces them... gray, white and black clouds... big and such small clouds...

And it's there where I see the wind driving them crazy with joy and absorbed in pleasure... 

the pleasure of being free and flying through the skies as far as the eyes cannot see... but where the heart feels...

I enjoy this blue sky, today, full of colors, with pure and serene dances. 

And I descend from the space until I touch the ground... the one where my feet place their footfall and make the way... following the path that is designed to find happiness...

Then I look around me and inevitably smile... there is nothing but light, love and much more...

I hug my brother tree, who tells me in secret and with the sound of the breeze in his arms, that there is nothing to fear, that the weather is good, that the current flows and that life IS, Here And Now.

I talk to the river that sings its beautiful song of eternal harmony with the day by day, and we vibrate at the same rhythm... where the birds perch calmly and fly without haste in search of food, and the fish fly between the earth and the Heaven free to come and go, like the clouds in the sky.

And I travel to the ocean, that infinite sea, that surrounds me calm and magnificent each time I travel it... teaching me, that I'm free to flow with it by dancing to its rhythm, flying on my feet.

And I come back to you, in each memorie, where my heart and soul are full, grateful, calm, in peace... with your smile illuminating me, gazing into your eyes, without looking away, immersed in the brightness of the window of your soul ...

Insolence...

In pleasures and suggestions,

insolence has no place. 

How far is the skin capable of resisting 

so many sensations and emotions? 

And how far are we capable of believing? 

Perhaps it is true, no one is as alone as we thinks ... 

or as accompanied as we wishes, however ... 

the subtle limit of loneliness and company

is what we ourselves are warning... 

creating... manifesting...

"That night I wanted

your hands drawing on my back,

the emotions that you feeled

when you looked at me...

How you burned my mouth

with your sweet kisses,

and how you tied my waist

with your body.

I wanted a moon only ours,

and be the owner

as long as I wanted. 

I melted into your aroma,

I got lost in your deep eyes

at the right time...

at that moment when the bodies faded"

Sometimes...

They are those days when you are just looking for a hug ...

a warm word and a look that reads your soul ...

And at the distance discover what my desire is ...

It's when I close my eyes and bite my lips to not call you 

and say any word, just to hear your voice ...

Thus, your image appears the first, in my mind ...

It's your smile that floods me and it is your aroma that I evoke ...

Enthralled I return to my inner self ...

 my hands become your hands ...

my skin in your skin and my senses in ours ...

turning my nakedness into your body

and my eruption in your name.

I would like to snuggle in your arms and sleep in your embrace,

forget about the world and be free to capture myself...

then I open my eyes and I see how the sun rises, 

through my window, while the morning light bathes us with new life.

 But I 'm by your side and shyness floods me ...

I can't tell ...

and I restrain myself from throwing myself into your arms ...

and I stop before the urge to kiss your lips ...

and I restrain myself from shouting those words...

Y me sucede que a veces... tantas veces...

Me sucede que a veces la melancolía toca a mi puerta, otra vez...

Y sigo pensando porque? 

Miro por mi ventana la lluvia azotar el piso cubierto por asfalto, y pienso en la tierra fértil cubierta con esa dura capa de cemento que no la deja expandir la vida... y me siento reflejada en ella... naturaleza, inmensa llena de vida... cubierta por una coraza dura de cemento que se fue formando con los años, con cada desconsuelo, con cada desamor, con cada "otra vez"... Pero estoy viva, en el fondo del corazón, inmensa en la plenitud de la existencia, latiendo como nunca antes, queriendo romper ese duro asfalto que no deja que fluya tanta energía contenida, en esos pequeños brotes de cordura... No quiero mesura, para que? La vida es una sola y ya el camino se acorta...

Cordura? es que no se contener las emociones y la energía fluye inmensa y perenne.. 

Cordura? Para que quiero cordura si el mundo esta hecho para los locos que no se coartan ante la maravilla de estar vivos aquí y ahora... y que mas podría suceder? Adelante sin miedo y con toda fuerza sin siquiera dudarlo un instante... si esta aqui es porque así debe ser... nada es casual, todo esta escrito... y lo siento en lo mas profundo de mi alma.. y lo siento en las venas, corriendo intensa y acelerada con cada latido de mi corazón, y lo siento así inconmensurable y sin medidas... 

Y me sucede que a veces vuelve la melancolía a tocar a mi puerta...

y me pregunto si esta bien ser así.. tan yo, tan llena de esa energía que no da tregua... y canalizada en cada movimiento, en cada armonía, en cada concierto de pasos unidos en el fluir hermoso de la danza, busco calmar esas ansias de querer dar sin mas que eso... 

y la lluvia se detiene y el asfalto húmedo me muestra que de una u otra forma la tierra se liberará a travez de alguna grieta y la magia de la vida fluirá sin que nadie pueda detenerla... tan solo tiempo, clama, paciencia... tiempo al tiempo y dejar que la vida me suceda y moverme a travez de ella...

Y me sucede que a veces la melancolía vuelve a tocar a mi puerta... es que el tiempo no se detiene y el reloj de arena se vacía inevitablemente.........

No te confundas.

 

No te confundas, 

no muero por meter un hombre ni en mi cama, 

ni en mi vida, 

el que no tenga un compañero en mis días 

no significa que estoy sola, 

mi vida no gira en torno a un hombre, 

tengo amistades, 

y seres queridos, 

tengo planes, 

tengo metas, 

tengo sueños. 

Me amo y valoro; 

no te confundas querido 

no soy fría, ni insensible, 

claro que deseo compartir mi corazón con alguien algún día, 

lo que no tengo es prisa, 

puede ser mañana, pasado, en unos meses o tal vez años, 

incluso podría ser hoy mismo o quizás nunca. 

Lo que no tengo es ganas de conformarme con "quien sea" 

por temor a la soledad, 

el problema es que la gente no sabe estar sola, 

no disfruta estar consigo mismo, 

y ese afán de llenar vacíos con cualquiera, 

con una prisa insaciable y desesperada por encontrar el amor, 

como quien está a punto de perder el vuelo en el aeropuerto, 

¿porqué tanta prisa? 

Por qué no esperar pacientemente, 

mientras se cultivan a sí mismos, 

se cuidan y se aman, 

cuando alguien se acerque 

y toque su alma de manera especial, 

estén completamente listos para amar, 

no te confundas querido no es egolatría, 

ya sufrí demasiado, 

no estoy para que me elijan, 

estoy para elegir. 

"Si de amor propio se tratase, todos conoceríamos la felicidad".

(sacado de por ahi...)

My babies, my soulmates...

The most beautiful thing about cats is 

they are free and in their freedom 

they make you part of their life.

Calm, patient, stealthy, 

they never despair and calmly choose 

a very high place to observe their surroundings… 

Independent, individual, with all their senses alert… 

Innocent and powerful... 

Beasts if necessary... 

Magic in every moment ... 

They choose you because they align their soul with yours 

and they love you without asking for anything in return... 

Faithful companions of all life... 

They respect your silence, 

companions in your pain, 

friends in your day by day ... 

Protectors of your dreams 

and guides of your time in their time... 

Cats are unique, faithful and unconditional... 

Observe and learn from them... 

Masters of the universe 

turned into small bodies to be by our side...

“GatitaJaz” 🌸

How I fell in love with Pilates.

 

My name is Jazmin. They call me Jaz, sometimes Jazita or JaziJaz.

 

I was raised in a distant country called Chile, which is in the southern part of the world. I grew up surrounded by dance, art, education and medicine. I am a dancer, primary school teacher, obstetrician (midwife), fitness instructor and children's dance teacher. Yes! I am all those things, and my life has developed in learning.  My passion is study and learning more about my disciplines.

You may be wondering, “how did I fall in love with Pilates?”

To pay for my obstetrics studies at the university, I started teaching dance. I was already a professional dancer at 15 years old, and came to discover fitness by chance. I loved fitness from the beginning and with my knowledge in dance and medicine, it was much easier to incorporate everything in each format. I developed a personal style in my way of teaching. In order to be a comprehensive and complete instructor who could help my students achieve their goals in this world of fitness, I became fully certified in each available discipline. However, I knew there was something else I wanted to attain.

 

Through ballet I learned about the Pilates mat. I knew that there was much more to it, but in my country it was difficult to access.

I believe nothing is by chance.  One day I fell in love, and at age 38 I got married. I packed my bags, sold my house, left my business and all my students, and came to the United States to try my luck.  Without a language, or acquaintances, or contacts, I came to America with just with my knowledge.  Having spent 18 years on a fitness trajectory and 25 years in dance and productions, I knew that there were more opportunities here if I tried hard enough. I learned the language as quickly as possible (I am still learning) and started my work teaching classes in different places.

However that still didn’t feel like it was enough. I wanted to know more. I wanted to study to be an instructor in Pilates Apparatus. I looked everywhere, but there was nothing that suited my time and work.  Everything was either too far or very expensive.  Then, one day, at the corner of my house, I saw a sign that read “Club Pilates – Opening Soon”

Living in West Palm Beach, everything at the time seemed too far to travel to so when I saw this sign, my heart jumped! I waited excitedly for 3 months and when I finally saw the “OPEN” sign in the window, I went in to the business and asked about the classes. I was so happy, and immediately paid my registration fee. I think I was even the first person to inquire and register. I believe it was fate that brought Club Pilates to my doorstep. When you really want something, the universe always conspires in your favor.

As I started classes, I admit I was absolutely lost. Despite my extensive knowledge as an instructor, I knew nothing in the area of this discipline. Thanks to the help, patience, and wisdom of my beautiful master trainer Leslie Russell, I fell in love with Pilates. The best person the universe could have delivered as a teacher was Leslie and she has inspired me like no one ever before. 

I Love you Forever my dear Leslie!    

Thank You.

Step by step, despite the my language barrier and being surrounded by people who knew much more than me, 

I remained inspired and wanted to grow and be much better. 

To be able to have learn the tools that I could share with my students was essential. Helping them to feel, explore, learn, grow, advance, progress and be better every day in each class. I can't stay calm if I don't see a progression, no matter how small. I am so satisfied when I see them achieve the exercise flawlessly.

I have a memory of each student in their first class and I don't forget their progress. I remember their beginnings and how they have grown.  I enjoy watching them progress together in this beautiful journey called Pilates.

Every thank you I receive, every assistance I provide, every smile I return, every drop of sweat, and even every frustration is a reward. Together, we never give up and seeing them come back for more fills up my heart and soul.

Even though I arrived here with a funny accent looking for a way to learn more, my students were very kind and helpful to me along the way. After 8 years I’m proud to say many of them still come to my classes.

Since arriving in the United States, I have earned 13 more certifications, plus all the Pilates Apparatus certifications with 8 specialties.

The ultimate question is - why did I fall in love with Pilates? Because, finally I can offer everything I have acquired and learned throughout my life as a contribution to generate a positive change in people.

Thanks to this wonderful machine, it is possible to effect progress in the physical and mental health of others.

Since I began to understand how my body was adapting to each exercise, I now understand how my mind is connecting with each movement. I’ve learned how my breath flows with each combination and I progressively feel the flow of my body, mind and spirit.  For me that is priceless.  There is no class in fitness that I teach (and I teach almost all of them) that makes me feel that happiness and connection with my soul. Other than perhaps bellydancing, which is my other half.

The alignment of my body and my inner being as my muscles stretch, contract, accommodate and perfect each time has given me sharper focus, concentration, and overall connection.

My imagination is more fluid now, and I can create more effective and powerful combinations for each level of student.  I understand that from a beginner to an advanced student, a simple exercise brings powerful results.  I personally practice and experience each combination so that my students can do them properly and transform their lives and bodies with Pilates.

Club Pilates gave me all the tools to  a better instructor. It gave me freedom, it gave me comfort, it made me feel at home and in communion with my colleagues and my students.  

Through Club Pilates I have experienced this world more fully, and I know my students see and feel the change. I have to say that not a single person has regretted trying a class with me. They fall in love just like I did. By seeing their muscles work it invites me to connect with others, and when they feel it for the first time, I can see the happiness on their faces.  I can see them finally understand the dynamics of their body, just like I did in the beginning by connecting body, mind and spirit. 

Today I have my private clients who love Pilates as much as I do and thank me every time for having insisted on participating in a class. It has changed their lives. It has taught them what it is to exercise conscientiously. And it makes me infinitely happy to be able to help them on their journey through this magical world of Pilates. 

And to you, my friend, if you have not yet taken that first step, I invite you to come to one of my classes. I promise you that I will do everything in my power, to make you live an unforgettable experience and for the first time you will feel your body and mind united in a single movement. Come and live this journey that will lead you a long and wonderful life...

 

Nothing is a coincidence. If you are reading this, please don’t hesitate. I assure you that Pilates will change your life in an absolutely positive way!
