Pilates, Hiking, Strength, and the Freedom to Move
Hiking five miles to a breathtaking view reminded me why I do Pilates—not just for strength, but for the freedom to move with confidence. Steep climbs and rocky trails require balance, core strength, and stability—all things Pilates builds. Whether it’s hiking, traveling, or simply feeling good in your body, movement should support the life you want to live.
Want this for yourself but don’t think Pilates is for you? I’ve got the perfect solution…

Live Stream Classes—How to Set Up Your Space
Now that I’m offering live-stream Pilates classes, let’s talk about setting up your space for success.
If I can only see your hands or feet, I can’t give you the cues that make Pilates so effective! Here’s how I like to run my live streams:
✔️ I’ll demonstrate when necessary, but my main focus is watching your form and giving you real-time feedback.
✔️ A clear space and a well-placed camera make all the difference in getting the most out of your session.
✔️ Check out my blog post on how to set up your space for live-stream classes!

Words of Wisdom: Self-Confidence Starts from Within
I recently gave an elevator speech at the Alpharetta Business Association meeting—while standing on one foot the entire time!
Why? Because confidence in your body translates into confidence in life. When you trust your ability to balance, lift, and move with ease, that confidence carries over into making hard decisions, whether in business or personal life.
I never feel more empowered than when I can pick up a heavy weight, master a complex Pilates move, or even just move with ease and strength in my daily life. And guess what? My 10-day Pilates Primer is a fantastic way to start building that confidence in your body.
Yes, I’m shamelessly plugging it again, but honestly, if I had a dollar for every time someone told me, “I can’t do Pilates” and then proved themselves wrong after just a few sessions… well, let’s just say I’d be writing this from a tropical beach. So do yourself a favor—grab the free primer and prove yourself wrong!
“With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.” – Dalai Lama
If you’re ready to move with confidence, let’s get started together.
Yours in longevity, empowerment, and thriving,
