keep up the spirit!

Happy to know that Mei Tchuin and Jenette, my level 2 students, always making an effort to come for Pilates 5 times a week. Keep it up!Your devotion to pilates is not a waste of time. Pilates is a neverending learning journey. You will always learn new things and discover more about you body in every session. I've done Pilates for 5 years and realized there's alot bout Pilates which I haven't discovered and alot more movements to master. Honestly speaking, the day you master all the pilates movements will be they day you can call yourself an Acrobat and start joining the circus. ha ha..
But again, it doesnt mean tat u have to be an advance Pilates students to benefit from it. You can see improvement in your strength, flexiblity, balance and body awareness just by doing a Pilates beginner routine. In our everyday life, it is our poor strength, flexiblity, balance and body awareness which lead us to poor posture, back pain, injuries which might need surgical treatment such s slipped disc and hip fracture and so on. Do you want a better and more functional life? Think Pilates.

Increase your pilates sessions for faster result

My student, Thien Ming Fui, used to have very weak arms. Always complaining bout her weak arms causing her not able to perform some of the exercises. But after she increased the frequency of her pilates training from twice a week to three times a week, her arm strength has greatly improved in a short period of time. She now amazes us with advance exercises which she can perform with ease.

Thanks to Pilates!

Two of my most dedicated students got 1st and 2nd place in a golf tournament this week. They are Angie Ng and Rose Liew. Their dedication to Pilates really did pay off. According to them, pilates helps build the strength and stamina needed for a long golf game. Congratulations to the both of them.
