Great classes this weekend and last by Jane @clubpilateswaterloo and Allison today at @clubpilatesnorthwaterloo !

The learning doesn’t stop when you become an instructor.

In fact, that’s when it really begins.

Every class we take strengthens our own bodies, sharpens our teaching, and reminds us what our members experience every time they step onto a reformer.

Being part of the class helps us connect—not just with the movement, but with the incredible community we’re fortunate to be part of.

Forever a student. Forever grateful. 💙

Why shoulder stability matters more than arm strength!

A few years ago I had post menopausal frozen shoulder. I literally could not touch the top of my head.

I love what Pilates has helped me gain back. 💙 this is 63.
Never too old!!

Happy New Year!! ✨⭐️

This fall marked the end of a 30-year chapter in the floral world (with my long time friend and business partner @thesilverthrifter Donna Swinson) and the beginning of something entirely new for me.
I stepped into Pilates not just as a retirement project, but as a commitment to staying strong, curious, and fully engaged in life as I age.

Teaching mat Pilates since the spring and reformer Pilates for @clubpilatesguelphsouth @clubpilatesnorthwaterloo and @clubpilateswaterloo for these past months has been both humbling and exhilarating. This work is harder than I imagined — anatomy alone is enough to send you over the edge! — but it’s also deeply rewarding in a many ways!
Many thanks to the owners, Lead instructors and fellow instructors for their kind and generous support. I am so grateful.

Pilates has transformed my body, improved my mobility, challenged my brain and my sense of what’s possible at this stage of life! 💪
Who knew 63 would feel this good?!

I’m excited to expand my education in the new year and can’t wait to see where this path leads.

To my family and friends: thank you for your patience, encouragement, and love while I’ve been a little MIA for this last 14 months.

Bring on 2026 — I’m ready 💪✨
