Time and Trust - thanks instagram, for recommending this audio 😄

Put it the time and keep trusting the process, and results will follow.

Cliche but still very true. My body isn't perfect. I have a lot of tight areas. My flexibility and mobility are both challenged. I'm a work in progress. Forever learning.

But the beautiful thing about Pilates, is it's very forgiving but also very freeing. Humbling but also very empowering. Come try so you'll understand what I mean.

Also, don't you just love this beautiful space? 😍 thank you @bbstudiomanila for welcoming and accepting me in your home ❤️

Time to stand up for myself, to challenge my balance and stability. It's not so much the range of movement nor the heaviness of the springs that I was after, but staying on top while executing with good form and conquering the fear of falling off. What good is muscle strength if your can't stay balanced on your feet. #merrithewmindfulmovement #stottpilatesinstructor #stottpilates @bbstudiomanila #balancetraining #pilatesreformer

It was a real struggle. Lots of improvement needed on my part mainly getting my abs get to that lower back into a better position. #merrithewmindfulmovement #stottpilatesinstructor @bbstudiomanila #matpilates #matpilatesisnoteasy

Pilates is basically about control, stability, flexibility, awareness and STRENGTH. Added these moves that I regularly do at the gym to my Pilates workout, and it was 🎉🎉🎉 ! #merrithewmindfulmovement #stottpilatesinstructor #bbstudiomanila #stottpilates @bbstudiomanila

When tita Len teaches her niece, barre 3 instructor (take her class, she’ll kill your booty) @teachcyoung , tita Len is just teacher Len and she’s Christina. We give each other our best and not take anything for granted. It’s a teacher - student relationship. We can’t help it. We’re both obsessive over our craft, and Christina asks to do it 1 more time when she gets it after a couple of tries. That’s Pilates. It takes a few to get the right movement, and once you got it, feel it, all you need is a couple more. #pilates #pilatesreformer #pilatesinstructor #merrithewmindfulmovement #stottpilatesinstructor #stottpilates @merrithew

To those who know me well enough, I know this is not surprising. I’ve been a Stott fully certified instructor and teaching Pilates for over 20 years @bbstudiomanila . Throughout the years, I have delved into other modalities of fitness. I joined a powerlifting comp at the age of 40, with Rene Dio as my coach. I ran my first marathon at 49 yrs old (my goal was to run a full mary before turning 50).
I joined @electricstudioph in 2015 as an indoor cycling instructor, the most senior amongst the team. In between all that, I always looked for other fitness modalities to try, and some got me hooked. My favorites are @wearetms (love the vibe and Woodway treadmills) and @f45_training_makatiavenue . I guess the the dumbbells and barbells were always close to my heart. Pilates has given me the best foundation for all that I did. I’m not just hooked, Pilates is like breathing for me. Lately, I’ve been going to @strong_philippines and for those who look for a complete and efficient workout with limited time, I highly recommend this. Today I tried @ultralagree.ph and what this gave me is a more intense muscle endurance challenge. Slow movements with Time under tension is, in my opinion, what you can expect. If there were more days in the week, I’d do all of them, and Pilates more often. Thank you to @jjjaaaaiiiiii who I later found out is the head instructor at UL for working out beside me. I had a great time sharing my thoughts and listening to yours after class.
To all reading this, there are so many fitness studios to choose from. Do what makes you happy. My journey in fitness has given me so much joy. 💖💪🏽😍
Adding, because not to be forgotten, is my attending @barre3ph classes for a few months. Another modality that I enjoyed because of my weird obsessiveness for good form, which they always kept an eye out for! @boodeerama 💕

After almost a week of coughing and some cold sweat spells, the real sweat made me feel better today. #bbstudiomanila #pilates #merrithewmindfulmovement #stottpilatesinstructor

More practice, feel better. This helps release my lower back from tightening. #workinprogress #stottpilatesinstructor #merrithewmindfulmovement #bbstudiomanila @bbstudiomanila
