Integrity Pilates

recently shared footage of 1st generation teacher Bruce King saying how he likes to work slowly. Go watch it. 🫶

It made me happy because that’s how I like to work (hello confirmation bias). And yet, in a sea of “just move”, “keep them moving”, “at some point, you need to speed things up”, it can be refreshing to hear this. 🤗

I think where one is on this spectrum boils down to what one thinks their role as a movement educator is. Is it to make people move? Perhaps.

To me, its not. People can do this in a number of other activities (just go for a walk). I feel my job is to help them become better, “more sophisticated” movers (as my teacher would say).

That means I have an opportunity to help them figure out what the missing link(s) may be. And you don’t find that out by doing normal things at your normal speed. How has this worked out for you thus far?

Anyway, that’s me on my soap box even though no one asked for my opinion. A reason to follow or unfollow me, as the trend goes. 😉

It happens to the best of us. We just get back on the saddle and start again. 🙂

Move over, Pilates princesses. I bring you real sweat and real flies. 🪰😬
The heat and the bugs have been my challenge this holiday. 🥵
Just out here trying to keep things real. You’re welcome. 😜
