Walking keeps me sane. And I just love the Vondelpark. The vibe, the people, the trees, the cooler temperature, everything about it! Such a privilege to live & work right next to green heart of AMS 💚🌳❤️

My upper trapezius is where stress likes to settle.
When life gets turbulent, it tightens into one big knot. The temptation is always to press, massage or aggressively stretch it away.
What helps me most?
Slow, rhythmic movement.
Simple walking is great for down regulating the nervous system. Side Stretches on the Wunda Chair are often my go-to. Combining breath with rhythmic control, they create the space my neck and upper back need to let go.
Movement first. Release follows.

Finetuning the body.
Not harder or faster. But more precise, more intelligent, more refined.
This is where the real work begins. In the subtle adjustments that change everything.
, we don’t only train a body. We refine a system.
Aging is not something to fear.
LS Pilates, we believe in aging well. With strength, elegance, vitality and joy.
Move your body. Refresh your mind. Reconnect to your energy and zest for life. Because as you can see vitality has very little to do with age.
So let’s GO ☀️🌱

Some days, balance feels effortless.
And some days… it simply isn’t.
In 2016, my body changed overnight. I developed hemiparesis due to brain inflammation. Everything I thought I knew about strength, stability and control shifted.
To this day, standing on one leg is not something I take for granted. It remains a delicate balance. Often quiet a struggle.
Man… I’ve come a long way. And I am still on my way.
Every single day, I recommit to my practice. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s meaningful. Because it gives me back pieces of myself, again and again.
Have there been despair? Absolutely.
Frustration? More than I can count. Moments where I wanted to give up? More often than you might imagine… And yet… here I am.
Living proof that the body is not a fixed story. That healing is far from linear. That with the right guidance, the right environment and true support. More becomes possible than you once believed.
This is what LS Pilates is to me.
Not perfection.
But present and a profound return to self ❤️
LS Pilates x Poetry
Where movement becomes language
and the body speaks what words cannot.
Each breath, a pause.
Each exercise, an expression.
Not just Pilates
but embodiment.
Poetry, written in movement.

Growth is rarely loud.
It doesn’t always arrive with clarity, certainty, or a sense of arrival.
More often, it moves beneath the surface. Reshaping you in ways that only become visible over time.
At LS Pilates, growth is not measured in repetitions or perfection.
It lives in the movement.

Finding stillness within.
I know how intense life can be.
When I was told I needed a second stem cell transplant, after an already devastating first, my hematologist said: “Calm will save you”
Because we all know letting go is terrifying… So we hold on to what’s known. Even when it no longer serves us. Even when it harms us.
Releasing control, stepping into the unknown… it asks everything of you.
LS Pilates was born in that space.
A space where you can soften into the discomfort.
Where you learn to trust a practice of letting go.
Because life is exactly that. And within it, your inner calm is waiting.
From there, you move forward.
