My  Dance and Wellness

Jeffreys Bay

I was 60 when I started with Pilates classes.  Besides other reasons, I joined with the main reason of strengthening my legs, especially the upper legs, as I was suffering from heavy tired legs.   It was a huge effort for me to climb 7 stairs up to our bedroom.  My legs were so weak that I could not stand up easily from sitting on the couch.

By starting with only one class per week, I noticed a difference within the first 2 months.  My legs no longer feel so tired and heavy.

Thanks Liz!   Your classess are such fun !!!!

3 years ago (2012) a friend came to me and told me about pilates. I started off with the first class at edge fitness gym with Liz as the instructor. After x3 classes I could feel my muscles were much more flexible and moveable. I could walk, bend and move much easier than before. I lost 3kg of weight without trying to loose it.

I would recommend pilates for anyone with moving or balancing problems and  will continue with pilates for as long as I am able to.

Pilates has gradually and positively helped to shape my life and body at an age where growing old has become a daily reality.

Thanks to pilates, stooped shoulders, and a possible dowager's hump, have disappeared. Flexibility and mobility are holding steady. Kneeling and climbing ladders are no problem. I have become acquainted with my own body, it's strengths and weaknesses and how to work maximally within its limitations. Pilates aids focus and concentration. The future is not in my hands however I am responsible for my own health and well-being, both mentally and physically.

I find Pilates a Powerful ally.
