why we love to teach

.

I absolutely love movement and love the challenge of providing feedback to help my clients create graceful, pain-free, and fun movement. Sharing the love of Pilates and efficient movement to others makes me wake up every day with a purpose! As a little girl, I loved to dance, move, run and dreamed I would be a coach someday. I fell into the path of Pilates winning a gift certificate for a private Pilates session, after one session I fell in love with Pilates. Pilates got me out of pain, I learned how to move with grace and still work on it every day. Each day I feel like a detective and absolutely love finding imbalances to create balance.

I love to teach because it makes me really happy knowing I’m making a difference in people’s lives. Whether it be through the physical part of a class or just sharing a laugh, I love knowing I’m helping people through fitness. Funny enough, I accidentally fell into hammock yoga. I had done aerial silks before and wanted to bring something like that to McCall. When a friend suggested getting certified in hammock yoga, I jumped at it , knowing no one else in McCall or Idaho was teaching this specific style.

Teaching for me is a very personal interactive experience, whether it is working with a private client or class. Assisting others to gain self-confidence in themselves and further knowledge of the beautiful mechanics of the body, is very exciting and rewarding! To see a client become stronger, and want “more” is one of the most win-win experiences I have ever known. I am grateful for the opportunity to teach. I have always been fascinated by the many facets and systems of the human body. To me, the human body, and the body of every being on the planet is “sacred biology(TM)”. As I moved deeper into my Pilates practice, I realized I was connecting with an unexplored part of myself, new territory for me. I became intrigued with this Pilates journey! I am in my sixties. How wonderful to have new horizons!! Teaching was the next logical step, as I wish to share my joy of mind, body, spirit connection with others. My teaching philosophy is: first, do no harm, second, let’s become stronger and more joyful together.

I joined the McCall Pilates team with a wealth of experience in administration. I run things on the back end! Any technical issues with the system or help with scheduling or purchases, I’m your go-to!

When I’m not working my administrative magic, I work as a Health and Life coach. I began my health and fitness journey back in 2012 as a way to manage chronic illness. Health coaching seemed the natural course after all I had learned on my own journey. I love helping other people find their inner spark, to re-imagine a vision of the future they could have and how to get there. Mastering habit change is crucial work for anyone wanting to improve themselves.
