Mark, who was our fantastic model in these videos, would also like to share about his experience with Pilates.
‘Hi, my name is Mark and I’m 58 years old. I’ve been coming to Pilates classes now for approximately 5 years.
The reason I began coming to Pilates was that after 23 years competitive ballroom dancing and a lifetime of heavy work in the construction industry my body started to let me down. I kept having all sorts of injuries. At the time I thought I was physically fit but after consulting my doctor she advised me that I was quite inflexible and I needed to do something about it or risk further injury.
I decided to give Pilates a go after hearing about some of the benefits.
To be honest I was fairly skeptical when I first started but thought I would persevere anyway, even though I was a slow learner! Persevering did pay off eventually. The difference with dancing was amazing. I had better posture, core strength, muscle control and stamina through better breathing techniques.
The benefit for work was obvious with less recurring injuries. I thoroughly recommend Pilates to anyone who wants to keep their body in tune.’
We’re delighted to share that Kath Banks, owner and Principal Instructor of Aligned for Life Moonee Ponds, has been named a finalist for the AUSactive Pilates Professional of the Year Award.
