Pilates by Teresa

I received this email and it humbled me beyond words. Can we make a difference? Can we make the world a better place? This balances my days where I make a mistake, or think I could do more.

In 2008, I was one of your clients and you were my first ever instructor and entry into Pilates and group fitness. I was a very young 18 year old who just wanted to move my body and figure out what it meant to be healthy.
When you receive an email like this, it makes me feel like I make a difference, that the world is a little bit kinder. Thank you A, for taking the time to contact me. I am humbled.

I was attending Jr College at the time and was a very poor student. As you know, with the recession and being one of the few employed members in my family- financial times were hard I remember having the guts as an 18 year old and asking you whether I could come in at a sliding scale. Through your kindness and love for wellness, you quickly agreed.
At that time I was commuting from East San Jose, working in Milpitas, and going to Cupertino to attend college. I would sleep and nap in my car just to take your classes at that evening hour.
Through time and space, I’m in my mid 30s, now working in a professional career and took on a group fitness instructor role. I am currently teaching Reformer and working towards completing my 500 Hour certification.
I wanted to send you this note as I know how important it would be to hear from someone who always remembered your sense of kindness and gesture to pass on your love of movement. It has forever stayed with me, and I make it a point now as a Pilates instructor to make movement inclusive, accessible and FUN!
I hope there’s a big smile as you read this and give yourself all the love for your impact on your community.

Thank you for my cards, every month. I cherish them. I adore my clients.

I can not help you legally in CA but I will provide you Milkweed and safe places to transition. No dogs with any flea meds near you. No blowing or Roundup anywhere near you.

Kindness and appreciation for the people around you. Thank you again Alaska Airlines for your fantastic crew. I got my first wings from the pilot and Proseco from my flight attendant for my goody bags. You are special!!!

There are 2!!! Look what I found today working in my yard. Monarchs are everywhere and now catapilars and that means eggs. Back when it was not illegal to help out monarchs in CA, my class actually watched a chrysalis close. I stopped class so they could watch a beautiful sight.

I love Venus for her strength of mind. My passion with empowering women, started with empowering girls. I coached girls in soccer and softball for years. A huge responsibility as a coach to support, meet the children where they were, and do no harm. Teach them what ii is like to be on a team, accept defeat and wins, build confidence and acknowledge and accept challenges. Expose them to the joy of moving. I miss those years but nw apply my same passion to my clients. Thank you for trusting me, with you!!!
