Pilates Cowgirl

What beautiful Saturday!! I enjoy teaching Pilates this lovely morning to all the amazing people that came to day! Followed by some self nurturing. I think I almost cried a couple of times with a couple of “a-hh” moments of self-realization and self-validation during todays “Yamas” workshop led by I truly enjoyed it, the prefect blend of learning, an hour of gentle yoga and ending in a savasana sound bath! Talk about good for the soul…I’m very much looking forward to next Saturday’s workshop. See you there next weekend.

This picture was taken around 2007-2009. My heart wanted to share this with you as that little kid on top of the grey horse (not Pegasus) just graduated from Boot Camp on Friday. He is now at A school. Congratulations my little punpkin you will always be my little riding buddy. I did 💗 our conversation and silence as we would ride Clyde and Bo.

we have loved from the moment you sat on Esmes lap! You will always be our special Pilates greeter circus Pup! Little girl, enjoy Skateboarding and swimming in puppy heaven.

My journey as a pilates practitioner and my journey as an apprentice instructor paved the way to where I am now. I unfortunately did hear both instructors and students comment, “what she’s a Pilates instructor!”.... sad isn’t it. At that time it hurt so much, you see I wasn’t always that girl in the this picture. I was and still am this smart, confident, goal-driven, compassionate and a bit sassy woman. I bring my teaching from my faith into my classes and my everyday life. I teach my classes with dignity, grace, patience, compassion and above all I am NOBODY to judge. I’ll leave the judging to Our Lord. I’m so grateful that I did have a handful of fellow instructors that were compassionate and so many more students that resonated with me. Let’s be honest the struggle is Real! I understand you and can relate to you. So I try to do my best to be your motivator. This is why I truly want to make sure you have the best form, acknowledge your level but kindly progress you through your class to get that beautiful SPARKLE! I want to leave class feeling like it was worth your time and with a Delicious Glow about you! Your thanks and your consistency to my classes keep me motivated to fight my struggles.

Wishing everyone Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful families may your checks hurt from smiling, my your mascara run from crying tears of joy and your ribs hurt from proper belly laughs!

Holding little Teddy two days before heading into surgery, here we come!

-Five years ago I start the journey that has lead me onto this path. I made an appointment to have my breast cheats because I was feeling sharp pain and experiencing swelling on my right breast. The highly recommended Dr. did his initial exam with my husband present and said everything was normal. He was told verbally by myself and it was written in my chart that I had implants. He did not order an MRI or X-ray! I should have gotten a second opinion.

-Then my face started getting red not just after 🏋️‍♀️. I started getting even from eating chicken and rice cooked at home. My husband now knows every bathroom from San Diego to Disneyland. My joint started hurting more, I was constantly bloated by bed time (or earlier). I tired weight training my old passion and it just hurt my joints to much! Finally when we moved to Ramona my new Primary Dr. believed that I might have lupus, and arthritis so she sent me to a specialist. My RA finally officially diagnosed me with psoriatic . No and still something was wrong.

-I had a little FB venting moment (it was quickly deleted) no really my style you know. I was lucky though that my wonderful cousin caught it and sent me to this path. Which I will talk about more as I go through the healing process and restarting my own Pilates self-practice.
