I have been doing Pilates since 1987 and teaching Pilates since 1989 (back when there was no Pilates certification) and was certified by the Pilates PhysicalMind Institute in 1993. I became an ACE certified personal trainer in 2000, the same year I was accepted as a Certifying Pilates Teacher for PhysicalMind.

What do you like about this subject? I love & live Pilates after watching how well it works consistently and repeatedly over decades.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? There is so much still to learn and do. I am in my 40s and feel like my life has just started. Who knows where I'll go next?

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology. He wanted to see Contrology practiced in every home, school, hospital, and office in the world.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Since there is so much pelvic floor strengthening in Pilates, it really will help your sex life!
