Oops, I guess my name “RevealPilates” can be interpreted in quite a lot of ways 🙈 To clear up any confusion: No, it’s not about taking of clothes …. 😅
I came up with the name as I was reflecting on why I love Pilates and why I love teaching it. So, Reveal Pilates stands for ….

… letting the body reveal its natural capacity for effective, efficient, spontaneous, smooth, and intelligent movement. Instead of overly focusing on contracting specific muscles to execute exercises, we can guide the body towards a desired movement, allowing the body to figure out which muscle to activate, how and when to achieve this movement.

… encouraging openness to new insights and self-discovery. By connecting our minds to our breath and movement, new understandings emerge naturally, without forcing or seeking specific outcomes.

… observing what the body communicates, understanding why a particular exercise may not work, and finding ways to adapt

… a deeper principles I strive to live by: I don't need to know what the bigger picture is. All I can do is take the next right action and trust that “more will be revealed” (not including naked bodies 😅)
