Movement has always been my way of experiencing the world. Caring for my body it’s not optional for me, but a duty of self-love. Since childhood, I’ve felt at home running, doing sports while exploring the outdoors this helped me feed my adventurous spirit. 

I always felt grateful for a healthy body, but I didn’t fully grasp what that meant until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis 3 years ago. Suddenly, my movement was limited, and I faced deep uncertainty. The stillness felt unfamiliar and heavy. Even then, I did what I could to stay active, and that’s when I found Pilates. 
Pilates became my anchor, a low-impact but powerful way to rebuild strength, protect my joints, and ease pain. It helped me recover lost muscle and slowly return to the activities I love. To this day, Pilates is my foundation for staying strong, mobile, and ready for my next adventure. 
Training for my next adventure with Pilates-inspired moves — and hoping to inspire yours too! #introductions
