Pilates in old age
Born and raised in the Valais Alps, I was very close to nature and physically active even as a child. Thanks to my two degrees in sports science and physiotherapy, I have the right, helpful Pilates exercises at my disposal, both for training with fit participants and for those with physical ailments.
“Change happens through movement and movement heals.”
(Joseph Pilates)
My passion for Pilates arose from a personal physical limitation of my musculoskeletal system, which forced me to switch to gentler training methods. After just the first class, I was captivated by this holistic method that connects body and mind.
Since then, I have been practicing and teaching Pilates regularly, especially for people of advanced age and/or with limited physical mobility. In my classes, I strive to inspire participants and convince them that adapted activity is still very much possible and valuable even in advanced years, helping to eliminate potential pain.
For me, teaching Pilates isn't just about instructing people on various exercises. Rather, it's about learning movements together, having fun together, and, above all, enjoying physical mobility.
