At Strongcore Pilates, we believe in the transformative power of Pilates to heal the body and change lives. After decades of weight training and obtaining my BCRPA Weight Training Certification, I led thousands of group fitness classes. However, after struggling with chronic pain from several serious injuries to my neck and back, including 3 crushed vertebrae—compression fractures T6 to T9—I discovered Pilates. It offered a means to exercise that didn't exacerbate my pain and inflammation. This journey inspired me to further my studies in Pilates and pursue my Pilates Certification in BC, aiming to share this excellent low-impact movement and healing modality with others. I truly believe we all deserve to live happy, pain-free lives through practices taught at Vancouver Pilates Training Academy, particularly in our Reformer Teacher Training Vancouver programs.
