I have a friend who was telling me about sessions that she was taking with Amy. We laughed as she told me she is not sure how it works but it does, and the difference that she has found in her own body is incredible. I decided to give it a try as Cores and Effect was offering a Took Kit class. At the first class I was amazed, as I left there sweating and in my opinion did not do a usual workout. After the first session I was hooked and wanted more as I could not believe that something so simple as moving your body a certain way could actually make you feel better. I have always been under the impression that I need to push my body to extremes to get it to do what I want. I had never ever stopped to notice how my body was feeling prior to taking the Tool Kit and, if I had noticed anything, I know that I would have ignored it and pushed through.
Working on certain releases brought up emotional feelings that I had buried into my body and ignored. Amy allowed me to accept this and work through it as she encouraged me to sit with it, which I have not had the courage to do in the past.
This whole experience has helped me on a physical, mental and emotional level more than anything I have ever done. I notice my body now and pay attention to it. I allow the emotions to flow through me when required and I feel so much better due to it. It is amazing as to how we are never taught to use our body properly and how rewarding that can be when we are shown.
I would highly recommend Pilates as it has enhanced my life more than I ever could have dreamt possible.
