I lost my beautiful teenage son four years ago.

He was the love of my life, a magical soul and the most impressive human being I’ve ever come across.

Writing about my grief as a mother is not an easy task. I want to share my experience of grief, loss and especially how a practice of Pilates, among other things, has helped me navigate this thing some call a “journey,” but I call hell.

One of the elements differentiating classical Pilates from other variations is following the order of the exercises, as originally intended and designed by Joseph Pilates.
