Wendy began training in Pilates with Aligned For Life in 2016, as she was entering her 70s. Wendy began Pilates as she had been experiencing ongoing neck and back issues. After attending the gym for strength and mobility exercises, a neighbour mentioned Pilates to her, and highly recommended Aligned For Life and Moonee Ponds studio owner and instructor Kath Banks.
Wendy’s neighbour told her that practicing Pilates had meant she hadn’t needed to attend a physiotherapist. Wendy gave Kath a call, and once she began her Pilates journey she never looked back!
Wendy now continues to practice Pilates as her posture, balance, strength, and neck soreness have greatly improved. Wendy is a keen walker and lives an active life, and she wishes to participate in walking holidays, and walking in her everyday life for years to come. Pilates will allow her to do this.
Recently, Wendy has completed the climb to the top of a volcano in Galapagos, without any effort!
We are so grateful to be part of this journey with Wendy.
As we journey through life, each decade brings its own set of challenges on one end, as well as opportunities for growth on the other, both physically and mentally.
