Despite the shortcomings of my chosen teacher training, I was not about to give up. Healing and feeling strong was too important to me, so I put in the work, even traveling to other studios where I knew there were solid teachers to observe and learn from them... Once I began teaching classes, I realized how lost I actually was... Add to that the fact that I was STILL experiencing tension migraines regularly and had not experienced a marked improvement in my pain or strength levels... This was what I had been searching for all this time! Jennie could see that I was craving more when she offered me an opportunity to become her mentee, and I jumped at the opportunity... I finally was beginning to understand what exactly Pilates was and how to teach it.
