God gives us spiritual gifts and passions to go with the gifts...this is mine...

In Genesis God created man in his image. It is important when we are working to live our best life, that we consider God's purpose for us.  Humans have areas to work on and they are all an integral part of becoming the person God designed us to be. As stated in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ESV "Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

As a child I attended church with my family in Wichita, KS.  We were regular members and it wasn't until the last 3 years that I have seen my purpose for God's kingdom on Earth.  My education, spiritual, mental, and physical health is a big part of this calling to help active-aging adults, as well as my family experiences. I had hip issues growing up, as well as a C-section with my second baby, and a series of injuries to my back muscles leaving me in pain.  I struggled to do daily tasks at work and at home with our two kids.  Getting housework done was challenging because bending over to pick up stuff was painful.  Walking was painful.  Sitting made my back feel worse.  Something had to change.  I took action after remembering that the Pain Management doctors I had worked for, recommended Pilates and yoga to their patients with similar issues.  I decided to try mat Pilates at my recreation center.  After a few months of two-three mat sessions per week, my right femur stopped popping out of my hip socket when hinging forward to pick something up and my back is now the strongest it has ever been!  I have not had a muscular injury in over 12 years.

Pilates exercises can prepare you for the work you do out in the world, mental training, spiritual connections, and other forms of fitness training.  By strengthening your whole self (spirit, soul, and body), you will help support the movement of your legs and arms, reducing your risks of injury, feel genuine happiness, freedom, and improving the quality of your life as you age.  The worst thing you can do to your body is sit and do nothing.  

"Change happens through movement and movement heals."

~Joseph Pilates

Our Spirit is our connection to God, our Soul consists of our conscience/mental state which also houses our spirit, and our body is our physical attributes which houses both our spirit and soul.  When you train with Rose, you will have the opportunity to explore and work on all of these areas.  This unique opportunity to receive mental health coaching, spiritual guidance, and physical training in one place can bring out your best whole self. The extent of work in each area will be determined by you.  No matter which area you work on most, it will have some effect on the other areas.
