🌱 Why Strong Foundations Matter — in Aerial Pilates and in Life
When you plant a seed, it doesn’t bloom overnight.
It needs the right soil. The right amount of water. A balance of sun and shade. And most importantly — time.
If you rush it, if you don’t give it the right foundations, the seed won’t grow strong. But with patience and the right care, it can grow into something beautiful, resilient, and lasting.
Aerial Pilates is exactly the same.
🌸 My Story as a Slow Learner
I’ll be honest — I’ve always been a slow learner.
When I first stepped into a Pilates class 24 years ago, I was in pain every day. I didn’t look like someone who was “struggling,” but I was. It took time, patience, and repeating the basics again and again before I really felt confident in my body.
And when I climbed onto a trapeze 18 years ago, I felt weak. No upper body strength, no clue what I was doing — just curiosity pulling me forward and upwards.
That’s why I teach the way I do today. Because I know what it feels like to start from scratch, to not feel “good enough,” to need more time. And I also know how powerful it is to have someone guide you gently through the foundations until confidence blooms. That's why my Aerial Pilates teacher training is suitable for beginners too. You take it at your own pace and learn in your own time.
🌱 Why Foundations Are Everything
Foundations aren’t just “the basics.” They’re the roots that hold you steady and allow you to grow taller and stronger.
In Aerial Pilates, this means:
- Setting up your hammock safely
- Learning clear, simple entries and exits
- Understanding spotting so you (and your students) feel supported
- Applying Pilates principles in the hammock so your movement is strong and aligned
When you get these right, everything else flows more easily. You build confidence step by step — and that’s where the joy comes in.
🌞 Growing at Your Own Pace
Just like plants, we all grow differently. Some bloom quickly, others take more time. Neither is wrong — it’s just nature.
If you’ve ever felt like you need more time, like you want to get the foundations right before you leap — you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I designed the Foundational Mini-Training for.
