I was brought up on a
diet of conflict. A roller coaster of emotional storms. On reflection, wisdom
and age I see now that my mother's battles with her disappointment at not
fulfilling her dreams of becoming a famous modern ballet dancer led to deep
frustration and anger. Even though this ultimately turned her career into
developing her extraordinary exercise technique that did make her famous. She
never quite appreciated what a gift she gave the world. Now she is called a
genius. When asked how on earth she devised these exercises she replies in one
sentence and would do to this day.
I'm incredibly proud of
her and can now appreciate my chaotic childhood. It was different, she was
different but never boring and always challenging and my challenge now is to
keep mother's brilliant technique alive and I continue to teach her work and train
more people.
We understand how
important it is to exercise our bodies. Your body was made to be used. The
muscles stretched, the joints to be flexed. Stay Mobile, it's a long life.
