How did you get into Pilates and how long have you been practising it? I discovered the benefits of Pilates about 10 years ago, and I’ve been teaching it for three. I signed up for Pilates training because I wanted to certify as a barre instructor but I thought I might be too old for the high-energy routines – then I found I was one of the fittest in my class, despite most of the students being half my age. A year later, I certified as a barre instructor, too.
