Once upon a time a baby princess was swept away by her entourage to protect her from the life of being raised as royalty in the kings court and hidden away in a family of gypsies in a far away land. She grew wearing second hand clothes and wearing the same clothes to school every day having to walk through cold winds and rain with the wind cutting through her thin clothes and rain soaking her worn socks through her worn out shoes. But everyday she survived telling herself that she was a princess and that all of these bad things will pass. Many years passed and she was sought out may many false princes who promised to restore her to the life of royalty that she deserved. Finally, one day she was crossing the street singing to herself a song that she knew would send her home to safety when a horse who did not know she was a princess ran her over and left her lying broken in the street and people who also didn’t know of her royalty picked her up and cared for her until she was well. She never told them she was a princess for fear that they would not believe. She then decided that she would set out on her own to find her castle and treasure that was waiting for her is a far away place that she did not know. Her travels took her to far away and unfamiliar jungles, seas and ruins of extinct civilizations; to far away continents and tropical jungles and high cold mountains where ruins of ancient civilizations and promises of spiritual enlightenment began to inspire her awareness of her true self realizing that her kingdom and her subjects were all around her where she went. She learned strength from the Ashanga people, endurance from the Garuda people and core awareness from the Pilates people. The tests of her journey left her with inner cervical focus that required the teachings and magic spells of the great Guru Verapan who helped her restore the inner strength to continue her journey. Still not satisfied that she was prepared to continue her journey to her kingdom she ventured to learn peace, meditation and breathing from the tribe of Yin. Now she fly one more time to meet her Pilates Guru; to bring back the the ultimate in Pilates for her own Studio.
Today her journey continue …
