June Masterclass Featured Student: Ana A.

A long time ago I was the person who hated sports, any form, any type. It has something to do with the fact that I'm pretty tall and for every single thing I enjoyed doing I would just be told I'm too tall to do it. They would just say I should try basketball or volleyball or something of that sort, and that was just not for me—anything with a ball I could simply not do.

This is a story all about how my life got flip, turned, upside down... literally. I've taught Pilates for 8 years at my studio, Discover Happy, in this small sweet town Decorah, Ia. Around 2013 I wanted to explore the roots of Pilates and ask the question: Why? Why do I teach this movement?…

We have such a short time in our ‘today’ body that it seems a waste to not live In it with ferocity. The beauty of dance is that it is for every human, no holds barred. It is the ownership of your own movement, subtle or extravagant. We are able to express all ranges of laughter and tragedy in any way that we can dream of.

I started aerial hammock during grad school because I wasn’t happy with my sedentary life. I realized my body had some difficulty doing activities I wanted to do, like kayaking. I looked up classes and fell in love…
