This is Grant. He was my little boy. We had to say goodbye to him almost 3 years ago. It is still hard to talk about. As if it happened yesterday. I remember the first time back in the studio I thought I would be ok. I walked in and took one look at my friend and fellow teacher and sat down and cried. I got sent home by my crew. They were amazing during that time. Today a beautiful client came in and the minute I saw her face I knew something was wrong. She started to cry saying she had to say goodbye unexpectedly to her own little pup. I felt all my emotion as if it had just happened to me. I told her I knew how difficult and was she sure she was ok to be here. She said “yes. I knew you would know how I felt and that’s why I came”. So as my throat was full of my own memories and emotion and knowing what hers were as well I said “ok! “ We started on the mat a little shaky but soon the work flowed and conversation was on just what was in that moment. I saw her breathe, smile a bit, move and for that hour forget a bit for moments. When she left I wanted to again cry but I had my own session with my teacher. He knew and had heard our conversation. He was there when I had lost my Grant. Soon I realized he was doing what I had just done for my client. As I drove home I realized how true it is that Pilates heals, movements heals. Today it healed for a moment my client and I was so thankful she came and trusted me and Pilates. I know many of you have had losses as well. It’s hard but we keep going right? Today was a hard day but a beautiful one. I know Grant was there. My client came and trusted she would feel a bit better. I’m glad I could be there and understand. I’m glad Pilates could give some focus and moments today. #doglove #hilaryopheim #mentor #mentorshipprogram #pilatesteacher #pilatesteachertraining #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudioowner #wapilates #workshops #pilatesworkshops #pilatesmentor #letsseewherewecangotogether #pilatesgoals #pilateseverywhere #pilatescommunity #pilatestinstructors #furmommy #pilatesmat #traditionalpilates #pilatesreformer #gratefuleveryday #beyou #happinesscomesfromwithin #workit #challengeyourself #behappy

Click link in profile for more info! Check out my little brother❤️ I believe that going through everything I did made me who I am. It gave me the outlook on life of “hey, it will all work out”. It got me super focused on me making things happen for me that I knew I wanted and could do. I also know that my parents did the best they could. No one is perfect. My not perfect childhood made me the person I am today. Everything we do leads us down the path we are on right? We make choices for ourselves and we choose to make it work or not. I have thought a lot on this as I prepare my workshop for 2028 PMA. Here is a question for you and you can DM as I would love to hear your experience. What is something that has happened in your life that you know changed the path for you? #hilaryopheim #mentor #mentorshipprogram #pilatesteacher #pilatesteachertraining #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudioowner #wapilates #workshops #pilatesworkshops #pilatesmentor #letsseewherewecangotogether #pilatesgoals #pilateseverywhere #womenempowerment #pilatestinstructors #houstonianbornandraised #pilatesmat #traditionalpilates #pilatesreformer #gratefuleveryday #beyou #happinesscomesfromwithin #workit #challengeyourself #behappy #communitymatter #pilatescommunity #livewell #instapilates
