I came across this poem a few years ago and fell in love with it.

TRULY ALIGNED-AN ODE TO PILATES TEACHERS

Before- A disconnected being with wobbly, unfocused ways.

I sauntered life’s course like a subway train.

With tunnel vision, I had no map- only jerky stops and careless slouching.

Finally- A teacher took me by the hand and refined my awarenesslike grains of sand.

She said stop that habit and listen to me -there  is a whole new way for you to be.

Then piece by piece, she stacked me up and I drank in wisdom from the Pilates cup.

Moving about with elegant control, I learned to feel the center of my soul.

Now- I live each movement with my breath, and stretch the boundaries of my existence.

I perceive no limits with my body or my mind

For I am now- Truly Aligned.
