“I hadn’t been taught the exercises in sequence as taught by Joseph Pilates and in fact many of the exercises I had been taught were so adapted and broken down which meant the relevance and significance of the exercises were lost on me.  I most probably looked pretty good doing the exercises but it wasn’t until I did the CPM mat work course and studied the anatomy lines and did further work that the whole purpose of the mat work really made sense and to be quite honest it blew my mind.  I had to really dig deep, deeper than I ever thought possible and after I dug deep I had to learn to take the foot off the throttle and work with tensegrity and a lightness and grace.  I still can’t believe how amazing I feel when I have done all 34 exercises and walk off to face the world.  I don’t do it enough.  Nobody does it enough.” Fiona McIntosh
