“I have been taking private classes with Jodie for seven months. I was diagnosed with posterior tibialis tendinopathy and in need of strength training post physiotherapy. I also have a bad obstetric history and weight issues. I was advised core strengthening by my Obstetrician. Whenever, I worked on it, I would develop regurgitation. My chance of exercising in any format was curtailed by my limitations. My exercise physiologist at Enhance physiotherapy suggested that Pilates would be the best for me to achieve my goals. I was looking for a place closer to my place and found Soul Flexible. When I went for the initial consultation, I realised my body was so stiff. I had limited range of movement and every exercise seemed difficult and painful. Jodie prepared a customised exercise plan for me and would always ask about my needs prior to the session. I could hardly appreciate the effect on individual muscles in the beginning, but I noticed that I was able to move more freely than before. The way every movement is aligned with breathing helps me to be present in the moment. I don’t sweat nor do I feel exhausted at the end of the session. I feel peaceful, happy and free. I’ve noticed considerable improvement in my flexibility and strength. Now, I can sit for long hours studying and even walk pain free. Thank you Jodie for everything you have done for me and continue to do.”
