Pilates & Lobsters

"In order for a lobster to grow, it must shed its exoskeleton—a process that leaves it blind, exposed, and vulnerable in a hostile environment. I found myself in this 'lobsterhood' during my Pilates teacher training. After years of thinking I knew it all, my shell was crushed, and I realized I knew nothing. But it was in that complete defeat that I found a new way of seeing movement. Whether you are a teacher or a student, growth requires us to crack the shells of yesterday’s habits. It’s scary to be exposed, but on the other side is a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Go lobster, go!"
