Irina Strantseva (level 5)

When I was a child, I was ashamed of my belly. To get rid of it, I even started taking aerobic classes with my mum. I liked dancing to energizing and upbeat music, which is why I decided to train as an instructor. So eventually, I started giving functional training, strength training and dance classes. I was losing weight but not my belly. 

I dived into the deep and fascinating world of sport, health and science. Despite the endless number of seminars, conventions, master-classes and various trainings I was attending, I felt that my professional jigsaw puzzle was missing a very important piece. It wasn’t about the belly any more, which was still there. The problem was, that one system didn’t have any logic; another one was lacking scientific justification, while the third one wouldn’t provide for growth. To top it all, because of the trainings my body starting aching, especially my back. Besides, it was not in my intention to ruin my bely-decorated body. 

One day I visited a Pilates seminar. I had read about wonderful effects of this method, so I had some expectations when I started. Having finished several courses at different schools, I felt disappointed as no magic happened. And the worst thing was the pain was growing. At about the same time I joined the team of World Class. To my biggest surprise, by the time I had finished the first Pilates stage there practicing on Gratz equipment, the back pain was gone. 

With every following seminar, my admiration for the genius of Pilates grew stronger as well as my gratitude to Romana, who carefully passed on the knowledge and the method. Finally, the puzzle was complete. Nowadays, I see how the method is changing my body and the bodies of my colleagues and students, how they become naturally healthy, fit and strong. It is an incredible inspiration for me. This is what I have been looking for. Now I am in the right place.  Oh, and the belly is gone.
