Tidying through my cupboards the other day I came across a stack of old Callanetics DVDs and it brought back so many memories. It has been years since I actually followed an official DVD but I am completely confident that if I popped one into the player today I would still know every single routine off by heart.
Looking at them made me reflect on just how long this incredible method has been a part of my life. My journey started all the way back in 1984 when I lived in Műnster Germany and where I followed the original video '10 years younger in 10 days' religiously on a daily basis. After I moved to Dunfermline, Fife Scotland in 2000 I became part of the furniture at the Dunfermline Studio, first as a student and later as a dedicated teacher.
Callanetics has been by my side for over 40 years. Throughout those decades, it saw me through numerous serious injuries like a fractured pelvis (fell off horse), badly strained ankle (miss-stepped during a military style boot camp session), a pr*****ed disc in my neck (after a Bodypump class) etc etc etc. The beauty of Callanetics is that no matter what your body is going through there is always a part of the routine you can do or a way to safely adjust the movements to meet your specific needs and abilities.
My deep love for the method eventually led me to take the leap from dedicated student to teacher officially qualifying as a Callanetics instructor in March 2008. Since then I have taught thousands of classes. I enjoyed every single one of them and while those original principles remain the foundation of everything I do, my teaching has evolved over the years. In 2020, I completed my training as a yoga teacher, and bringing that knowledge into the classes has been incredibly rewarding. Today, I don't teach fixed, repetitive Callanetics routines. Instead I design a completely fresh routine for every single class seamlessly incorporating my yoga training to deliver a dynamic, mindful, and deeply effective toning and strenghtening workout every time a student steps on to their mat. Whether you are recovering from an injury or looking to build deep-muscle strength and flexibility we will find the perfect adjustment for your body. I look forward to seeing you at one of my Zoom classes.
