Hi!
I have been meaning to write this-it’s quick but impressive!
I have been 5’4” my entire adult life. In fact-I used to work in a medical clinic and would measure myself from time to time-so I’m very certain-that I have been 5’4” for years. About a year after I started training in pilates, I had a Doctor’s appointment and they took my height and weight. The nurse muttered 5’5” to herself as she wrote in in her book. I asked her to try that again, and she repeated it and said-yes you’re a solid 5′ 5”. I even had her do it AGAIN and again 5’5”. I was about 30 when this happened so I’m certain I didn’t actually grow the 1 inch, but that my posture had dramatically and permanently been altered as a result of the exercises I’d been practicing in pilates!
Thanks for the opportunity to share!

Maggie,
I love that story! Thanks for sharing it beyond our class. Everyone needs a ‘goal height’ and a way to get there!
