My Story
Akilah Beckles
Exhale at Hamilton Princess
In November 2018 my body underwent major trauma in the form of open abdominal surgery. I was sworn off of nearly all physical activity for eight weeks as part of the healing process.
After the eight-week recovery period, I wanted to “be strong again” and so I enquired about Pilates.
With Pilates, I experienced rapid transformation. Not just in my body, but also in my mind. Building deep core strength transformed the way I saw myself in the world. I felt empowered.
It was not long before I found myself seeking more. Second Generation Master Instructor Sophia Cannonier was instructing me during private sessions as if I were a teacher. Eventually, I formalised the training experience by embarking on an apprenticeship.
I enjoy Pilates for being complex and challenging. I appreciate the ways it shows up in my everyday life such that that Pilates helps me feel sturdy and balanced while on a steep and rocky hike. I teach to encourage and enable others to experience this same sturdiness and balance.
