Why I Decided To Pursue The POP Pilates Instructor Certification Course

On 12th March 2015, my entire class from Christ University in Bangalore had decided to take a class trip to a resort called Mango Mist on the outskirts of the city. We had a few days before the final exams when we decided to make it extra memorable for us all. Little did I know that I would go the extra mile in doing so.

I had suffered an ACL and meniscus tear after hours of dancing and an adventure activity (something I found out in the next couple of days).

I wrote my month-long exams with a crutch and support from family and friends. Dancing had always been my passion, and it was unimaginable now- as to when I would get to do it again. I was on bed rest for a few months and gained a lot of weight. I have also been suffering from PCOS since I was 13. A dysfunctional leg and hormonal imbalance are not the best of combinations. I decided to go on a weight loss journey and took my health back into control. But from 2017 – 2020, I moved to three countries and could not keep up with nourishing my body the way it needed to be.

In 2020, I moved back home from New York just before the lockdown and realised that it was time to heal myself again - physically and mentally. I realised that my gut is my second brain- which needs to be taken care of a lot better. I figured out the foods that worked and did not work for me. I started working out again and fell in love with it! I also tried to meditate for five minutes every day and started to feel some instant changes from within myself.

When a lot of people started asking me about my transformation, I felt drawn to the idea of getting certified. So, in November 2020, I decided to pursue the POP Pilates instructor certification.

I had honestly never thought that health and wellness would ever become such an instrumental part of my life.

Going from the chubby girl who used to get picked on for her weight to becoming a certified fitness trainer, it has been a gratifying journey.
