Impressed by the intel\u00adli\u00adgence and effi\u00adciency of this move\u00adment method, she also noticed how the rehab trajec\u00adtory had a direct impact on strength\u00adening the core. Expe\u00adri\u00adencing the trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtional power and the posi\u00adtive impact on her own body, Monica wanted to share this with beau\u00adtiful expe\u00adri\u00adence with others \u2013 and decided to become a Pilates instructor herself!  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_divider_4 et_pb_divider et_pb_space et_pb_divider_position_center et_pb_module preset--module--divi-divider--e4f92318-6b96-4abd-8806-a176d380d14f\"><div class=\"et_pb_divider_internal\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_21 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Monica likes to share how Pilates brings improved body aware\u00adness, align\u00adment, and more conscious breathing for func\u00adtional activ\u00adi\u00adties. She enjoyed to see how this work improves her client\u2019s posture, flex\u00adi\u00adbility and joint mobility, which then contributes to moving more pain free and re-gaining the joy &amp; fun of moving. Aging posi\u00adtively in a healthy way and keeping people fit and autonomous as long as possible has her strong interest. Pilates being a full body, yet low- impact method, it is acces\u00adsible for people of all ages.  <\/p>\n<p>Monica has worked and lived in Shanghai and Singa\u00adpore and is now based in her home\u00adtown Amsterdam. She has success\u00adfully completed the Polestar compre\u00adhen\u00adsive training, a world\u00adwide provider of reha\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtion-based Pilates, and is also a certi\u00adfied yoga instructor. She speaks fluent Dutch, English and Mandarin which makes her a perfect teacher for an inter\u00adna\u00adtional clien\u00adtele.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_blurb_4 et_pb_blurb et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_blurb_position_left et_pb_module et_flex_module preset--module--divi-blurb--2fe5e782-e587-48d5-9b59-718c30b0a2e0\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_content et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_main_blurb_image\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><span class=\"et-pb-icon et_animated et_animated\">\uf1ab<\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_container\"><div class=\"et_pb_blurb_description\"><p>dutch<br>english<br>mandarin<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386,"parent":0,"menu_order":8,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"footnotes":""},"dipi_cpt_category":[],"class_list":["post-43338","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"a3_pvc":{"activated":false,"total_views":0,"today_views":0},"ase":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43338"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43338\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43886,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/43338\/revisions\/43886"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dipi_cpt_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leilaspilates.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dipi_cpt_category?post=43338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
