Mentorships with Pilates Instincts is for the students who wish to excel just as much mentally as they do physically to achieve the best out of their techniques and mindsets.
Dance is truly one of the most physically demanding training one can do. Without restraint and discipline, functional technique, balanced core and posture strength, injury is common and frequent. Therefore, in a mentorship approach, dancers are taught to take ownership over the limits of their bodies whilst receiving physical training to develop the strength to excel past those limits. It’s like going on a physical journey of understanding to intelligently turn weaknesses into strengths and feel great along every step of the way, not fatigue and frustration.
Shannon also has the privilege of teaching the students a way to connect to and utilise their most important part of themselves to defy anyone’s expectations. The mind of a dancer needs to be anatomical and metaphorical to achieve the balance of athleticism and art, strength and creativity, discipline and freedom.
The mind is a tool and needs to be developed and exercised often more than the body to achieve results. Successful Dancers are known to be excellent problem solvers, negotiators, resilient yet driven all within a sphere of humbleness.
”During the history of my successful mentorships, not one day did pass when a student didn’t know how make themselves feel taller but importantly feel better about themselves… one parent said that they looked vibrant.”
