Ann was stricken by rheumatoid arthritis in 1992 after the birth of her second child. She could not walk and function properly for 2 years. Steroids were her only relief in those years until her orthopedic surgeon told her that her bones were getting brittle. Ann decided to turn to natural cures and found Yoga. It helped her attain the flexibility and suppleness in her body. Later, when she discovered Pilates and Core Training, she functioned better and even shed the weight that she had been putting on since 1994. Her weight was a hefty 76kg till 2002, when she shed it off through Yoga, Pilates and Core training. Now, she tips the scales at 58kg.


"I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They'd be happier."

 

- Joseph Hubertus Pilates, 1965, age 86.
