The Start of Something New
Hi Friends!! I am so excited to share this new beginning with you all. Some may be confused, wondering what “The Modern Mat Method” is. Well, I’m here to explain. As someone who grew up feeling uncomfortable in my body and unable to work out, after my much-needed breast reduction in December of 2024, a weight was lifted off my chest, and I could finally move.
Pilates became my outlet, as I began taking heated classes at my home studio, Hot Vault in West Boca. These classes sucked me in, and I realized that fitness could be fun, something I never believed to be true- even though I grew up with a personal trainer as a Mom. This opened my eyes, and I finally found something that would wake me up at 5 am, excited to start the new day, and sweat it all out before heading to high school.
I then decided to become Mat Certified through Classical Pilates Education, and I had the best time meeting other Pilates lovers and learning from each other.
Arriving on FSU’s campus for the summer semester, I knew I wanted to land a job at the Campus Gym teaching Mat Pilates. Practicing for my audition, I taught classes for my new friends in the studio. On a whim, I decided to film it and post on TikTok, gaining tons of traction and having over 150 comments of girls sending me their contact information to do Pilates with me.
I had to take advantage of this opportunity in front of me.
After some business calls with my managers (my parents), we decided I should start my own ‘brand’, eventually landing on The Modern Mat Method.
Everything was clicking, and I began posting about a free class I would soon host. I have never felt so fulfilled. Meeting all of my new friends/clients, I could tell that what I was building was something special: a new community that loves mindful movement.
So here we are, I cannot wait to see where MMM will grow. I have endless ideas about expansion and new opportunities for each person involved.
Stay tuned- this is only the beginning :)
