______ What Inspires You ______
I feel inspired when I play music, travel, create healthy meals with fresh local ingredients, adventure in the outdoors and experience the arts. I’ve been playing the violin since I was about 5 years old and began traveling internationally and learning about other cultures at a very young age. It always inspired me to go to the local markets in these places and pick fresh ingredients to cook or eat. I also feel deeply inspired by all types of dance and art and long for any opportunity to see a new opera, ballet, the symphony, museums or a new art exhibit.
______ Outside of Pilates ______
Beyond Pilates I play a lot of music, go on hikes, explore new places, swim laps, go to farmers markets, find new healthy food stores, make fun meals, spend time with friends and find opportunities to attend shows or visit museums.
