I came into contact with Pilates for the first time in 1997. At the time I was a dancer at the Zurich Opera House and had to take a break for three months due to a foot injury. I trained about three times a week in the first Pilates studio in Zurich. I will never forget the first ballet training after my injury: my muscles were stronger, more supple and my movements were more coordinated than ever. Since that day, Pilates has had a prominent place in my life.
