What was your inspiration for writing your book?
My love for children, books and movement led me to a creative venture, my first ever children’s book “It’s Not Pilates!”
I became a new mom during the pandemic and found myself thinking about how to build a community around movement. When a friend suggested how fun it would be to explore Pilates for kids, it was like a lightbulb went off.
I wrote the story in 2021 without any plans to publish it. Then I came across the portfolio of the very talented illustrator Stefana Argirova and I knew it was time to bring the book to life.
