Welcome to the Lunar Core Pilates blog! I’m Mulenga Kapotwe, the founder of Lunar Core Pilates, and I’m thrilled to share my Pilates journey with you. This practice has not only transformed my physical health but has also deeply impacted my mental well-being and overall outlook on life. Here’s how it all began.

Discovering Pilates

My journey into Pilates started during a particularly stressful period in my corporate job as a lawyer. Long hours at the desk left me with chronic back pain and a constant feeling of fatigue. I knew I needed to find a convenient way to relieve my discomfort and improve my health. That’s when I stumbled upon Pilates.

I initially joined an online Pilates platform, out of curiosity. Little did I know that this decision would mark the beginning of a life-changing journey. The first class was challenging, yet invigorating. I felt muscles I didn’t even know I had being worked and stretched in ways that brought immediate relief and a sense of rejuvenation.

The Impact of Pilates

As I continued practicing, I noticed significant improvements in my posture, flexibility, and strength. The core-focused exercises helped alleviate my back pain, and I began to feel more energized and balanced. I also became more toned as Pilates is great for toning and sculpting your body.

But the benefits extended beyond the physical. Pilates became a sanctuary where I could escape the pressures of life and work, and reconnect with my body and mind.

Pilates taught me the importance of mindfulness and breathing, helping me manage stress and anxiety more effectively. This holistic approach to fitness made me realize that true wellness encompasses both body and mind.

From Practitioner to Instructor

Inspired by my own transformation, I decided to delve deeper into the world of Pilates. I pursued certification and became a Pilates instructor, eager to share the benefits of this practice with others. It was a leap of faith to leave my corporate job and focus on my passion, but it has been the most rewarding decision of my life.

The Birth of Lunar Core Pilates

In November 2023, I officially launched Lunar Core Pilates with a mission to create a supportive community where individuals can discover their strength, flexibility, and inner peace. Our classes are designed to cater to all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, ensuring that everyone can experience the transformative power of Pilates.
