A trickle here and a splash there and\u2026 voila, you\u2019re ten years younger! We chat with professional dancer and Pilates instructor Shelly Turner, who\u2019s found her own real-life fountain of youth \u2013 movement.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of dancers often look younger than their years. Coincidence? We think not. And Shelly Turner\u2019s proof!<\/p>\n<p>Learning to dance even before she could read, Shelly Turner can\u2019t go a day without moving her body. The first half of her life through dancing, and the second through Pilates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember performing my first tap solo on stage and I absolutely loved it! The feeling of anticipation, the silence before the music starts, the attention of the audience and the butterflies. Oh my goodness &#8230; and then the applause! It all just brought on this wonderful feeling of accomplishment to my life. It really is an adrenaline rush and leaves you wanting to experience it all over again, every time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s always enjoyed expressing herself through movement, thanks to her mom, Rosemarie Middleton, who instilled the passion in her from a very young age. That, coupled with her love of teaching, inspired Shelly to turn her passion into a career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI entered the workforce as a dental assistant. In the morning I\u2019d be dressed in my dental assistant uniform, then I\u2019d rush home to change into my teaching gear and give dance lessons for the rest of the day. During this time, I also realised just how much I really loved working with people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeeing a young dancer start as an insecure beginner and helping her transform, grow and eventually blossom as a beautiful performer has always been incredibly special to witness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As time progressed, Shelly expanded her horizons by adding jazz and contemporary, ballet and hip-hop to her list of dance styles.<\/p>\n<p>Before she knew it, she was teaching full-time. Being appointed as an examiner and, later, board member of the Association of International Dance Teachers &#8211; which took her to various countries around the world \u2013 has undoubtedly been the highlight of her career.<\/p>\n<p>A firm believer that happiness comes from within, Shelly believes it\u2019s imperative to find your own mojo \u2013 the things that make your heart sing \u2013 outside of your partner and family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen my two sons became of age, one of them leaving the house some years ago, I refused to let my happiness leave as well. I then decided to take on a new challenge. Since I\u2019ve always loved the anatomy of the body &#8211; which goes hand-in-hand with dancing &#8211; becoming a Pilates instructor seemed the most natural progression for me. And so, I qualified and opened my own studio, Pilates on Point, here in Krugersdorp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before she was dubbed \u2018the back whisperer\u2019, growing more and more passionate about finding methods to help people &#8211; especially over 50 &#8211; live a healthy and pain free life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been so blessed to have encountered the most special people, each with their own concerns, aches and pains and it has truly thrilled me to work with them and rehabilitate them to the strongest version of themselves. I\u2019ve grown to especially enjoy fixing backs and spines, which adds a few more years to a person\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Shelly, Joseph Pilates says it best. \u2018If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old. If it is flexible at 60, you are young.\u2019 And lucky for her clients, she believes that you are never too old to improve your body\u2019s strength and confidence.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16666 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-696x1044.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-1068x1602.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/joburg-west\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2023\/05\/Shelly-in-Article-2-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It comes as no surprise that she jumped at the opportunity to combine her love for both dancing and Pilates by hosting courses on anatomy and safe dance practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith this I hope to help dancers and teachers become even more enlightened on the workings of a dancer\u2019s body, and how best to stretch and strengthen both safely and holistically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, then came Covid. Coming to realise that change is the only constant, Shelly was determined to keep going, and so she started hosting virtual Pilates classes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy parents have always led by example &#8211; being flexible and resilient to whatever life throws at them. Thanks to them, my inner voice told me to make a plan and work with what I have. And I\u2019m so thankful I did. Since hubby was laid off during this time, it\u2019s my clients\u2019 continued support that pulled us through. I will forever be grateful for them as my business just continued to grow from strength to strength!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve just moved into the most beautiful space and I feel so grateful to have accumulated all the Pilates equipment that I could possibly need! I would love to continue creating a better awareness of what Pilates and something as simple as frequent movement can do for people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s not in the Pilates or dance studio, Shelly can be found in the kitchen where she\u2019s either cooking up a storm or dancing with her hubby, taking a long walk, visiting food markets, chilling around the pool, or just spending time with her family.<\/p>\n<p>Whether she\u2019s busting a move, reversing ageing through Pilates or walking the Tankwa Camino, Shelly will always stay true to herself by acting on the callings of her heart.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI always know that things will work out\u2026 always! I also believe that you can achieve what you believe and so I\u2019ll always remain the positive person I am today. I hope to inspire others to get their bodies moving too because if there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned, it\u2019s that nothing keeps you young quite like raising your heart rate from time to time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Follow @Pilates on Point on Facebook and @pilatesonpointwithshelly on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common Pilates myths<\/strong><br \/>\nDespite gaining popularity, Pilates is still new for a lot of us. Shelly helps us understand it better by debunking the most popular myths around it.<br \/>\n\u2022 Pilates is like Yoga \u2013 not!<br \/>\n\u2022 Pilates is for women \u2013 ask my male clients this question!<br \/>\n\u2022 You need to be flexible to do Pilates \u2013 Nope, but it\u2019s definitely something you can work towards through Pilates.<br \/>\n\u2022 Doing Pilates solely can help you lose weight \u2013 Maybe throw in a healthy diet and one or two other forms of exercise, and you\u2019re good to go!<br \/>\n\u2022 Pilates is boring \u2013 I\u2019ve never conducted the same class twice in the seven years I\u2019ve been teaching. Props, weights, balls, bands, and specialised equipment makes Pilates one of the most diverse interesting and challenging forms of training around!<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 Health benefits of Pilates<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 For all ages and abilities &#8211; Pilates caters for everyone, from beginner to advanced. You can perform exercises using your own body weight or with the help of various pieces of equipment.<br \/>\n\u2022 Increases flexibility &#8211; Pilates practice keeps moving with smooth transitions between precise and slow, controlled movements. Instead of stretching after a strengthening exercise, most Pilates exercises are a combination of the two, which improves strength, flexibility, and mobility<br \/>\n\u2022 Develops core strength &#8211; Pilates is famously known for its emphasis on the core \u2014 the centre of the body from which all movement stems. The core is all of the surrounding muscles of the trunk that when strengthened and pliable, support and stabilize the body.<br \/>\n\u2022 Improves posture &#8211; Improved posture is the difference between weak, imbalanced muscles, headaches, shoulder or back pain, and sitting or standing tall with ease. Pilates focuses on the full body\u2019s alignment, the ideal range of motion at the joints, and a balance of all opposing muscles.<br \/>\n\u2022 Increases energy and a sense of well-being &#8211; By focusing on breath, Pilates improves cardiorespiratory capacity. This stimulates feel-good hormones, oxygen flow, and blood circulation.<\/p>\n<p>Text: ALANICKA LOTRIET. \u2022 Photographer: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hildamansphoto\">HILDA MANS<\/a>. \u2022 Make-up and hair: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EAMakeupandHairstylists\">ELAINE BOSHOFF<\/a>. \u2022 Outfit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MadelaineClothing\">MADELAINE CLOTHING<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine being able to bathe in the fountain of youth from time to time.
