Pilates Day 2015 is approaching, and this year, we want to honor Pilates instructors. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, more people are seeing the value of having Pilates in their lives.

Jill Carlton tells us how Pilates saved her life after a motorcycle accident she had in 2008. After so much time spent rehabilitating her body, she still finds that Pilates gives her the hope that she will be able to regain what she lost from the accident.

Thank you to Everybody's Pilates for allowing us to film at your studio.

They had to do a chain from basically from hip to hip, pelvis to pelvis with about nine screws in it to keep me together. I spent multiple surgeries, three months in the hospital, learning how to live and learning how to walk again. Right side of that is that plot is truly saved my life and not a lot of people can say that about anything and especially about a passion they enjoy.

But even my surgeon said that if I hadn't been in the shape I was in at the time of my accident, I would not be talking to you right now. I might never be the same. I might never regain everything, but actually parties gives me that hope that I can. I'm Jill Carlton. I love to teach pilates, and I'm, I'm a studio owner. [inaudible].
