Movement teacher's views 'overstated'

Dear Editor: Re: It's all about movement, The Record, Oct. 4. I feel that the article written about me has misrepresented my opinion about fitness and the fitness instructors.

Re: It's all about movement, The Record, Oct. 4.

I feel that the article written about me has misrepresented my opinion about fitness and the fitness instructors. I teach holistic movement, and whilst I do not consider myself a fitness instructor  I  do not judge anyone for the path they choose to follow to improve their health - it is simply not my way, and I feel the article makes me appear judgemental and angry, which I am most definitely not.

I do think harm is done to women by promoting an unattainable physical appearance, however, I respect the work that all the people in that industry do as they do it from the heart and are only trying to help others. I wish to apologize to all who were offended by the manner in which my opinions have been overstated and misrepresented.

I wish everyone the best results from whatever path they choose to in order to become healthier.
