NAMRATA PUROHIT
ENTREPRENEUR, FITNESS EXPERT, AND PARTNER, THE PILATES STUDIO
“My Pilates journey began at the age of 15. I fell down while horse riding and had to get an emergency knee surgery. Post the surgery, I tried various forms of exercise—and even rehab—to relieve the pain, but nothing made me feel one hundred percent fit. Around the same time, my father [Samir Purohit] was hosting a Pilates course in Mumbai. I asked to be a part of it, and four days into the course, I felt little to no pain for the first time in a year. Over the years, Pilates has helped me in so many ways. From ensuring I stay absolutely pain-free, to developing and maintaining strength, flexibility, balance, and a strong core.
The best thing about Pilates is that it offers overall fitness as it involves both the mind and body.
