I don't know, I have enough money, no fears, and seek no recognition. I teach Pilates solely because I love both the practice and the instruction of it—a lot.

A 60 yr old student came back from her vacation and tells me you know what all my friends once they sat down they had to get assistance to stand up on their feet again and i got up just like that so amazing . It was a powerful moment for me. It emphasized again how much I love and believe in the magic of Pilates.

In my personal life, I consider myself a lazy individual who leads a rather mundane, uneventful, peaceful, and busy existence. I rarely go out (or more accurately, I need someone to invite me) and the most flattering remark I received after spending an hour with someone was- "Abdul, it felt like I was talking to a wall, you just kept saying 'hmm' while I spoke"-. I don't tend to overthink or overanalyze, I simply trust my instincts in most of my actions. I find pleasure in what might appear to be insignificant activities like relishing sleep (I can doze off anywhere at any time). When I'm awake, I often find myself doing nothing at all or tackling Math problems. I establish goals based on inspiration rather than desperation. One day, I aspire to make a positive impact in the world—primarily by creating a beautiful home, cultivating my own vegetables, and keeping a few rabbits as pets—so I can feel like the benevolent ruler of a small fluffy kingdom. And yes I will continue to practice and teach Pilates.
