Thank you to everyone who participated in Mind Your Body’s GYROTONIC Demonstration Night!

We saw some beautiful movement on the GYROTONIC Equipment in the Mind Your Body studio and found the enthusiasm of our attendees contagious!

Our guest list included David Parsons and Parsons Dance company members as well as many of our valued clients and community members.

A special thank you to Field of Greens who delivered a delicious spread of fruit, cheese, crudite, and antipasto.

Paloma Sendry took the beautiful photos you see here as well as those posted to our Facebook Album.

Mind Your Body Pilates found 2 interesting foot articles on NPR this morning. One talked about the use of orthotics, while the other reported on using shock-therapy to battle foot pain. We don’t have an opinion on either orthotics or shock-therapy for foot pain relief, but GYROKINESIS and Kundalini Yoga both use an “Awakening Series” to achieve the same result. The “Awakening Series” consists of tapping with the finger pads all over the body to bring blood to the surface and promote circulation. In addition, Mind Your Body says Pilates strengthens the feet by encouraging joint articulation and muscle tone in the lower limb. The foot-work series on the Pilates Reformer works in a prehensile foot, wrapping the toes, therefore strengthening the muscles under the foot. Doming is also an exercise that contracts and lifts the muscles under the foot, used to strengthen and help with the alignment of aging feet.

Mind Your Body Pilates & GYROTONIC will bring the workout to your home!

IN YOUR GYM:

An experienced,  Mind Your Body Pilates Personal Trainer will tailor an aerobic exercise session to meet your needs. Whether it be running/walking/power walking indoors, or in Central Park, weight training, or  core work. If you prefer the privacy in your own home, our At Home Personal Training will gear up to customize an at home workout for you.  Most of Mind Your Body’s instructors are also experience with spinning, outdoor cycling, running, dance and Yoga.

Dust off your Pilates equipment!:

Don’t know what to do with that Reformer in your gym?  Not sure why you purchased such expensive Pilates equipment because you do not use it?  A Mind Your Body Personal Trainer can offer you the convenience of a Private Pilates session at home.  Many at home gyms have added Pilates equipment and some of you have purchased the beautifully designed equipment but few know how to use the Reformer or Tower.  We will personalize a workout to your needs and instruct you how to use the equipment.  A New York City Pilates workout is an effective method of strength-training, stretch and full body movement.  So, dust it off and allow one of Mind Your Body’s trainers to guide you through the fluid exercises and you will be on your way to a more fit, lean body and put the equipment to use.  Add one At Home Pilates lesson to your fitness program and you will be toned, lean, and strong.  A body in motion, stays in motion.

Mat Pilates:

If you don’t have access to a gym or Pilates equipment, you can reap the benefits of a Pilates practice on your living room floor!  One of the most rigorous Pilates workouts, is the Pilates Mat.  This is a series of 50+ exercises intended to be completed in less than one hour!  A Mind Your Body Personal Trainer will guide you through a challenging Pilates Mat workout and all you need is a little floor space.
