We at Mind Your Body find this great debate about the ”Take Back Yoga” movement very interesting. What are your thoughts?
Hindu Group Stirs a Debate Over Yoga’s Soul
A small foundation has generated buzz with a campaign asserting that “Hinduism has lost control of the brand.”
This GYROTONIC video was so inspiring to me. I am happy to share the joy of this movement with you. Enjoy!

It is no wonder that Deborah Lessen was honored at this year’s Pilates Method Alliance Conference. One of the founders and strengths behind the PMA. Deborah has dedicated much of the past several years to furthering Pilates education, awareness and community.
I find her teaching to be educational for fitness and kinesiology. Her subtle approach is right on every time. I have been teaching Pilates for over fifteen years and have been training with Deborah for five. I learn something deeper in my practice every session. Deborah has enhanced my instruction and understanding of the Pilates method in a way to make it accessible to most people, regardless of fitness ability or physical limitations.
I am honored to work with Deborah Lessen, a master in the Art of Pilates!!
Thank you, Deborah Lessen!!

Gail received this great review from one of our valued clients!
(in regard to the 10:45 am Tower/Mat class this morning)
“The class was Fun. You got down with us and participated so we could see (not just hear) the correct movements. Loved the way you moved me and the other woman with the reference to a dance rehearsal, this helped the dynamic appear more like a team versus just four individuals taking a class. I felt like I was having a “private” given how you spoke to each of us.
You are a wonderful instructor Gail.”
Thank you!
If you have not already seen this performance you should! These feats challenge our perception of what the human body can do.
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.
Call or email us today with the information above the screen if you have any questions or are interested in scheduling an At Home Personal Training session!
“Make sure you get your antioxidents!” It’s becoming a common phrase these days. Antioxidents help ward off many diseases such as cancer, cardiac issues, and arthritis. Here at Mind Your Body Pilates & GYROTONIC, we’re offering a new supplement called Resveratrol for sale through Isotonix. Gail, the owner of Mind Your Body Pilates & GYROTONIC, sells the Isotonix supplements at the studio because she believes in the results they offer. A study recently aired on PBS supports the benefits of Resveratrol. See the study here. To learn more about Isotonix and the other supplements they offer to New York City Pilates studios click here!
