“Banter Within Myself for Years”

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:56:24 +0000

I always knew that meditation would be a very good thing for me but can never get myself to stop long enough to learn.
This banter within myself has gone on for many years. I do hit STOP often, so maybe I have been meditating all along.
Read the article below….if you have been trying to hit stop and meditate, perhaps you have do it and just need to recognize it as such.

One Happy Post Natal Pilates Patron Speaks Out

admin — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:03:24 +0000

Dear Gail,

I just want to say thank you for providing such a great space and such healing teachers. Before I came to Pilates in February with my Living Social pass, I suffered a second-trimester pregnancy loss in December, after a rough, complicated five months of pregnancy during which I was not allowed to exercise for most of it. After the loss, I was out of shape and grief-stricken. But beginning in the New Year, I started Pilates classes, mostly Ashley’s Tuesday at 4:30. Her gentle guidance, obvious warmth and attendant eye and instruction — even just once a week — have been central to my healing. I walk away from her class feeling taller and unburdened by the sadness I’ve carried in my chest and shoulders for the past several months. I feel light and freed and even excited by life’s possibilities again. You already know this, but you have a very special instructor in her. I’m very grateful to both of you and look forward to my next class.

Renewed Bold Pilates Moves for You!

admin — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:42:23 +0000

Pilates is endless. The more I do and learn, the more I realize how much more there is to learn. In a workshop that I didn’t have high expectations for, I learned the late Kathy Grant’s ideas and bold movement style and this exceeded them with A+ honors! I took away so much from the five hour intensive and cannot wait to share the work with you. I will focus on arm balance, inversions, breath, feet and teaching you to use the equipment to find your own body resistance! Did you know that Mat Pilates was only performed if equipment was not available to practice at home or do 5-10mins in the studio if there wasnt a free machine!
See you in class!
Gratefully,
Gail
