We hope summer brings everyone well. For those of you whom we have not seen a while, we hope you are continuing to keep up with Pilates during your travels. Remember, Pilates doesn't necessarily have to be done in the studio, as we hope the exercises we have posted in the past serve as a solid reminder that even at minimum, a few exercises are sufficient enough to maintain a strong, healthy body.
I was recently at a friend's birthday party, hosted on the building roof. Instead of taking the elevator, a few of us opted to take the stairs. As we were traveling down flights of stairs, I reminded myself to stand tall, keep my posture aligned, and pull my abdominals in; reinforcing the fact that even away from the studio, I could integrate The Pilates Method.
Recently, my business partner Elle and I, along with our staff, had the pleasure of hosting my sister's ( Elle's cousin) engagement party here at the studio. Special thanks to our staff whom helped transform our Tower Mat Class base into a festive party atmosphere. Our creativity was at its best, when we transformed our tower mats into convenient, stylish benches. Even for a hip, savvy New York crowd, it was interesting that the majority had not ventured into a Classical Pilates Studio. As we were toasting and celebrating to the upcoming nuptials of my sister's wedding, I was asked throughout the evening to give the history of the Pilates Method. Though my dress didn't allow me to demonstrate The Hundred, it was rewarding to have people comment on the unique apparatus and inviting setting. I couldn't help but feel inspired that Pilates is a true and tried method that captures people's attention, and peaks their interest- even at a most unusual and exciting time.
On a final note, we have been busy spreading the word with our information tables, postcards, and exciting promotional offers. If you are new to Center for Movement, and Pilates in general, we strongly suggest you take advantage of the incredible deal that is our Intro Package. Offering 3 Private sessions, 2 Tower Mat classes, and 1 Reformer Class, this opportunity is both an immense savings, and a great way to get started to a better you.
Many thanks must be extendedto Azadeh and Zachary, whom without their help and commitment to help spreading our blog, we wouldn't have been able to reach out to our readers.
Stay tuned! We will be posting new exercises that are sure to keep you Beach- Body-Ready.
Best in Health,
Donna
