share the love, think of it as a pilates stocking HOHOHO

Workshops….and not Santa’s

Sundays ‘Science of Pilates’ was a success! Although we definately missed an opportunity by not getting any video of it *sigh* the instructors present seemed very engaged and receptive to the topics at hand. Where do we fit in and fill in to personal training and how do we communicate with our fitness peers level to level.

Tomorrow- it is a bit of a toy box (seeeeeee workshop, santa, toy box……lots of silly wordplay) Prop Heavy; mat workshop at Century CIty from 2-4pm, presented by your truly. Highlighting the glory of light hand weights, bands and blocks (shhhhhh I know they’re supposed to be for yoga!) It’s a lot to cram in, but my kids are pretty smart, I think they can handle it.

Then on Saturday Carrie Macy will round out the fun with ‘Training in a Fitness Facility’ How to appropriately ‘phrase’ your worksouts to best connect your clients.

oooooooh the gift of learning. Tis the Season!

on my Christmas wishlist…..

1. anatomy of pilates books….i have anatomy books, i have pilates books but never the twain have met.

these are the two on amazon

Props on the Mat

I’m working on my workshop on props to enhance your mat experience….and came across this great, quick article. check it out Here!

CEClasses at Equinox SoCal - NEXT WEEK!

It’s the holiday season, and part of the scarcity in my blogs is that we are certinly trying to pack as much into this month in preperation for the new year as humanly possible.

Carrie Macy and I are facilitating, in total, 3 workshops next week! and by facilitating I mean writing and presenting.
Sunday December 13th at our Westwood location - “The Science of Pilates”
Tuesday December 15th at our Century City location - “Pimp Your Mat, Prop it Up”
Saturday December 19th at our South Bay location - “Teaching and Training in a Fitness Facility”

These are in house programs that are free to our instructors, however, if there is anyone interested in sitting in, email and ask me, there might be space!

We’re very excited to be opening up new points of topic and perspective in teh pilates community. Where and how do we truly fit in to a fitness environment with strong and educated clients? We’re exploring these questions and arming out instructors with more answers.
