We exhibited at the Boomer & Beyond Lifestyle event Saturday. One of my instructors, Hannah, invited that morning's Mat Classes to join us, and three of them did. Kathleen, a retired nurse, acted like we'd put her to work. She grabbed people as they walked by, and even sat this lady down and gave her the full Pilates pitch. She spent at least 10 minutes telling her about the core work, shoulders, alignment, weight loss, strength, healthy feeling...without any help from us.Gail brought her sister, who was brave enough to try the High Chair. She did well with Pumping, but struggled with Going Up Front. I asked Gail if she'd like to demonstrate how it's done. She was apprehensive, but Saturday she made it look easy. She was beaming as she stepped off.
My theme for September: L-E-N-G-T-H-E-N. Focusing on it for a month has made a huge difference for most clients and many have found they're working more muscles more deeply, resulting in harder work outs, and a better understanding of how their bodies work. Last week, Jean gave me a new picture for the studio. And that's why it's Any Body's Pilates -- because we believe in fitness for ANY body, no matter age, level or experience.
