'An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.' [ Benjamin Franklin ] Let's prevent those falls, rather than spend a lot of time fearing and recovering from them! This month, in Pilates for Active Aging, we will be really focused on fall prevention. It will still be the same challenging hour full of Pilates-based breathing, full body movement, and fun! We will add in some extra attention to: *how we feel and stand on our feet *how we use our gaze or eye focus to help as well as challenge our balance *vary the tempo and pace of our movements to improve our reaction time This class is safe and challenging for all levels of fitness and skill, including those with osteoporosis. (senior discount available for those 60 or over, please contact Pippa for details)  Classes start on Monday January 6, 2020

Click here to contact me directly  I'm reading a fantastic book by Katy Bowman, and I wanted to share it with you all. Who doesn't want to age dynamically and gracefully, right? You can get the book on amazon, and here's a podcast where she covers the topic. I find her writing to be very clear, insightful, and easy to apply. I hope you do too! If you ever want to discuss, come find me after class or in your next lesson. or click here :)   I recently read this article through the NPR app on my phone. The overall takeaway is that the risk is still safer than being sedentary. I totally agree! However, while I think it is awesome that they are doing the research and finding the correlations between who is likely to get a fracture and how it may impact their lives…… I completely disagree with their advice. “recognize the limits of your strength, he advises, and maybe work on training the dog not to pull on the leash.” What????? I mean, yes- train your dog, but recognize the limits of your strength? How about any or all of the following: - improve your balance - focus on fall prevention - roll out your feet and do some exercises to improve awareness in your feet - learn how to safely increase strength and mobility I could go on and on, but you get the drift. Balance is a skill. It gets better with practice. You can improve your bone density, strength, and gait. How? Pilates! Want to know more?
