1/29/2021 How's it going?We made it to the end of January!!!!! How are those resolutions or goals coming along? Need a little help or some new ideas? I’ve got a few options for you:
 10/2/2020 October Update Happy Fall, y’all!
Here’s the current info for online Zoom group classes, workshops, and a new community event this month. I’d love to “see” you at all of them! I’ll be doing some more detailed posts and share more info in the newsletter, but if you have any questions in the meantime please don’t hesitate to connect with me. 4/9/2020 0 Comments Group Classes Via Zoom I received an email from the City of Tempe where they notified us that all events and classes are officially canceled until the end of May. (at the very least) In the meantime, why not try group class with me via Zoom? Current Zoom Class Offerings as of 5/27/20 Mondays 6-7pm Mixed Level Pilates & Stretch For full class descriptions or to register: bit.ly/pps-classes Info Current as of 5/27/2020 (I’ll keep adding the dates for new info as things are changing quite frequently and rapidly for all of us) Exercise and healthy movement are even more critical during these turbulent times. It boosts your immune system and helps manage stress on many levels. Click here for a great article from the Mayo. Since our world and our lives are in a very fluid and adaptive state, I have tried to create some workable options for maintaining a movement or self-care practice with me. I truly hope we can all stay safe, healthy, and agile during this time. If you have any specific requests, suggestions, or need any more information- please feel free to contact me. Are you missing your usual dose of healthy, feel good movement? Do you miss connecting, talking, and moving with another human being? (I’m definitely missing interacting with everyone I don’t get to see right now) Are you having a hard time figuring out how to incorporate the movement or stretching you need & want into your current disrupted schedule? Are you adapting to a new working station or set up at home and noticing that it may be creating some new challenges and postural imbalances? I’m here to help! We can use FaceTime or Zoom for private sessions. You can even record our session for future reference and use. I’ve created some new options in terms of length of sessions, scheduling, payment etc. for you to try. Please scroll down for details. What is FaceTime? Facetime is an app on apple products for video chatting. If you have any apple device, it is on there! Click here to check out a tutorial from apple on how to use FaceTime. What is Zoom? Zoom is a video conferencing app/website that you can use at a basic level free of charge. Click here to check it out and see how easy it is to join a meeting. Feeling unsure about using the technology? Connect with me and let's see if we can figure it out. Just like a lot of like skills, using these resources or tools can feel way more comfortable after you walk through it or try it a few times. What can you do in a Session? For my Fst clients:
For my Pilates peeps:
Why invest in private sessions?
Here’s a testimonial from a client who has tried using a virtual approach: “I was in a serious car accident (5 broken ribs, whiplash, back pain, seatbelt trauma) in the Fall of 2019. After my hospital stay, I was home and knew that I needed to begin moving in healthy ways or risk further injury and certainly delay my recovery. I had been a client of Pippa’s for several years and knew she was conservative and uniquely talented in understanding injury rehab and body mechanics. So after a phone call, we set up a remote session where I used my iPad. She modeled for me the exercises I should do and then corrected me as I performed those for her. I repeated those exercises daily which helped speed my recovery. This was certainly important for my broken body, but just as important, Pippa’s video session helped me in my mental recovery! Instead of focusing on my pain and getting discouraged, Pippa gave me positive movements to focus on while I was home alone - and the confidence that I would get better!” The Details: 60 mins $74 Scheduling: Please contact me directly to schedule sessions. Feel like you can’t book in advance? No problem, feel free to text me (602-614-0675) as close as the day before or morning of to request a session. (texting is better than emailing) As usual, I will have more options to offer with more notice but I truly understand how crazy everything is right now! How it Works: Once we schedule a session, you’ll receive an email confirmation and an invoice via square. You can pay securely online in advance. I will initiate the facetime call or we both log in to our zoom meeting at our scheduled day & time. What you need: What do you have at your disposal? It’s ideal for you to let me know what you have ahead of time, but it’s ok to let me know at the beginning of the session. I can also make some suggestions of household items that we can get creative with. This can be done in a chair, on the floor, standing, at your desk- whatever you need! The only requirements are a device that allows you to connect to zoom or facetime and an internet connection. Have some questions? Click here to contact me directly. I'm happy to connect and figure out how to make this work as optimally as possible for you. One More Thing... Here’s a link that explains why and how Pilates boosts the Immune System.

It was sudden & swift, but I was there with him. He was such a wonderful presence in my life and taught me so much about unconditional love, living fully in the moment, & pure joy in the simple things. Here is a picture of him expertly demonstrating pandiculation, which I highly encourage you to try right now! Click here for a great article on it.  Classes at Kiwanis Recreation Center

One of my favorite experts just did a 2 part interview about fascia. It is very interesting- she covers a lot of ground and answers some very common questions in a clear, palatable manner. Here are the Links: Part 1 http://www.jasonyoga.com/podcast/episode89/ Part 2 http://www.jasonyoga.com/tag/jill-miller/ Enjoy! 3/9/2018 0 Comments Warming Up as a Daily PracticeWe all know that warming up is a good idea before we engage in any big activity.
Have you ever considered adding in a quick warm up in the morning to prepare your body and mind for everyday life? Connecting to your body while moving and breathing with intention are powerful tools that can set you up for a successful, pain-free day. You don't have to have any fancy equipment or even do the same exact exercises every day to reap the benefits. I get feedback from many clients that they feel stiff or are in pain when they first get out of bed. I invariably as them if they are doing some specific movements (that they already know) to get their body moving, increase circulation, and ease any pain. The answer is usually no for a variety of reasons. The underlying issue is often that they aren't aware of their control of the situation. They aren't accessing the tools they posses to feel better and/or haven't made the conscious choice to use them. I recently went through a quick warm up sequence with a client who came in feeling terrible, uncomfortable, and frustrated with her body. We focused on breathing deeply, engaging her core, and included 3 or 4 really simple movements in a quadruped position. She was amazed at how much better she felt. She was even more amazed that she already knew all these movements and could have done them as soon as she started to feel stiff & achy. I didn't want her to memorize the sequence we did, I encouraged her to try to remember that she has skills and could use them as needed. Now I'm not saying that a short warm up will fix or heal everything, but I can safely say that it will help you to feel better (on many levels.) Try it and see! Not sure where to start or what to include in your warm up? - come join us at Kiwanis for a group class (click here) - book a private mat lesson with me (click here) - check out my You Tube Channel (click here) - buy a video (click here) Happy Practicing! 2/23/2018 0 Comments Make Your Feet Happy!Our feet don't often get the love and attention they need. Try these 2 videos back to back, they are a powerful combo and a treat for your feet! Want to learn more?
A pinky ball works fine, but if you want to delve deeper I suggest getting a set of yoga tune up balls. Jill Miller also has some excellent videos for purchase. (click here) Rather learn in person? Schedule a mat pilates session with me and we can create a personalized program. You can even video the sequence as we do it on your phone so that you can practice with visual aid and my cueing.
