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:

1. Video Library Subscription (you can start right away!)
2. Group classes on Zoom (current classes are on Monday evenings & Wednesday mornings)
3. Book a private session (here are some options)

How many of these can raise the funds for? As you can see from the pic, every $100 we send in provides 700 meals this Thanksgiving. 

​Every person counts!
Please feel free to invite friends, family, workout buddies, or your social media community to join us. 

Tip: the easiest way to do that is to save and share the graphic below with all the info on it. 

'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)

Saturday October 24th has a lot to offer!
Foot Rolling 101 is from 1-2:30pm, then we have a Community Roll Out from 2:45-3:45pm.
(all via Zoom, links to recordings if you can't attend live)
Scroll down for more info and helpful links. 
Hope to “see” you there! 

Do your feet hurt? no matter what shoes you wear, or don’t wear?
Are your bunions looking worse?
Is your balance declining? Do you find yourself shuffling or tripping more often?
Does your Plantar Fasciitis keep flaring up?
Is your big toe really stiff?


Then this workshop is a perfect fit for you!

You will have access to a recording of the class for 1 week after it meets live so that you can focus on feeling and learning as we go, then review the information afterwards. 


This workshop is open to all levels of fitness and all bodies!
You can do the foot rolling seated.

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.

Zoom In, Bliss Out      6-7:00pm  Friday  7/31/2020

Let’s coax our bodies and minds into relaxation mode!  We will focus on connecting with our breath, calming our nervous system, and applying Fascial Stretch Therapy principles to get an awesome full body stretching experience. Breath work is especially important right now, COVID-19 affects the respiratory system. 

Props suggested (but not required, everything can be modified

•   Yoga or Pilates mat (you could use a beach towel instead)         
•   A coregeous ball, or something like it (click here for link)  You want it inflated just under half way, you might want your inflation straw nearby in case you want to adjust. 
• A yoga strap, or a long belt/tie/towel 
• A few towels of various sizes and maybe even a pillow if your neck and shoulders need some extra support. (we will be using them to prop us up, support us so we can relax even more deeply)

Set your vibe! Feel free to lean in to the woo. Here are a few things I suggest:
        1. Play some binaural beats or music that you find soothing & relaxing in the background. Loudly enough so you can hear it, but quietly enough that you can still hear me.
        2. Lighting- make it work for you. You want to be relaxed but not falling asleep.
        3. Scent- I love having essential oils in the diffuser. Some people prefer candles. Try to figure out what might enhance your ability to relax & release tension. Click here for more info. 
        4. Wear layers and have socks nearby. Your body temperature might shift as we go, and we don’t want you to get cold.
        5. Turn your phone off or put it on do not disturb.
