Acupuncture and Pilates


Some people love school and structured learning, I am not that into school, luckily for everything that I do it is more of a certification structure plus always training available to specialize in a specific area.  I do love to keep learning, and my philosophy is that is there no one way to do anything and everyone has to find the combination that works for them.  I do love that there are so many different ways to do things such as exercise and nutrition, and all the different cultures and philosophies can help each person pick and choose the best fit.

I recently had the amazing gift of a free acupuncture session from Berlin Wellness Village, they were acknowledging the work that Doula's do and giving a wonderful free gift.  I also had a choice of massage, facial, and reflexology but chose acupuncture because I feel like my body needs a reset, and I learned a few valuable new things.  I will do my best to explain it as good as he did, but bottom line is our body needs a balance of hot and cold, and when he asked me how I eat, I said shake, salad, fruit, and all that is cold.  He said what my body is missing is soup, tea, greens, and I love all that stuff.  I started noticing that most people do eat healthy, but especially in our American culture it is mostly cold.  Also after eating a cup of tea helps digestion, and in my Russian culture that is just how they do it, also in China, England, India, Iran and I am sure there are many more.  It made me think about coffee too, its not just the caffeine, it is because it is hot that it helps digestion.


I am excited to keep learning more about Pilates, and the main theme is centering, I am learning from an amazing instructor that focuses on classic Pilates, and I have already incorporated it into my classes, and for myself it really makes a difference when doing the exercises.

Keep Learning,
Keep Growing,
Take Time For YOU,
It's not Selfish, it is Self Care,
Listen to all the advice,
Then decide what is best for you,
Coach Yulia
