Happy to be home finishing my non stop day. My day started with an amazing Pilates class with 40 people, many of them new to my class. When I first got trained in Pilates, I did not love it, Yoga was so complete for me, I did not teach it for a long time. In order to maintain my certifications, I have to get continuing education, so Pilates was just that, nothing more. Different times in our lives bring attention and focus to something that has really had an effect. When I first moved to Los Angeles in 2000, I found Body Pump, it is a low weight, high repetition full body workout, that completely sculpted my body. It was fun, great music, easy to follow, but very thorough about form and alignment, I started teaching it a few times a week and got into the best shape of my life, I was 28. After having three babies in a row, core is that focus that I cannot get enough of. I have developed a mind, body, and breath connection, that gets everyone zoned into themselves, really getting it, really feeling it. There is no music, our breath becomes our music, and it is so nice to step off of our overstimulated electronic world for an hour.
I love how people "get it," how they enjoy the mind and body focus, how I bring Yoga, Martial Arts, and Dance into the philosophy. I love when one of my students told me it is about the "fundamentals," what a perfect word to describe Pilates, Core, and Posture.
After that beautiful energy exchange, I met a wonderful private client, and then headed off to PE, where I am enjoying the energy of the girls, and learning so much about girls of all ages, it also makes me think of parenting and what kids need. I just ran across an amazing article, which seems like it is not only for parents, but for human interaction everywhere in the world,

I finished my night with a wonderful group class, and taking my mother in law to see www.rolandhealinghands.com, he just had a birthday and is leaving town for a month, so it was nice to squeeze each other in. My mother in law was so grateful, and I was happy to make time for her to feel good.
The first thing I did today after dropping the kids off in school is have my Arasys session for my abdominals, excited to finish my series, and with everything else that I am doing, getting my body feeling and looking healthier than ever.
