this week's workout

It's always a mystery at the beginning of the week deciding just exactly which exercises I want to focus on. There are so many exercises, and so many variations. Sometimes it just flows. And sometimes, like today, I am stuck.

My objective: target all the major areas of the body, incorporate a variety of types of movement{ie: stretching & strengthing, flexion & extension, rotation}, use a new selection of exercises so my clients don't get bored, and create fluid transitions so the class makes sense and feels right.

Real Pilates

I, personally, can't live without Pilates. Judy from Edmund, Oklahoma can't either...

As a Realtor in this rugged economy, I’ve had to eliminate a lot of things from my life - like having my nails done, eating out and having my house cleaned just to name a few. But, there’s one thing I absolutely won’t give up and that’s my Pilates classes!


With my husband, Bill, being retired, with us losing over 40% of our 401K last year, and working in a real estate market that was down 15% from the previous year, we had to make some changes. However, the one constant in my life that I want to and need to continue is Pilates.

well done mr. forseyth



The first time I saw this was by Ballet West, I was in highschool. I loved it immediately because it was something different, without vearing too far away from all the things I loved about ballet.

This piece is absolutely brilliant. And oh yeah, Sylvie Guillem is pretty awesome too.

from larry shultz

"Yoga strengthens and purifies the nervous system so it can reflect a greater degree of consciousness and our lives can be an increasingly positive force in the world."
