| Fall Back into the Swing of Things! |
|
Greetings!
Hard to believe that it is September already. What a summer we had! Hot, hot weather and sunny days made up the most of July and August. No doubt there will be more fair weather days to follow in September. Though honestly, it is really nice to feel the cool, crisp evening air these past nights. Refreshing and time to think about wardrobe changes, back to school, back to schedules, and back to being able to sleep at night in comfort!
Many of you took the summer off your regular routines with vacations, kids home from school, weddings, babies, and a variety of other events. No doubt you are feeling a bit like me, and looking forward to having a routine in your life again. The dog days of summer are wonderful while they last, but sometimes getting back to routine is just what our bodies and minds need.
You will see that the schedule is posted until the end of December with a few changes from last year. We've added classes to the schedule, changed a few times, and have tried to make it better than ever! Be sure to register for your favourite classes ASAP as many of them are filling up well into the fall. With me, Carol and Kelly all teaching, you have lots of options for days, times, and teacher personality! Hooray!
There have been some changes to pricing as well and those are listed on the side of the newsletter. Due to increasing expenses for Precision Pilates such as rent and utilities, it was unavoidable. I have tried to make them as pleasant as possible and only increased group classes this time and have left the private lesson pricing the same.
The second installment of the Pilates30 program is set to begin on September 29th. The information on that is below. If you missed out on it in the spring, now is your chance! It is a fabulous program that has changed and inspired many including us teachers!!
Carol, Kelly and I have been on numerous training trips this summer. I outline those below. This summer has left Precision Pilates as the most highly certified Authentic Pilates studio in... wait for it... Canada! Wow! Way to go girls!!!!
Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook! Links below!
Sincerely,

Fall 2012 Pilates30 Starts September 29th!
The Pilates30 Program last spring was a HUGE success. All participants gained exceptional results including a few of them being 1/4 of an inch taller than when they started! Great, right?! The second Pilates30 event at Precision Pilates will begin on September 29th, 2012. Space is limited so register now by contacting Cara or Carol at Precision Pilates! There will be NO weigh-in or measurements. At Precision Pilates we believe that it is not about the 'shape' of your body, but rather the shape that your body is in. The only thing we will do is measure your height, and take photos of your posture. What is involved? 30 classes in 10 weeks! What an awesome task! At nearly 4 classes per week, this is exactly what your body needs to get ready for the Holiday Season! The group will meet several times over the course of the 10 weeks for the following information sessions: Dr. Kerri Dow, ND, (Naturopathic Doctor) from Fredericton Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Centre will be meeting with us to discuss proper nutrition and overall well being. www.doctordow.ca 
Dr. Kelly Vanslyke and Dr. Jason Fortier from Fredericton Family Chiropractic: A Creating Wellness Centre will be meeting with the group to talk about exercise, our body, its Central Nervous System and how it is crucial to the health of our organs, muscles, and immune system. 472.7000 Massage Therapist Julie Piercey from Body Renewal Health Centre will discussing the benefits of massage, and to treat you all to a mini massage after the session! 459.2639 (BODY) |

Travelling for Training to Bring you the BEST Authentic Pilates!

Some of the most exciting things for Pilates teachers to do are to go to workshops and take lessons with exceptional, more experienced teachers.
Since May of this year all three of the Precision Pilates teachers have been working hard (and admittedly also playing hard) on their personal practice, studies, and certifications.
Carol and Kelly have traveled to Boston four times to further their training to include the level 2 and level 3 Peak Pilates Professional Comprehensive Certifications to their resume. Working with second generation teacher Clare Dunphy and others including Sonia Rodriquez and Pam Garcia.
Cara has been to New York City three times since June and has taken many lessons and workshops with second generation teachers including Kathi Ross-Nash, Brooke Siler, Peter Fiasca, Dana Santi, Carey Regan, and Dan Agren. In a few short months even her body has continued to change and become stronger, longer, and more graceful.
At one particular event that Cara attended that was a group study type of weekend there were more than 10 second generation teachers in attendance. If you recall an article in a previous newsletter, Authentic Pilates teachers are distinguished based on their lineage from Joe himself. There are only a few first generation (those who studied directly with Joseph Pilates) teachers remaining, so the second generation are our greatest resource.
It is a great honour to spend time with these incredibly gifted teachers. The learning that takes place during an event like this is inspiring. Each of the teachers has personal stories to tell from the days back at Romana's studio. Ranging from humorous to serious, the stories shed light into what it would have been like to train with Joseph Pilates himself. Learning exercise variations, watching and learning to do the super advanced work, delving into the basics of the method more deeply, working-out side by side with the best in the world, and seeing how the personalities of each of these teachers is brought forward into the method is priceless.
There is no doubt that Cara, Carol and Kelly are more well rounded, insightful teachers and have more to share with you now then just a few months ago. You thought they were pretty great then, right? Well... see you in studio!!!!!
