View DetailsPilates MN strives to be the most knowledgeable educators to take care of health issues in a Pilates setting. Pam and Shawn have received some advanced training from Polestar Pilates ( See below for Polestar Teacher Training) studio in Miami on working with clients with neurological issues. They have used this information to help clients with Parkinson in a pilot program for the past couple of months at our studio. The Parkinson clients love the program because it has help with their range of motion, unilateral/bilateral strength training, balance, and concentration. As a result, Pilates has helped them improve their quality of life. So many have commented on benefits they have received thus far that we have decided to add another class for them.

100% of proceeds will go to support Rhondi Miller in her fight against cancer. Rhondi is a 46 year old, dear friend and fellow Pilates instructor who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer on Feb 10, 2012. After undergoing a lumpectomy in February, Rhondi had to return the next day for an emergency additional surgery to remove a severe hematoma. Genetic testing revealed that she has the BRCA gene for not only breast cancer but ovarian as well. It was highly suggested she have both double mastectomy and complete hysterectomy. She successfully completed the surgeries a few weeks ago. Rhondi is in recovery now and everything went well. Our charity class will raise money for financial support for Rhondi for her out of pocket expenses while she can't work and is in recovery.
Please invite friends to join - with a $20 (cash or check) donation recommended. Limited to 15 students. All levels welcome.
