Greetings!
June is a busy month for everyone and we have lots of classes and sessions times to work into your busy schedule. First, if you or anyone you know has been interested in delving deeper into the Pilates Method, we start our next training June 4th with a Power Pilates Beginner Mat training weekend. It's a great weekend and it's open to everyone! Next, we're offering a free workshop to introduce you to Feldenkrais on June 26th(see below). And then in between we have lots of classes and sessions available for you. We have some teachers who will be on vacation in the next few weeks (me in July!) and great teachers who will be subbing in for the classes. Let us know if you need a time that we don't have a class scheduled and we'll put the time on a wish list. Meantime try a private session with a certified instructor or apprentice. Don't forget your core while you are busy getting ready for the summer! Swimsuit season is here!! |

| Introduction to the Feldenkrais Method | |
Free Workshop: Saturday, June 26 at 1:30 PM - 3 PM
FELDENKRAIS METHOD® Come to Purely Pilates to learn about the The Feldenkrais Method in a free workshop taught by Futaba Ofuka. This movement style is an organic way to improve our coordination skills by enhancing our body awareness. Attending to what we are sensing and feeling while our body is going through organized movements has strong influence in our ability to notice our subconscious habits and preferences. This recognition of habits and preferences makes change and self-correction possible and easy. It further leads us to new options and higher organization where muscles have to work less to be more active and dynamic.
The founder of the method, Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, designed over 1,000 different movement sequences to accelerate this learning process. In Feldenkrais lessons, learning happens in conscious and subconscious levels. Some students notice a substantial change in their sensation and visual appearance immediately while others may sense more subtle and gradual changes.
"If you know what you are doing, you can do what you want." - Moshe Feldenkrais
