Inspiration of the Month: Tanya Larsen!!!

My Pilates Experience: by Tanya Larsen
About two years ago, my chiropractor suggested that I try Pilates to help improve my posture. I've struggled with back pain ever since I was in a serious car accident over 25 years ago. In addition, I am a passionate dressage rider and have experienced back pain after my rides on my dressage horse.

IBEX Clothing: Merino Wool's finest now at Embody Activewear
|
 | | Ibex: A Labor of Love |
We are pleased to be carrying the IBEX Clothing line. This merino wool line is a far cry from the itchy wool garments your Grandma used to wear. This ultra-soft, amazingly comfortable fabric is both natural and high-performance. Here are some of the benefits of this incredible line:
- Temperature Control:T merino wool draws moisture away from the skin and evaporate it, regulating body temperature in all conditions
- Ultra Soft: made from very small micron diameter fibers
- Machine Washable: fights off weather, dirt, stain resistance and easy to wash and keep clean
- Stays Fresh: naturally antimicrobial properties keeps your garment odor-free.
- Sustainable: Natural renewable fiber is good for both you and for the Earth
- Non-Flammable: heat resistant, that won't hold a flame and it won't melt or like synthetic fibers
We carry Ibex garments from bras, base layers, tops, bottoms and layering pieces. You have to try it to believe it.

Students enrolled in our Embody School of Pilates Teacher-Training Program will get a special treat April 26-28th.

Would you be interested in attending an Anatomy in Three Dimensions workshop?? If so, let us know as we are looking into hosting future workshop dates open to EVERYONE.
