Embody School of Pilates Teacher-Training Program is back in session and we'd like to welcome all our students back to Canmore. We were excited to host Anatomy in Three Dimensions, a fun and interactive way to learn human anatomy. It was the first time this course has visited Canada so we are proud to continue to pioneer and raise the bar in Pilates education.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as our students "move in" and make the studio their second home. If you are interested in becoming a "volunteer body" so our students can practice teach, please email Bonny-Lynn and let her know. We are creating a database of potential volunteers so when school is in session, our students have people they can call upon.

Inspiration of the Month: Patricia Lavelle!!!
|
 | | Patricia Lavelle "Flying" on the Tower |
A particularly poignant event happened for me at Pilates that highlights how powerful the process of learning is in Pilates if you stick with it. On this day, I was feeling old, less than able to do what was being asked and generally down. I was comparing myself with the "stars" in the class who appeared to be moving with ease and grace. A real recipe for a not so fun time. And it certainly is not the aim of Pilates to be competitive, but there I was comparing myself and coming up short.

Did you know your Pilates may be covered by your Health Insurance???
|
 We recently contacted our current group insurance plan, Custom Care, and asked them their policy on Pilates. We discovered some interesting facts. If the client has: - a detailed Doctor's note as to why Pilates is recommended and the benefits it would make to the individual. (Ex. For the treatment and maintenance of low back pain or recovery from on injury)
- received Private one-on-one sessions
- been taught by a Certified Pilates Professional
Then the claim is 100% Covered!!!! WOW! It's important to note that group mat and/or equipment classes are not considered under these guidelines. But it's certainly worth checking in with your Health Insurance Provider to see if you can be covered. We hope one day the medical community will appreciate the Preventive Health benefits of Pilates and then your classes could be considered too. How great would that be? |
Happy Mother's Day, this Sunday May 12th
|
 We are so fortunate to be surrounded by an AMAZING group of women, many who are Mothers, and we want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to our extended Embody Family.
Looking for a last minute gift idea? A visit to our boutique or the gift of Pilates may be the perfect way to say thanks for the countless things mom's do.
Embody Pilates Owner's Allan & Bonny-Lynn wish to send a Special Mother's Day wish to Elizabeth Russell. Many of you take classes with Liz and she's always keen on helping in the boutique. She's a big part of Embody Pilates Success and we couldn't do it without her.
We LOVE YOU LIZ!! THANK-YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Pilates Prop Week: May 20th-May 25th
|
Once a month, we like to utilize Pilates Props in our Mat classes. The Magic Circle and Foam roller are excellent tools to help open the body, increase our body awareness and deepen our connections. Due to their popularity, students asked to be notified ahead of time so they can load up on their mat classes that week. Mark it on your calendars, May 20th- May 25th and be prepared for the fun!
Be sure to reserve your space ahead of time.
