Embody Pilates is Grateful to be Open
|
It's been an intense few days here in Canmore. I appreciate everyone's emails and concerns during this time. I am pleased to report that both our home and businesses, boutique and studio, were spared during the flood. To the best of our knowledge, everyone in our extended "Embody Family" are safe. One of our boutique team member, Letti, lost her entire backyard but thankfully her home is still standing and safe to return to. My husband, Allan, has been working around the clock with the Canmore Fire Rescue doing a phenomenal job. There is extensive damage but I am so amazed at the community's spirit and willingness to help. I have never been more proud to live in Canmore and we will rebuild and bounce back once more.

What drew my attention to "Embody Pilates" was the equipment. It looked like so much fun. Playground equipment for adults!! Little did I know that I was embarking on a journey of discovery about my mind and body.

Recap from the PMA Teacher-training Summit in Miami June 5-9th, 2013
|
We attended the Pilates Method Alliance Teacher-Training Summit in Miami. There were 94 Pilates schools represented from all over the world and we were the only Canadian School in Attendance.
It was an informative meeting....think of it as a Council meeting for Pilates schools and the goals was to set a standard for our industry moving forward into the future. Here are some fun stats:
- Embody School of Pilates is considered in the top 5% of Schools worldwide in terms of syllabus and course requirements
- Of the 94 schools represented, only 7 have been licensed through their state's Private Vocational training act. Our application has already been submitted....once approved, we'll be #8. Very cool.
By the way, we went a day early and visited Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. It was AWESOME! :) |
