Inspiration of the Month: Deb Barnes!

My journey to fun and fitness on the Pilates Trail
By Deb Barnes - September 2013
Q - Why I started Pilates?
My husband and I had been oil multinational nomads for about 15 years - travelling and living all over the world in places like the Middle East and Far East Russia, as well as Europe. We took the opportunity to visit many other places, including safaris in Africa, trekking in the Himalayas and white water rafting in Nepal and down the Zambezi.
We had such adventures, saw and did amazing things, then...... suddenly we retired and life changed. We had visited Canada on a number of occasions and some years earlier had bought a condo in Canmore. It was an obvious choice, because I have an absolute love of hiking and where better to do it than the Rockies!
We headed to Canmore for six months for our Rockies adventure. So we arrived and started to try and figure out how we were going to make it in a new town and new country. I was nearly 62, a fragile back and neck but looking forward to the mountains. Walking down the high street I saw a Pilates sign. I met Bonny-Lynn, and she was convinced that Pilates would increase my muscle tone, make me nice and supple and teach me how to breath, which would help with walking up mountains to higher elevations, and generally make hiking even more of a pleasure. She was such an open, friendly person, that I felt I would like to try it.
So I signed up for my first session with Bonny-Lynn the next day, and my love affair with Pilates began.

Wonderful Workshop Weekend with 2nd Generation Master Teacher Kim Haroche
| We were so fortunate to host 2nd Generation Master Teacher Kim Haroche at our studio Aug 23-25th. Kim taught private sessions, master class for trainees, community mat class, and presented 2 workshops: the magic of springs and the early of work of Kathy Grant. We learned SO MUCH during this weekend and you can expect all teachers to incorporate this new knowledge into classes. Kim was also impressed with the quality of everyone's Pilates practice. Her one constructive comment, "You all are working too hard!! Stop trying to do Pilates and let Pilates do you!" Here's to finding more depth in our practice this fall. :)
