Inspiration of the Month: Tony Desmond!
|
 | | Tony performing Front Split on the Reformer |
I work in the film and television business between six to eight months a year. The busy schedule and long hours (sometimes up to 14 hours a day) sometimes make it impossible to fit in a healthy lifestyle, and very difficult to find time for structured exercise. But now that I'm on hiatus, I've been coming to Pilates up to six days a week for the last couple of months. In this short time, I can't believe the changes to my body. I've lost a lot of weight and many inches, although I think "lost" is probably not the right word, because I'm not planning on finding it again! At first I thought Pilates was just another form of yoga. I couldn't have been more wrong. Although Pilates does incorporate a few aspects of yoga, I was to learn that it also embodies disciplines used in dance, aerobics, and gymnastics. Not to disparage yoga, I find that a Pilates mat class is much more engaging. The instructor is there to help and inform, not just to lead the group through a set of poses and positions that you've already done a hundred times. And I like the fact that the class sizes are smaller, and you're not crammed into a room with thirty other people. Continue reading Tony's story

Featured Product: Toe Sox
| We all know how important Foot health and function is to our Pilates practice. Did you know we have some products that can help?
Toe Sox are great way to help spread the toes, improve flexibility and circulation in the feet, and aid in balance. If you find you're slipping on the Reformer or Wunda chair when your feet sweat, toe sox can give you the added grip you need.
We just received a huge shipment of Toe sox with a wide selection of sizes and colours. There are also super cute Christmas gift packs that will be sure to make someone smile on Christmas morning. Stop by today.

Great News in regards to our Alberta Private Vocational Training Application
| Many of you are aware that we are in the process of making our Embody School of Pilates a Provincially Licensed Private Vocational School. Turns out, we are the first Canadian Pilates School to apply for this standard. The great news is, we began our application process over 9 months ago, and we have been APPROVED for licensing! YES!!!
It's not official yet as there is still binders and binders full of paperwork and administration to complete but we've passed the initial difficult part of the application. Now we are in the process of competing the actual licensing documents. We'll keep you posted but this is wonderful news.
BIG Thanks to those of you who wrote letters of support and recommendation on our behalf for our initial application. This wouldn't be possible without you. :)

Let's make the Studio Scent Free
|
 We've had some heartfelt requests from some asthmatic clients who have had allergic reactions and attacks from being around other students who were innocently wearing scented body lotion, perfume or cologne. In respect of everyone's enjoyment and health, please refrain from wearing any scented products to the studio. Also, some deep hydrating body lotions can leave an oily residue on the Pilates Mats and equipment. Please apply full body lotion after class to prevent damage to mats and equipment. Thank-you for everyone's cooperation and understanding. Let's keep the studio a thriving place for all.
