You're Invited!
Client Appreciation Christmas Party Friday, Dec. 6th
|
 | | Christmas at the Studio |
We are so thankful for your support over the past year, that we want to host a Christmas party to appreciate you.
On Friday, December 6th from 6-10pm, our boutique will be open for a Moonlight Madness to help find the perfect gift for the active person on your list. All regular priced items and Pilates session packages (5, 10 card, monthly unlimited) will be 15% off *. There is no limit on purchase so it's a nice time to stock up on Pilates for 2014.
From 7-9pm, join us upstairs in the studio for a glass of wine and refreshments. Our students have become an extended family so it will be nice to chat and catch up in a social festive manner. We'll have some fun interactive stations that you can participate in and enter for your chance to win $150 in EMBODY BUCKS!
Please RSVP here if you like to attend. Everyone is welcome so we encourage you to bring your family and friends. Embody Pilates will provide wine and beverages. For those of you who love to help out, you're welcome to bring an appetizer or treat for our refreshment table. :)

Food Bank Drive December 1st - 16th.
|
 Help us support families in need this Christmas. We are asking for non-perishable food items to be brought to the studio and put under the tree. Bonny-Lynn's parents have both passed away and this tree was her mother Renee's special tree. Let's pay tribute to her generous spirit and fill the bottom of the tree with lots of donations. Collection will be from Dec 1st - Dec 16th. Thank-you in advance for your generous Christmas spirit.

Inspiration of the Month: Silvia Desmond!
|
 | | Silvia performing Flying Prep on the Tower |
I started my Pilates Quest 1 1/2 years ago when the Womens Group I belong to had an introduction to Pilates at Embody on Main Street before the studio opened. I was very intrigued with the whole concept of Pilates and how cool the machines looked and how knowledgeable and passionate Bonny Lynn is towards Classical Pilates and Joe Pilates. First I started with Mat Classes 3 times a week and took a private class which gave me the opportunity see how the machines worked and felt for me. Being a Massage Therapist and avid road rider, swimmer and runner I saw how beneficial Pilates is for the body. I've even been taking pieces from the mat class and passing onto my clients for home care for specific muscles. In less than 6 classes I no longer had pain when I was running due to tight hamstrings and hips. My running became more pleasurable than "OMG here we go again with sore tight hamstrings after a run". Seriously, who really stretches after running or doing any aerobic activity? After a run I would take a Pilates Mat class, and all my stretching and toning could be done in 55 minutes! Plus it is doing something just for myself, mind and body. Continue reading Silvia's story

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. :)
