Tip of the Month

Welcome New Clients

Dear Clients...

April showers are bringing May flowers! Our studio is blooming with excitement this month! May begins with a visit from Level 1 Romana's Pilates instructor Cynthia Lochard, and finishes with a Continuing Education trip to Florida with Tina and Trina.

In between we will celebrate the apprentices becoming certified, will be actively seeking new clients (stay tuned for some incentives on your end!) and hopefully enjoy some beautiful weather.

We continue to build toward our 10 year anniversary, and I am excited about the studio with the addition of new teachers. Also this month we have joined Champaign Center Partnership which is sure to bring new opportunities and growth.

We will give you our official date for our 10 year anniversary party in the next newsletter. We want to honor our clients throughout our 10 years and celebrate the community DPC has become!

Best,

Janice

May Featured Clients

Meet three of our clients and hear in their own words how Pilates has changed their lives over the past 10 years!


Barb Geissler I was working with Janice before the studio opened, and started at the studio when it opened. I wanted to improve my riding and overall flexibility and strength. Janice's passion about Pilates is infective so that was a big part of the decision to pursue it. Pilates has helped me have a better sense of my physical being - how to move different parts of my body independently. It has definitely helped in my riding. I think my aids are more effective now.	Monica Miller I began lessons with Janice in 2003. I also took lessons from some of her first crop of apprentices at the studio. I was encouraged by Janice and Barb Geissler to take lessons. It was one of my first steps in living a healthier lifestyle. Pilates has helped my overall body awareness, both strengths and weaknesses. It has been my support base through various other exercise phases (kettlebells, crossfit) and assisted me in recovery from several injuries.	Gina Walls Pilates has, quite simply, transformed my body. I am leaner, stronger, and more aware of movement. For this, I owe a debt of gratitude to Janice and her able associates at Dulak Pilates Center. Janice has honed her observation skills over the years and has an uncanny ability to figure out just what my body needs. She is also able to gently push me to do the work correctly lesson after lesson. I began working with Janice well over ten years ago when she was first at the Mettler Center. I wanted to learn about Pilates with the hope that it would help me strengthen my core and alleviate my recurrent lower back pain. Little did I know then that it would also improve my ability to ride my horse effectively as well! As an academic who likes analysis... I am too often "in my head" when I ride. Through Pilates, Janice has taught me to be "in my body" and move with more ease and fluidity. This has not only translated to better horseback riding, it has also allowed my aging body to resist some of those deleterious effects of aging! I plan to continue my Pilates practice as long as I can move... it is the closest thing to a fountain of youth that I've found.

Tip of the Month...from Sarah Walsh

With summer right around the corner, schedules get filled up with family, vacations, and fun in the sun. As a result, you may not be able to be as consistent in your lessons as you'd like. So, take Pilates with you this summer! Over the next few weeks, ask your instructor to help you come up with a "Mini Mat", 3-5 exercises that you can do anytime, anywhere, just for you! Just don't forget to pull in your stomach!

Welcome to our new clients in April!
