,
Nominate a Cancer Survivor and give them the gift of strength, inspiration, empowerment and encouragement… 


One of my passions as a movement teacher is helping people use movement to improve the quality of their life.  I truly believe that whatever is going on in your physical body, movement can be used as a tool to help you feel better in your body.  I’m so excited to be part of the nonprofit organization called Core Compassion.

Core Compassion Project is a non­profit organization dedicated to offering Pilates scholarships to cancer patients in order to reduce the side effects of cancer treatment. Specialized Pilates fitness training helps to restore physical strength and mental well­ being.

Send us an email to learn more or if you need any help with the application process!!
P.S.  This is an ongoing program and scholarships can be applied for at any time! 

Rivercity Pilates announces the winner of the Pink Ribbon Starter Package Giveaway!!

,

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Rivercity Pilates sponsored a giveaway to honor one inspiring Breast Cancer survivor with the chance to experience our Pink Ribbon Program!  PRLogo_color

 This year’s winner is breast cancer survivor Pam Pump!   Pam sent us a heartfelt email sharing her breast cancer story and talking about her road to wellness.  Like many breast cancer survivors she is doing her best to be as positive as possible and do everything she can to stay healthy.

Pam stated in her letter, “After all my treatments and surgeries were done, I wanted to THRIVE not just SURVIVE.”

She’s tried working with a personal trainer and other workout classes, but has found that she is not seeing results such when it comes to regaining her strength and flexibility.

Pam is not alone in her struggle as a breast cancer survivor to find a fitness program.

Most fitness programs do not address specific issues that these cancer survivors face.  Often times trainers and instructors just don’t have experience working with the specific medical limitations that these women face and so they have them trying to do things that their bodies are not quite ready for.  Instead of strengthening and balancing their bodies, they end up either hurting themselves or feeling defeated because their bodies can’t do what is being asked of them.

The Pink Ribbon Program is designed to help these survivors improve strength, flexibility and balance in their body in a way that leaves them feeling empowered, inspired and ready to take on life!

Our Pink Ribbon Starter Package is a month-long program. It includes two private sessions weekly (eight sessions total), with Pink Ribbon Certified Instructor Carey Sadler.  This package is designed for cancer survivors who are looking to explore the Pilates method of exercise as a way of strengthening their body, mind, and spirit.

Some of the wonderful benefits of Pilates for cancer survivors:

  • Helps regain strength and mobility in all your joints and muscles

  • Enhances energy levels

  • Improves self confidence and control

  • Reduces feelings of depression

  • Decreases stress and tension

  • Enhances physical and mental well-being
