Who loves to learn new things? (me, me me!!!)

One of the things I love about my own Pilates practice is that I’m always learning.  I’m learning how to move better in my body, I’m learning to listen to my body, I learning about the anatomy of how my body works and how I can use that knowledge to feel and move better, I’m learning to use alignment to help my body function better and I’m learning why various movements are so good for me.  I think it just motivates me to keep moving, playing and progressing in my Pilates practice and in life….the more I know.  I often get similar feedback from clients at the studio and I truly believe this “education” part of moving is what makes Pilates, Yoga and any movement in your life much more than just a workout.

As a studio we decided that we wanted to be able to keep this learning and educating portion of your exercise sessions front and center so that you too would be more motivated to stick with it, more motivated to learn how to do the exercises best in your body and keep excited about your movement practice.  So we’ve planned out a whole year of learning for you!  Each month we’ll have a different topic or idea that is relevant to movement that we’ll be exploring.  We’ll blog about the topic so if you love to learn by reading…you can get some extra knowledge and then your movement teachers will tie in the value of each topic into your class times and session times at the studio.

This August, the first month, we are going to be exploring breath.  Breath is an integral part of any mind body movement practice and we’re going to be exploring why!  We’ll look at how we breath and the muscle activation, we’ll explore how breathing helps us move better, and we’ll give you practical tips on how you can improve your breathing in the studio and in your daily life.  We’re pretty excited about getting the chance to explore breath and other movement ideas in more depth and we hope you are too!!  Get ready to learn, play, and be inspired to do more in your body!!
