Dear Guest, Our studio continues to garner recognition as the area's premier location for Pilates and Yoga. On the heels of October's article in the Courier News focusing on Prenatal Yoga at our studio, we were featured once more in the paper's "On The Run" section. Following the link to the article will take you to the fitness correspondent's insightful look at what Pilates is, and how it can be of benefit for most people. Also, with the holidays approaching fast, we thought we'd offer some helpful tips on how to make holiday shopping slightly less stressful on your body and mind.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING:
Our tips for
minimizing the shopping-related stress on your body |
|||||
As the
holidays approach, there is a lot of pressure to find the right gift for
everyone on the gift list. As such, every year women trudge out to the mall in
search of that perfect something. And every year people come to our studio with
achy feet, tired backs, stiff shoulders and sore necks.
So this year I thought I would offer a few tips on how one can avoid some of these "shopping-related injuries:"
5. Clean hands frequently - This is the prime season for respiratory infections - avoid them with a liberal use of hand sanitizer.

7. Buy Gift Certificates - If the person on your list already has everything, get them "an experience." Whether it's a
golf lesson from a
 pro or a
relaxing
massage at our studio, a
thoughtfully chosen
gift certificate can be the perfect solution.
However you do your shopping this year, remember to
stop by the studio |

IN THE NEWS:
The story
written by
Angela Billings
in The Courier News' "On The Run" section presented one fitness
expert's experience at our studio. Although initially skeptical of the benefits
of the Pilates technique, Angela did change her mind following a private session
with Deborah. Click on the picture above or this

CLASSES COME & Anticipating the stress of the holiday season we are introducing a new "Relaxing Yoga and Meditation Class" taught by Kristen Oels. This class will meet Wednesdays 5-6PM. Stop by, relax, breathe! Friday night Vinyasa Yoga class at 6:30PM is no more. A fully updated scheduled is attached to this email and available for download here. We are considering offering a belly-dancing workshop and would like to solicit your feedback. Please e-mail me if you might be interested. |

Some of our yoga clients have expressed an interest in Pilates Tower but have been hesitant about taking the plunge. So we've made it even easier for them to give our Tower classes a try. Our new 10 Class Mat/Tower Combo Package offers 5 Mat classes and 5 Tower classes for only $200. The same rules apply and the class card is still good for three months. This card offers all our clients another option for changing up their exercise routine in the coming year. Because our Tower classes are physically challenging and rely on some basic Pilates knowledge, we do require that someone who has never taken a Pilates class at our studio, take at least 5 Pilates Mat classes or 3 Private sessions before participating in the Tower class. All private Pilates sessions are paid for separately. So, if you still haven't experienced the Pilates Tower Class come in give it a try! |

1.
Empty out the purse - One way or another all sorts of stuff just seems to
accumulate there. After you're done cleaning the purse, you might be a few
dollars richer and are bound to be amazed at how light it actually is.
2.
Shop in comfortable shoes - If you are going
to be on your feet for a long time fashion may just have to be sacrificed for
comfort. It's O K!
3.
Take breaks - No matter how many gifts you have to buy,
remember to take a some time for yourself and have a "Starbucks moment." Sit
down and relax even if just for a few minutes. Nothing like a warm cup of coffee
or tea to bring back some sanity. 
4.
Distribute the weight evenly - Make sure that the packages are evenly
balanced on both sides of the body. Carrying too many packages on one side may
throw your alignment out of whack and cause muscle tension, pain and headaches.
6. Shop Online - If you decide to skip the
mall, 
As we head into the winter months there
are bound to be days when the weather turns so bad that it might be unsafe for
you or for our instructors to travel to the studio.
