"It is this elusive nuance, coming from an unconscious place in our psyche or soul, which drives us to this dedication. So many of those who teach this method--especially teaching Pilates to those recovering from accidents or injuries--teach from a place of compassion. Their approach to the work is from a position of service to " -G. Calderone

I love you too. Thank you!

I get to do this everyday. And I teach other people how to do it. Then they smile. Simple. #ahhpilates

Sunny Saturdays and spine stretches for the win! Thank you to everyone that has been back in the studio since I re-opened last week. Thank you to everyone who WANTS to come back, but is waiting until you feel safe. ...feeling fulla #thanks

Just a little light reading.... We’re opening soon (limited hours). I will keep you posted as I make all of the necessary updates to the studio and while I get my hands on a few more supplies. Thank you for the continued support!

A few of you have asked how "it’s going. Specifically because it’s an interesting time to own a small business in Georgia, to say the least: Earlier this week, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced that on Friday (tomorrow) fitness facilities, nail salons, bowling alleys, barber shops and a smattering of other oddly bulked businesses are allowed to open (as long as they meet safety thresholds like instituting social distancing policies). Minutes later... mayors across Georgi...a, our President, medical professionals, and others were outwardly protesting this decision. There were plenty of other authorities opening up casinos, having "Ignore the Rona" parties, and offering very different opinions simultaneously. In the same breath I started receiving calls and emails. My phone was blowing up. Some people were chomping at the bit to get back into the studio, while others were begging and instructing me not to open. And I appreciate you all equally. Therefore, you can see how Governor Kemp's decision has put many of us Georgia small business owners in a very precarious position. Regarding opening Bodymax Pilates: I am going to do what I always do. I am going to go with my gut. I am going to educate myself as I best see fit. I am going to do what I think is best to keep myself, my family, and my students (my extended family) safe. I am going to rely on nearby residents' feedback and medical experts prior to opening. I know that in my case, if I lose the public's trust and confidence... and I reopen even though it might not be safe, I risk losing that trust forever. Bottom line is, nobody understands the intricacies of each other's lives and mixed feelings right now. Let's have empathy, sympathy, and respect for everyone's personal circumstances, level of education, financial positions and decisions. Yes - we need this movement (Pilates) more than ever. We will get back to Pilates as soon as possible, but not this week. I will let you know when that changes.

Lazy breathing converts the lungs, literally and figuratively speaking, into a cemetery for the deposition of diseased, dying and dead germs. -JOE PILATES Even when we’re when exercising hard, only about 50% of the air in our lungs gets expelled when we breath out. Joseph Pilates believed that the air left in our lungs was a haven for the multiplication of harmful germs, and sought through his exercises to purge lungs, thus cleansing our systems.... This, he said, is the equivalent of an internal shower. Elaborating on the theme, he once said: As a heavy rainstorm freshens the water of a sluggish or stagnant stream, so does the Pilates method purify the bloodstream.

TBT to when I could get all up and personal with ya. Pilates just isn't the same without tactile feedback, but we're making it work. #healingtouch

With life as we knew it coming to a bit of a HALT: Private sessions are now available via video chat, from the comfort and safety of your chosen quarantine location. Contact me if you'd like to schedule a session for yourself, or a group. (If that face on the other end of the screen isn't enough motivation to start, I don't know what is).

New vibes in the studio. Light covers are the perfect mini facelift. We're gonna have a great week!

I could move for hours tonight. Breaking all the rules, just doing what feels good. But, it appears that the deodorant people are wrong. 24 hour protection, my ass. Be back tomorrow . (No..I don't own the rights to this greattttt remix. But, I'd like to.)

Free outdoor classes are almost here! Come onnnnnn Spring!

Cuz it's been a minute. We just might be getting a little QT in at the Barre tomorrow, troops . #bedsidebarre #prep .
