A little Mindful Monday Motivation! It's #MarchMatness month!

The The Single Leg Stretch is a Pilates essential and these ladies are making it look like a lot of fun!!
This exercise strengthens the abdominal muscles, stabilizes the spine and helps build strength in the torso while improving your endurance & coordination! The single leg stretch is  part of the well known Ab Series of Five! Breaking it down and focusing on each part of the series is a great way to focus and not rush through the movements. And follow the hashtag ##MarchMatness on Instagram for all kinds of love for Mat Pilates!

Snow Teasers!

We have been bombarded with snow accompanied by many no class snow days this winter but no matter where you are you can do Pilates! Here is a little fun in the snow with some angels and teasers. A good lesson in thinking before you move- my first attempt I hadn't accounted for the weight of my snow boots or the sinking of the snow beneath my butt. The second attempt is much better! Think. Connect. Move! We will continue working on these more advanced moves in Pilates 2 and Power Sculpt! #dopilatesyoullfeelbetter

Tuesday Evening Adult Education classes at Washburn have been canceled!

I am so sorry to report that due to the snow and quickly deteriorating road conditions Washburn made the call to cancel classes tonight. I will be contacting our coordinator and will update on options for make-up classes as soon as I know something. The weather for tomorrow is not looking great but as of now school is on as well as Adult Ed.
If anything changes I will update as soon as I have the info!

We will have make-ups for all six classes that were cancelled last week! Hooray!! Make-up classes will be the week following the regular scheduled winter session, March 25th, 26th and 27th!

January 29th & 30th 2019 Minneapolis Public Schools still Closed - Classes Cancelled

Minneapolis public schools made the decision, due to dangerously cold weather to keep the schools closed through Wednesday which, again means, unfortunately Community Education classes have also been canceled. 😭
Community education offices will be closed until Thursday morning and at that time I will contact the coordinators for both schools to find out about options for makeup classes for all three evenings.
I will see you next week!!

January 28th 2019 Minneapolis Public Schools Closed - Classes Cancelled

Unfortunately, due to weather Minneapolis Public Schools made the decision to close schools for the day, including adult education so my Washburn Pilates 1 and Pilates Yoga Power Sculpt classes will not run this evening. I'm crossing my fingers that the dropping temps will not cause any more school closures this week. I will know more about my options to add a make up class once I am contacted by coordinator tomorrow as all offices are closed today. I will pass on the info as soon as I have it.

I'm a bit bummed but we'll get back at it tomorrow, hopefully!! Keep moving!
