Basic movement patterns of Pilates exercises will be covered along with breathing techniques. We will focus on core musculature including the abdomen, low back, inner and outer thighs and buttocks. The "core" provides a strong base of postural support and reduces stress on the spine and weight bearing joints. Clients will gain awareness and understanding of correct body mechanics and pelvic/spinal alignment. The class will be gentle and slowly paced.

What Inspires You To Move?

It was a beautiful weekend to enjoy the vast array of Colorado weather and abundant activities. On Friday, Shane and I loaded up the car and headed west, giddy to get away, looking forward to one more day of sliding down the mountain. And we did just that along with enjoying some much needed chill time together. The Colorado outdoors never cease to amaze me. As we awoke Saturday morning to gusty winds and a dusting of newly fallen snow I whispered to Shane, "We came to winter." Just a short drive away from home and we were surrounded by a new haven. Complete with thermals or as I would say "long undies," goggles, mittens, we loaded the lift, headed to the top, and soaked in the views from the expansive valley of Winter Park. The sad skinny pine trees quickly being destroyed by the pine beetles were clumped with snow. The abnormally gray sky hovered above. As we began our journey down, the wind continued to swirl the snow around making for spots of slick terrain and rosy cheeks, but that didn't stop us. We basked in the fresh mountain air. Fresh air invigorates me. The mountains inspire me. I love the outdoors. I took in the vast beauty around me while feeling my torso twist and turn, bending so low I could touch the snow. I feel more alive when I am moving.

I believe our bodies are meant to move; they are meant to be cared for. Take a walk outside and listen to the sound of the birds chirping, welcoming spring. Barrel down a hill on your mountain bike or ride your cruiser bike to the grocery store.

My own

Join me as I begin a new adventure of following dreams, taking risks, discovering myself and learning to trust. I am excited to have this new little "blog site" to share with you, update you, encourage you, and maybe even challenge you. The journey that has brought me to this place has not been easy or predictable. As I reflect back to my early days of teaching Pilates I was not sure that it was something I wanted to continue doing forever and only had a mustard seed of desire to have my own studio. But my eyes have been opened as an abounding desire grows in me to use my love and knowledge of movement to create something of my own...to impact people in a unique way...to provide an opportunity for all to  experience movement and fully live...to connect and weave lives together.

In a world where we have abundant choices, extensive freedoms, and endless ways to communicate there are times when it feels easy to get lost in possibilities. But my friend Erin is teaching me, you really can train your mind to focus on the simple things. It is worth the effort. So as I embark on this journey I hope that you too can find beauty, joy, and encouragement in the small things in life.
