A Beautiful 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise Retreat

How would you like to spend the last long weeks of winter this year? How about watching the sunrise break over the open ocean as you begin early morning sun salutations at 6:15, then nourishing your body at a breakfast buffet  …Or sleeping in ’til noon and waking up on a sunny water slide? Enrich your day with a full availability of workshops, yoga and Pilates classes… settle in for nighttime meditation at 10:00pm (and get zen on the dance floor afterwards perhaps??).

Cruise the Eastern Caribbean on the Carnival “Liberty” with Pilates Core Center and Dragonfly Yoga March 21 – 28, 2009. We will depart out of Miami and visit San Juan, St. Thomas and St. Maarten. Join us on a retreat of world and self-exploration in pursuit of wellness, balance and personal growth (and fun!!).

Enjoy a week of Pilates and Yoga classes, meditation, workshops on wellness, nutrition, as well a other topics of interest…all this and more!!!

Life After Hip Surgery

Nancy has been a client of PC2’s since we opened in May 2005, and has since become an instructor on our staff.  Nancy shares the story of her hip surgery and how Pilates helped her to recover.

–D. Grossman

To make a long story short, in Dec 2002, I had a total right knee replacement and thought everything would be fine. In June 2003, I began to experience sciatica in my left leg. I thought I pulled a muscle, overstretched, or simply overworked my leg. I was wrong. The pain worsened, and in April 2006, I began Pilates Reformer classes. I loved the reformer instantly, but was experiencing pain when I used the leg straps. My legs weren’t the same length, certain moves were painful and walking with a limp was noticeable. I was teaching yoga by this time and was concerned that something was seriously wrong.
