Post Natal Yoga/Pilates
January 10, 2009
Nothing will ever make you reevaluate your priorities like becoming a mom, either for the first time, or the last time. It is essential that women, as the primary care givers, learn that first and foremost, we must take care of ourselves, or we will not be able to care for anyone else.
That is why this class is so important.
This is a Transitional Class designed to enable you to get back to your regular fitness routine after your baby is born. This class is limited to no more than 10 new moms and will run for 8 weeks. After the 8 weeks, you should be ready to return to any activity that is within your fitness level.
We will be concentrating on getting your core strength back, working the abs, the upper and lower body as well as helping to deal with the stresses placed on the “new mom”. Learning to stay calm and keep strong amid the chaos of life is critical to successful parenting.
Join Nancy and the Post Natal Yoga/Pilates class on Saturday, April 4, 2009 from 11:00 am to 12 noon in the Dragonfly Yoga Healing Arts and Retreat Center, 176 Jones Road, Medford, New Jersey, to begin the next phase of your journey as a new mom!
Classes will run for 8 consecutive Saturdays. You can choose which 8 week session best suits your time frame. Your baby should be at least 6 weeks old, and your doctor has advised you that it is safe for you to return to exercise.
There is no babysitting offered and you must contact Nancy at gernan16@aol.com or 856-816-1486 for more information and to reserve your spot.
Space is limited and will be given on a first come, first serve basis.
All payments must be made in advance of the first class.
2009 Sessions are as follows:
April 4 – May 23
June 13 – Aug 8
Aug 22 – Oct 10
Oct 24 – Dec 19
Total cost for one 8 week session: $120.00

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday (we did) and indulged in “moderation”…(I can’t speak for Sylvia, but I had more than my share of cookies…thanks, Mom!).
Kudos to those who were able to stay on their Pilates and yoga regiment during the holidays. For those who hosted the holidays, had houseguests or managed to get away for vacation and may have over-indulged…today is a new day and there is not a better time than now to commit to good health and well-being.
Staying healthy and maintaining well-being is even more of a challenge during these tough economic times. We are feeling the pinch like every other small business owner and are committed to keeping our staff employed. We know some of you have heard “rumors” of a price increase and we regret that inacurate information was circulated during the holidays causing some upset. The truth of the matter is we will be implementing a slight increase – we simply have no choice. Details of the increase can be found at PilatesCoreCenter.com.
Pilates Core Center has not had a significant price increase since we opened our doors in June 2005. Multiple times a year we show our appreciation to our clients by offering a free class, or reduced price classes – most recently our $10 mat class offer during November and December.
Our committment to our clients and our sensitivity to the current economic climate was evident when we proactively changed the classification of our springboard/wall tower classes from equipment to mat to offer clients an equipment alternative at a low mat class price – $15 drop in, $14/class with a 10 class card, $12.50/class with a 20 class card – you will not find equipment classes anywhere at those prices.
Our committment to our staff is to do all we can to keep them working during these trying times, and the price increase is necessary for us to operate our studios. We are proud of the quality of our programs as well as the quality and integrity of our staff. Our instructors take Pilates and yoga seriously and are diligent about their continuing education and sharing what they learn with clients and each other.
Thank you for choosing Pilates Core Center and Dragonfly Yoga. We wish you a healthy, happy, and prosperous 2009!
