What is Walk-ilates?
Walk-ilates was developed by master Pilates teachers Ellie Herman and Nancy Myers to maximize the MBT walking experience. The class begins with special releases and stretches using the ethafoam roller, followed by Pilates Mat exercises using the magic circle and standing balances (all done in your MBT’s). The class culminates in walking outside where proper gait and optimal alignment are stressed. Everyone will receive personal corrections to address their gait patterns.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
February 10, 2009
Being a part of or witnessing an act of love rouses deep emotions and often stops us in our tracks. Love can do that. It has the power to still us and encourage us to listen and connect with those around us to connect with nature and to remind us of the beauty and malleability of our own human nature. One of the things we appreciate most about Pilates is how it encourages us to listen to our bodies, to love and respect our abilities as they are now in this moment. We move moment to moment with attention to detail. We work compassionately with our bodies so that ultimately we are stronger in our own skin and on our own two feet. Let this Valentine’s Day be a reminder to each of us to take the time to take care of our bodies. To take the time to be sacredly selfish (as my friend Flossie used to say) so that with our strength we in turn can go out and spread acts of love for others to witness.
A Valentine’s gift for you…for the month of February please chose a complimentary yoga/pilates class, (Wednesday@ 9:30), a cardio dance class, (Tuesday @6:30) or a wall/tower class (Monday @ 1:00). *Cut and paste this sentence to redeem your free class or mention it when you arrive at the studio…no need to sign up in advance.
Love always,
Diane & Sylvia

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

most fun we’ve had yet. We raised $1,967!
Luray Tobar and Melissa Roberts came up with the idea of a Pilates for Pink Plank-Off Challenge and the training began. What began as a friendly competition between two instructors, soon spread to other instructors as well as clients of all ages… Congratulations to the particpants – you are all winners! By the way the time to beat next year is 7+ minutes of holding plank! The word on the street is that the 2009 Plank-Off training will begin in the spring! Watch for details after the first of the year. Read the rest of this entry »
