As the kids have grown-up, we have opted to spend more of our Wisconsin winters in my home state of Florida. Ron continues to work and in many cases even meets with his clients in the area who are also snow-birds. Last year I taught 3 months of on-line classes which I thoroughly enjoyed. It motivated me to stretch my comfort with technology as well as critique my own teaching and presentation via video. This year however, our winter sabbatical is a bit more staggered, partly due to my son's college graduation in May from Auburn University. We will be home for a couple of months and then return south for a few family events. Thus I hope you will join me in West Bend for a Pilates Tune-Up in February. I will offer both in-person group mat classes as well as personal training at times convenient for your schedule. Participating in group reformer classes here in Marco Island has been refreshing. It has served as a reminder that Pilates is amazing for all ages, athletic abilities, and therapeutic for both men and women. In addition, movements do not need to be complex, risky, or advanced to be effective. The basics to bring us to our center with focus and concentration, fluidity and precision will improve our physical and emotional conditioning, time and time again. I hope you will join me for these classes, whether group mat class or 1:1 training in February.
