Yep she’s here, the only living teacher ever certified by Joseph Pilates, you might say the Knute Rockne, the Mikhail Nikolaevich Baryshnikov, the Michael Jordan of Pilates, a true honor

We are very excited to announce that Lolita San Miguel is
coming to town! For those of you that don’t know, Lolita is one of only two
people ever certified to teach the work of Joseph Pilates by Joseph Pilates himself;
as such she is a First Generation Pilates Teacher. Amber studied with Lolita for
2 years in Florida and completed her Master Teacher Certification under her.
Upon completion of the program, Amber was honored with the distinction of being
a Second Generation Teacher, one of only a handful in the world.

Lolita will be here in a couple of weeks, we would like to
welcome her at a reception at our studio on Friday, August 12, 2011 from 5:30pm
to 7:30pm. We hope you can join us and meet this amazing woman.

She will be doing continuing education for our teachers over
the weekend and then back on Monday morning to work with you our clients!

Monday morning she will be teaching a basic class at 9:00 am
and a more advanced class at 11:00 am, because space is limited you need to
sign up soon to ensure that you have a spot.

You can sign up by emailing us, calling or telling us while
you are at the studio that you want in. The classes will be $15.00 and be 1
hour in length. Hope you will jump at this opportunity and join us for an
amazing time!

Finally, the construction on 2^nd Ave. has now
shifted to the north side of the road. Our best suggestion is that you circle
around and head south on Division and then turn right on Pacific to get to the
studio.

Thank you for being so understanding as our road “improvement” is
completed!

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our Lolita
San Miguel functions!

Hey, just wanted some feedback from everyone, we often receive inquires from other people wanting to use the studio for different classes or workshops, we have never done it because it is our Pilates place. Recently though, we have been thinking about adding some cardio related classes, maybe Zumba, maybe something else. Pilates strengthens us and cardio burns, we have always strongly suggested both. Any feedback on this, would you be interested?

We are starting to get our Precision Pilates team together for this years Race for the Cure, we are also going to be at the 2011 Womens Show, details of both to follow and thanks for playing with us!!

 Precision Body Works

 February Special – $60.00  A $30.00 Savings

 Chocolate Body Scrub and Wrap  – 1 Hour

 Indulge your senses as your body is buffed leaving your skin smooth and hydrated.  Comfort food for your skin! Wet your appetite with this Sweet, delectable treatment.

 First your whole body is exfoliated with the Chocolate Body Cream Scrub then rinsed off.  A Chocolate Butter Cream is generously applied before you are wrapped and the product moisturizes the skin while you enjoy a scalp and foot massage.    After you are unwrapped a luxurious Chocolate Body oil is applied sealing in your hydrated skin. 

 In addition to its intoxicating scent, chocolate contains over 300 different compounds, some of which can have a significant impact on one’s health and beauty.  Theobromine, a substance very similar to caffeine, produces a slimming effect on the body; magnesium, potassium and calcium have a calming effect on the body therefore  reducing stress; polyphenol antioxidants thwart free radicals which are responsible for cell aging. The Chocolate Scrub and Chocolate Butter Cream are formulated with the addition of Shea butter, which fortifies your skin’s moisture barrier. A sumptuous treat without the calories!

We kicking into gear here! We are doing Pilates, having fun and enjoying all that we have earned. I had the pleasure the other day of noticing a client at a walking event, when she came to our studio she had significant spine issues, she looked slumped over. I was amazed to see how strong, straight and proud she was, when I mentioned it to her she smiled and told me that she knew! I love what I do and I love who I do it with, thanks to all of you! Amber

I have a copy of the article Lolita San Miguel wrote for the Pilates Style September/October 2010 issue, on footwork. It is a great illustration of what we have been talking about in class. I am going to try and post it here or on facebook. If you can’t find it there, email me and I will get it to you.

Thank you Amber

I have recently been looking at my diet and recieving some excellant advice and guidance on what works best for my body. I found out that I have some food intolerances but the main thing is to eliminate refined sugar (Karma really is nasty). This has been made easier by a couple of recipes that were given to me, I love these and wanted to share them with you, please share yours on the forum page if you have them. Love Ya Amber
