January 28 Informed Body on ABC 7 View from the Bay

Tune in today before Oprah to watch Informed Body on View from the Bay. They came to our studio to film and show people what the equipment looks like and to get an idea about how we do things. It occurred to me after I was interviewed that they were going for a "mind/body/spirit" bent which is great, but not really how we roll.

My take on the mind/body aspect of Pilates is if you are paying attention to your body while you are in movement of any kind, you will be less likely to hurt yourself and more likely to be moving efficiently thus achieving better results in terms of posture, strength and flexibility. I am definitely not one to tell people to stop talking during their workouts. As long as you are doing the exercises properly and are aware of the task at hand, I am happy.

We had a lot of fun showing off our studio and I hope it comes through in the video that was shot. Many thanks to Katie McMahon, Cami Clark, Traci Higgins, Trina Hancock, Shona Curley and Alice Moore for participating and for being hilarious. I am not going to name names, but some ladies brought hair dryers to make sure their hair was perfect and another had her makeup done. Hmmm...

Don't forget to watch or TIVO today!

Must Read Book - Options

If you are in need of being humored, this book will make you glad you have a strong pelvic floor since you will be laughing so hard. The fake Steve Jobs is at his best when he asks Hillary Clinton if she has ever heard of Pilates which clearly she hasn't given the shape she is in. I love that he pokes fun at Larry Ellison for his tea ceremonies and plastic surgeries and then Bono for his save the world antics and his blatant disregard for everyone else.

So many parts of this book had me crying. I passed it on to a client who suggested we pen the "fake Brittany Spears" blog which lord knows I would if I could. Read this book now!!!!!
