The past few months (ok more like past 8 months) have been super hectic. So in order to satisfy all over you who have been asking for the next workshops, I have decided to put together a whole package. As I have recently moved my studio and my apartment, I am left with a beautiful, vacant, intimate space that I will use to your advantage in the month of May.

I propose three Saturdays, three kick ass classes + three different workshops!

2:30-4:30 Love Your Feet (workshop)

2:30-4:30 Love Your Legs (workshop)

Saturday May 26, 2012:

I will post more detailed descriptions of each workshop in coming days, or if you have any specific questions please just write to me.

See you in Makeover Month!!!

Major Pilates and Body Rolling sessions are now underway to undo the damages, and to add an extra perk I have signed up for a 30-day hot yoga challenge that starts April 15th. A lot of studios are offer similar challenges all over the world, so you may want to look into your area to see if there’s one for you, and let me know how it goes!

I will not journal my daily experiences but hope to have an interesting photo montage when the challenge is over, demonstrating a difference (I hope) between my post-move scoliotic spine and my post-challenge spine. Not to mention my worn-out dancer’s knees and osteo-arthritic hip have been acting up, so it’s a nice chance for me to put all my modalities to the test!

Treat your body to 18 hours of skeletal realignment, muscle lengthening, and tension release – you will feel renovated and energized. This weekend workshop will also help you gain a better understanding of your tension holding patterns, and show you how to relieve these tensions by yourself in a most simple and effective way on a daily basis.

The following body parts will be rolled out one muscle at a time, then addressed with the basic YBR routines:

- Hamstrings
- Posterior Calf
- Spine
- Quadriceps
- Adductors
- Anterior Calf
- Abdominal Muscles
- Chest and Neck

Cost: 620 USD (50$ discount if you register more than 6 weeks before start time)
Forms: http://yamunabodyrolling.com/training/registration

Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course students will have:

-An understanding of the theories of YBR®
-Experientially learned how to find and work all muscles covered in this phase
-Experienced the nature of muscle release and the order and logic by which it happens
-Have learned all YBR routines for the anterior and posterior body

Ok so Valentine’s day is around the corner and I wanted to teach a Partner Pilates class. You can come with your better half to giggle and exercise before going for a romantic supper together, or come with your sister, neighbour, best friend or father for an equally fun workout. You can even come alone and we’ll match you up with someone. The point is, this class is not romantic or relationship based. It is all about using another body to stretch, strengthen and challenge your body. Plus it’s really fun! I’ve taught this class many times before for special events, Lululemon, etc, but will be adding some new goodies into the mix. Hope to see you there!

As an avid practitioner of foot fitness and lover of all sorts of fancy or funky footwear, I dig anything to do with feet. If you haven’t made your way into one of my foot focus workshops yet, or are unsure why you should pay any attention to your feet, check out this recent news broadcast from NYC, birthplace of Yamuna Foot Fitness and quintessential walking city.
