Greetings Village,

Happy Spring!

In January I started teaching a new Beginning/Intermediate Pilates Mat Class at the City of Minnetonka. The class is offered through their Senior Services Programming and I am thrilled to be back teaching a small, in-person, mat class. I wanted to share this heartfelt testimonial I recently received from one of the class participants.

"I would like you to know how your classes have had an impact on my physical mobility. My life has changed since I retired – a lot of adjustments. This was the first winter when I noticed my mobility had changed. When I was on the floor doing yoga and had to get up off the floor I needed to hold onto something stable to make sure I could get up ok. Since I started Pilates and working on my core strength that has changed. I am a lot more mobile and can get up w/o holding onto anything to retain my balance and strength. I do the homework that you suggest in your classes and it is definitely paying off!”

"Your classes are one of my highlights of the week. I try to soak up all your knowledge that you pass onto all your students. Your projection of your voice, great directions of how a pose should look like and feel, and explanation of the benefit of the pose are so helpful for students to get the most benefit out of your classes. I also appreciate your positive attitude which helps to make students feel comfortable and able to benefit from your classes and feel welcomed to participate in your class.”

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to your sessions and classes.

I truly do love sharing the benefits of Pilates with each of you, so that we can continue to walk through the differing chapters of our lives together and age with grace (me included!!!).

With much love and gratitude,

Lesley

P.S. I am curious, how has Pilates benefited you?
