Merry Christmas and Pilates
Merry Christmas,
Classes are coming to a close for 2007. Just a few short days away is a celebration for the Christian faith. Whatever your beliefs please enjoy a safe a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
This fall has been very challenging for my family and I. With Aaron my youngest son being diagnose with Type 1 diabetes we have sure faced a huge learning curve. He is determined to live his life his way. Prayers would be appreciated. Until you become a mother or father the word love of a child is only a thought. When life gives you a huge lesson you learn to deal. Not always easy to do.
Aaron and I will be working on doing a fundraiser for Diabetes. We are thinking of a Saturday morning late February. The fundraiser will be based on the Bones for Life movements. Donations will start at $25 and there will be sponsor sheets for anyone interested in participating. More on this after the Holidays. They are so close to finding a cure. Things have already changed for diabetics so much in the last 5 years. We want to contribute to acquiring funds for this cause. Anyone that would like to participate as a donor or a participant keep posted.
*************************************************************
Off to a more fun subject... I am encouraging everyone to try a green smoothie. I love my smoothies everyday. Here is one mix that I love

Off to a more fun subject... I am encouraging everyone to try a green smoothie. I love my smoothies everyday. Here is one mix that I love
- 1/8 Pineapple
- 1 tbsp Omega 3-6-9 oil
- 1 c Water
- 1" of ginger root, peeled and cut up
- 5 Raspberries
- 5 Blackberries
- 2 large handfuls of spinach or kale
You may add anything more to this like apples, oranges, clementines. I sometimes even add almonds or hemp hearts for protein.
*****************************************************************
Exercise of the Month
Breathing
Just find a quiet place to sit. Inhale through your nose for the count of 5. Open your mouth as you let the air come out the back of your throat. Repeat about 10 x's.
This will open up and activate the lungs, reduce stress and get you ready for the holidays.

2 Great Workshops
Healthy Neck and Shoulders, Oct. 13, 2007 9:30-12:30 Cost $55
Neck and shoulder pain, strain and limitation are the most common disorders after back pain. Repetitive motion injury is common among computer users, musicians, athletes and others.Almost all adults experience stiffness and limitation in the movement of their neck and shoulders.Neck pain can easily be chronic, is often slow to diminish, can return with the smallest of exertions.
Pelvic Power Low Back, Oct. 13, 2007 1:30 - 4:30 Cost $55
This workshop will assist with awareness and tissue strengthening after menapause.It may help you avoid surgical intervention for prolapse. As myself and other women have discovered, it can return vaginal sensation even after years of loss of feeling. Low back pain is the most common disorder. Back pain can easily be chronic, is often slow to diminish and can return with the smallest of exertions.
Register for both now and pay $95
*****************
Just a reminder there will be no classes Oct. 17 at 5:30pm or Oct. 18 at 7:00pm.
Oct. 16 9:15 class will be Oct. 15 at 9:15pm.
I will be away in New York City studying with Ruthy Alon. Ruthy is a master Feldenkrais teacher and has devised Bones For Life Program. I will be attending 30 of the 200 hour training. I am very excited about the trip and the training. 1st time to NYC. I have classmates there and will get to see the neighbourhood will there. There are 2 raw food restaurants close by.
***************
I would like to thank all those who have invited friends or fellow workers to join the studio. Please do keep inviting people. I would like to see another 20 or more students gain strength, flexibility and balance in their lives. My dream is to let all be aware that aging and pain are options, but it does take awareness and commitment to change these processes. It can happen!

Fall into Pilates
Hi All,
I had a most pleasant end of the summer driving down the coast of California from San Francisco to LA. The scenory was breath taking. I spent the first night at a classmates house near Monterey. The next day she and her sons took me in to the town of Monterey to the wharf and we drove down Cannery St. It was as if out of a Disney movie.
We than ventured to the 17 miles road in Pebble Beach. We stopped by the ocean a few times and really had a most enjoyable day. Great company and beautiful scenery!
I continued down the coast past the Big Sur and Hearst Castle (what a sight that was) even from the road.
The next day I went horseback riding at Circle Bar B Ranch. They have a truely awesome bed and breakfast, the riding trails and theatre all back off the highway on a 1.5 lane road.
That night I was in Marnina Del Rae. Since I forgot my swimsuit, I went shopping. I did find a suit for $20 and I visited the Victoria Secrets store. I spent two nights there and got to study with Marie Jose one the the great trainers in the Pilates world. My favourite place by there was Santa Monica, the beach was warm enough for swimming and there were 2 raw food restaurants there. Loveley place to sit by the beach and write. It is currently rated as 1 of 10 green cities in the US.
I left there and went north to Santa Barbara. What a pleasant surprise it was. I was greeted by a fellow bridge player and toured arount the whole town. There was a family event that took place on a little boat ride around the harbour. The boat, the little toot, was followed by 4 dolphins, we would turn to see them and they would turn. It was good fun that lasted about 20 minutes of dolphin entertainment.
I saw some of the wine country with 2 places of wine tasting! Each place had a different flavour. The second the one I perferred was set in New Orleans style with beads and lamps in the tasting room. I had never done a wine tasting before. I was very fearful of being ill, but they really know what they are doing when handing out the tasting in a special order.
After meeting my friends mother Dagmar Hegland, I can never be the same. What an outstanding lady of 86 years. I do wish she would finish her story before it is too late.
I was in Santa Barbara for 3 days and really got familiar with where to drive.
Next stop was LA. It was highly recommended that I see the Getty Museum. What a place! Bought in 1983 it took until 1997 to finish building and opened to the public in 2000. The stones were beautiful. The budget just for art at this place is $20,000,000 per year. The cost to enter $8 for parking. There were buses or trolly. The gardens are spectacular and I never saw grass that green and short. The view of LA was clear that day and the houses in the neighbourhood were something to view as well.
My classmate and her husband, gave me a tour of Hollywood, Sunset Blvd., Malibou, Bel Air and Rodeo Dr.
Overall was a very pleasant visit of which I hope to do more of in the future.
