Simply Pilates

Start small and be consistent. Try 10 minutes of movement daily! Make this one of your self care activities. It can be a simple walk at lunch break, parking further away from a store, using the stairs, performing sit to stand during the commercials of your favorite show or even a structured workout.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Please make your safety and the safety of those at the studio ... myself included a priority. College students will be returning home, family members arriving for holidays or you will be traveling to visit your loved ones. Please be advised the studio will be following the current travel guidelines for leaving the state of NY. * 14 day quarantine (no attending classes for 14 days from your return.)... * Opt out testing ... you must test 3 days prior to returning to NY and quarantine for 3 days and repeat Covid test on day 4. If both are negative quarantine ends. ( you can return following your 2nd negative test) * If you have family arriving home or for the holidays, please treat this the same way as if it were you. Make sure they have tested negative and done self isolation before you return to the studio. My goal is to keep the studio open and the only way I can do that is if you follow these travel mandates and stay diligent in mask wearing, social distancing and doing your part if you gather with others. Thank you! Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me. See more

Start your New Year off right by creating a new healthy habit. Begin every morning with a glass of water to put your health first and set the tone for the rest of your day!

As I voted, I prayed! I prayed that we come together as a country and heal the anger and divide that has only been made greater by the media. I prayed that friendships be mended, families reunite and communities once again embrace all without condemning those that have different beliefs and opinions. That we once again have respect for each other and what we have to say in a constructive non threatening manner and never forget that it’s ok not to agree on all matters. ( LET’S... AGREE TI DISAGREE AND MOVE FORWARD) We all need to take a breath and realize we can come together as human beings and create a change. This one day will not define us. It is each and everyday we live and make choices to care about our country ( the place we live) and about the human beings we come in contact each and every day. We each have the power within US TO MAKE IT BETTER, TO CREATE A COUNTRY WE CAN ONCE AGAIN TO BE PROUD TO LIVE IN. Acknowledge what you see, and what you don’t know, what you can do better and how you can help others. Leave the anger behind and show our children WE THE PEOPLE can create the change we so desperately need. Please do not respond with hatred, let’s think before we act, speak or judge. See more

I want to wish you all a very Happy & Healthy New Year! I am glad to be closing the door to 2020 and am hopeful as we move into 2021. I am beyond grateful that my business has been able to survive through the shutdowns/ and strict guidelines. Unfortunately many in the fitness industry were not so lucky. I have all of YOU to thank for the doors remaining open. I appreciate each and everyone of you that attended zoom and in studio sessions as well as those of you that passed on encouraging words. Let’s make 2021 a year to remember for much different reasons than 2020.

Self care happens in many areas... practice them all

This is so crazy!!!! We have to speak up and make a change. This is your health and longevity at stake.

Practicing self-care does not mean you are choosing yourself over your loved one(s). It means that you are simply being mindful of your own needs, so you are better able to support the people you care about. When you take care of yourself and are not stressed, you are better able to meet the needs of others. Self-care comes in a variety of forms. It can be as simple as taking a deep breath when you notice you are becoming stressed, choosing a meal that nourishes your body or just taking a 5 min. walk. By maintaining your physical and mental health, you will likely be better equipped to handle the stressors that come along with your family/work life. Take the time you need for self care because you are worth it!

Please read ... this will give you a glimpse into our daily struggles and why we are fighting so hard to be heard by those that are making decisions. Any and all support is greatly appreciated. https://www.facebook.com/582966556/posts/10157207878636557/
