Mirrors Do Not Enhance Pilates Movement Learning Instructors debate the benefits and drawbacks of using mirrors as a teaching tool. According to a small study published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies (2009; 13, 283–90), taking Pilates classes in a room with mirrors will not

We have all of our winners for the Sees candy! A big thank you to those who bought packages in February. Enjoy your sweets!

It's been awhile, but I am back with a great offer!

If you are new to reformer, contact me here or at the Club at 510-226-8500 ext. 522 and I will set you up with an instructor. Pam

Tried some more cupcakes but they were a bust-- I had better stick to pilates stuff. Contact me at ClubSport and I will give you a free session if you buy a one on one package by 9/30. Just say you saw the offer on my FB page!

So I made the zuccini cupcakes today (recipe in my notes) and brought them to class. Let's see, one instructor couldn't eat for a reason I can't remember and the other one is avoiding carbs. Doesn't anyone eat anymore?! Hopefully the folks in the break room will scarf them up. (Don't tell anyone, but they have chocolate chips in them!) All my other cupcake recipes require potato starch. What is that?

Let's talk about pilates today. One of my instructors, Pamm, has a good tip (she gets club bucks for this one!) Here it is: when your instructor tells you to move a hand, make sure it's not the hand supporting your weight. She was doing snake one night and was told to move her hand-- without thinking she moved the hand holding her up and landed on her butt on the floor! It gave the class a good laugh. Do you have a humorous story to share?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have 25 fans! Now I get to do something; I just have to figure out what it is.

Well, just like I thought, I have already messed up technologically (big surprise). I decided to write about cupcakes and pilates and wrote too much. So if you want to read all about this subject, you need to go to my "notes" on my FB page. FB make my comment a note instead! Who knew that comments could only be a certain number of words? I'll try to be more succinct in the future, but it is a really "healthy" (lol) cupcake recipe!

Welcome to my fan page for The Method Studio at ClubSport Fremont. I can't wait to share events and happenings in the pilates world at ClubSport. But first I have to get a bit more technologically savvy. Stay tuned as I wade into the 21st century with tips, questions, and, hopefully, some answers.
