Tracie’s Yoga

It’ll have to do. ☕️🤷🏻‍♀️

Friendly PSA.

The “empty mind” idea sets people up to quit.

Because most minds do the opposite when you sit down.

They get louder. Faster. More dramatic.

That doesn’t mean meditation isn’t working.

It often means you just removed the distractions that kept everything quiet.

The practice is not wrestling the mind into silence. It’s watching the agitation without feeding it.

No arguing. No chasing. No panic.

Just noticing, returning, and letting the nervous system learn that it can ride out the wave.

Eventually the mind does what all tantrums do when they aren’t rewarded.
It runs out of fuel.

Shaking isn’t failure. It’s your nervous system trying to coordinate strength instead of brute-forcing the movement.

We’ve been conditioned to panic when our body isn’t perfectly still. But Pilates literally exposes where control is still developing.

You’re not weak. Your body is learning. Let it be messy for five damn seconds.

Registration for Spring 2026 group fitness classes opens on Sunday, February 15! Registration will begin at 9:00AM for those using the Daxko app or website. If you plan to register in person at HAC, you may do so beginning at 10:00AM when the facility opens.

While advance registration is not required to participate in group fitness at HAC, it is strongly recommended, as many of our classes are popular and fill up quickly. Want to preview the schedule before you decide? Go to hollandaquatic.org/fitness and click the banner to see our spring lineup.

PILATES IS . . .

Fair warning.

Definitely not

It’s a fact.

This all weekend
