Happy Mother’s Day!

What does fitness have to do with being an artist? Glass artistry means a lot of repetitive movement as well as holding the body one place for a long time, bringing an imbalance to the muscles and compressing the spine. Yoga lengthens and strengthens the muscles, elongates the spine and helps to focus the mind. I find artistic inspiration where the inhale meets the exhale…

I’m halfway through my 5th time of doing an 8 week strengthening program and bumped up my weights, again! I started last August after two years rehabbing my collarbone after having been dislocated for 20 years. My yoga practice helped me get through those two years of limited mobility; diaphragmatic breathing, bringing balance and stability to my muscles while engaging philosophical practices. Our bodies are constantly changing and our minds must be open to these fluctuations of life.

I’ve been training for more than a decade and now I’m developing a program that incorporates all of what I’ve learned from yoga, Pilates and strength training.
Just for women!! Small group classes start this fall in Naples! Message me for private sessions!

Just finished deep cleaning the house. My yoga practice keeps me flexible for reaching and bending, squats prepare me for cleaning the baseboards and strength training is for moving the heavy furniture. It’s not always about how that b***y looks!!

I’m excited to be back at the Dunes of Naples to teach Pilates Fusion!!

I’ve got 30 more years til my 80’s but this is why I continue to move my body every day!!

Here are four positions to practice diaphragmatic breathing. Follow this link to my YouTube page to access the full video. https://youtu.be/u-KGG9FIPvM?si=VO2k_RRjfemFRv27
