Please check out my new Teacher Training Page on my website. The Total Body Wellness Teacher Training Program is a very realistic and doable program with both time and money. You are trained to take the Pilates Method Alliance Certification as this is the only certification for Pilates that actually exists. Training schools can only give a certificate of completion, therefore you must take the PMA test to say that you are a Certified Pilates Instructor. Would love to talk to you if you are interested.

So I did a half marathon last Saturday. Did not train as a runner so I walked it in 3 hours and 9 minutes. Did not take my own advice and got pretty dehydrated. Next time I will spend much more time walking/running. But it was great fun and recommend it as a great goal to work toward.

As many of you know, I am a member of the Advisory Council for the City of Albuquerque’ Department of Senior Affairs. Yesterday, we went to lobby our representatives to not combine Aging and Long Term Services department with Human Services. The merge would not be good for the Senior’s (Age 50 +) of New Mexico. Albuquerque has a DSA that is envied by many cities and states and we want to continue to offer the amount of services that we do to all Seniors.
Unfortunately everything takes so long at the legislature, that a hearing that we all wanted to attend at 1:30pm did not happen in time for us to be there. Kudos to all those who were able to stay late. At this writing I still don’t know the outcome.
If you don’t know much about the Albuquerque Department of Senior Affairs, please log on to www.cabq.gov.

Got some great news on GYRO front and it looks like 2011 will be a good GYRO year.

Wow, Just finished getting rid of all the terrrible spam that this blog gets. Some of the stuff is pretty disgusting but it is really nice when I get an actual comment to a post. Thanks to you all who have actually responded to me throught the years.
Good intentions.
We all seem to start off the year with good intentions as far as our goals or resolutions for the year. Something gets in the way and we often don’t fulfill those good intentions. Too bad. It’s like a missed opportunity. We had the whole year to do something and now we have to start over.
I am a firm believer in writing down my goals for each year.
I used to write my goals every year and I was much better at achieving them. I can honestly say that I generally reach my goals when I write them down.
Lately, I have to admit that I don’t write them down as much. I used to write a daily to do list and of late I haven’t been doing that either. I feel that I am getting less done. When I don’t write things down, I lose focus. There is way to much going on in my life on a daily basis between the studio, family life, my boys activities and cleaning my house so when it is not written down, I just forget about it for awhile and then end up behind.
Therefore, I am telling all of you out there that my first goal for this year is to go back to writing down my goals, writing down what I want to achieve this year. I am going to write 3 month goals and long term goals and I am going to update them and check them off when I have reached them. Since I told you and wrote it down here first, you can hold me to it and check in with me next year. The other thing that is definitely going to go on my short term and long term goals is to not get caught up in daily life so much that I forget about my goals. To make time to reach them. To work on them, to pray about them and to have faith that they will be reached. I have good intentions.
Before I go, I want to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas Season and if you don’t celebrate Christmas then I want to wish you all the love and joy that Christmas represents.

Hi everyone. Wow, it has been way to long since I wrote. I keep saying that I am going to be more consistent but as always happens life gets in the way.
Now that the boys are going back to school, I will be spending more time at the studio and hopefully seeing some new faces as well as old friends.
I want to encourage you to come to the Tuesday 9:15 Pilates/Sculpt class. I can honestly say that their is no other class like this in Albuquerque. Come and check it out so we can keep it on the schedule.
Saturday Morning Boot Camp is comming back beginning Saturday, September 11 at 7:15am. This is an awesome cardio and conditioning class and it will last for 10-weeks. Cardio, Pilates, Yoga and Strength Training in one class. Pretty cool.
Also adding a new 5:30 Wednesday evening equipment class to the schedule. This class replaces the 4:30 Friday evening class that just never really filled up. We are hoping that this class will be just what you are looking for. It is limited to 4 people
I am continuing to build my Reflexology practice and have added Cranial Sacral Therapy to my bag of tricks. Also, our Wellness Therapy Program has been very successful and we hope that more people can take advantage of it. My goal is to be able to help you to fill better in any way I can.
Hope your Fall gets off to a great start. Once agani, I hope to write more soon.

Well the summer bootcamp is over and sadly it was as successful as last year. Only 6 participants and after three weeks we were down to 1. I am not giving up hope but I am definitely rethinking that early morning time. Maybe an evening bootcamp would work out better.
I will try the Saturday morning bootcamp again it the fall. Now that was successful and we had a blast so watch for information to come about that. Most likely it will begin after labor day.
So we are definitely not moving. At least not for the next couple of years. There was talk of a new location but we have decided to stay in our beautiful studio and I am thinking about a couple of changes in layout. More to come on that.
Really hot out so please remember to drink lots and lots of water and eat lots of veggies and fruits to keep you hydrated.

Haven’t been able to write much because things have been great and really busy and now today two posts wow!
I just wanted to touch on something that came up today while reading the newspaper. Both in the Health section of the Albuquerque Journal. The first was an article titled “Watch ingredients in cosmetics” great article about how many cosmetics are unsafe because of chemicals and often times create terrible reactions. the second article was actually a question about the need for Vitamin D.
As many of you know I am a firm believe in Shaklee products. So much so that I give my children nothing else and I use them daily. Not only the supplements but I use Shaklee skincare and the cosmetics.
The skincare and cosmetics are all natural and contains Vital Repair+, a patented,(U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) breakthrough approach:
*Vitamin E provides front-line antioxidant defense and creates silky softness.
*Vitamin C supports the body’s natural defenses against UV-induced collagen breakdown.
* Vitamin A increases skin’s natural moisture retention.
* Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) boosts skin’s suppleness and elasticity.
* Grape Seed Extract interrupts enzyme reactions that break down skin-firming collagen.
* Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) neutralizes the free radicals that visibly age skin the fastest.
* Beta Glucan soothes environmental irritation.
Also all the Enfuselle products are:
*Clinically proven to reduce the visible signs of aging
* Provides SPF 15 sun protection
* Hypoallergenic
* Won’t clog pores
* Oil free
* Dye free
* Soap free
* Dermatologist tested
* Not tested on animals
* No animal-derived ingredients
* Backed by the integrity and quality of Shaklee
Shaklee’s Enfuselle is a great option for healthy skin that is natural and safe.
As far as Vitamin D is concerned there have been numerous studies showing that a great number of people are lacking vitamin D and Research supported by Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., shows that a lower blood vitamin D level is associated with metabolic syndrome and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Another great reason for vitamin D. Shaklee’s Vita-lea vitamin and mineral supplement gives you 200% of your daily need for Vitamin D. No other supplement that I know of does the same.
My point is that there is a reason that I believe in Shaklee and the above mentioned are just two of the reasons! For more information please visit www.shaklee.net/choosetobehealthy

Hi there, We are going into the 4th week of Saturday morning bootcamp and we are having a blast! We have 11 participants and they are all gaining strength and stamina and they tell me they are enjoying it. We are beginning with a walk/run and then moving into the parking lot for some boot camp cardio training. We then move inside for some sculpting, pilates and yoga. It is great fun and I am so happy that we did it! We love to see you join us next time!
