And finally, we hosted our first Pre/Postnatal class yesterday and it was a BLAST! We'll be continuing to hold these classes on a weekly basis, Saturdays at 10am, so please if you or anyone you know is interested have them join us by clicking here !

We wanted to start 2021 off with something fun, because I don't know about you but we could certainly use some fun right now.

So we decided to focus on "tricks" this week. You know, those things you see people do and think, "well I could NEVER."

Are you sure?
We're not.
We think you can.

Because, here's the thing, tricks are not necessary.
Bottom line.
But they sure are worth it.

Tricks bring about a certain excitement and sense of pride that is pretty unique to the moment you learn how to do them. It's another way to turn those "I can't do's" into "I can do's" or "I will do's," and we are all about that.

Just like everything else, there's no one way to do these things. If you've got two hands on the ground and two feet in the air, we're going to call that a cartwheel. Full stop. You did it! Yay!

So let's find your trick and your version of it this week. You don't have to like them all - this isn't a one size fits all situation, just like everything else we do here. Your job is to find what works for you, dig in and be super proud of yourself for accomplishing whatever it is you accomplish in the moment.

Even if it's, "Well now I know that I do not like going upside down BUT I think I might really like spinning around."

GREAT! Look at you go!

It's all about staying curious, playing and exploring friends. And if we can do that with a little smile and a giggle here and there, well then, as far as I'm concerned we've made it.

Happy New Year everyone! Let's start 2021 off with some well deserved fun! You with us?

All our love,
Cassandra + Pilates People
