Dear Friends,
July has rolled in bringing plenty of rain and lots of humidity. There’s a cool spot at the studio and plenty of room for an equipment class or two!With so many on vacation this month, your chances of getting into a class are excellent!
Last month, I was able to slip into a slot of a vacationing client when I was in Florida..
The last day of our vacation, I had the privilege of working with Laurie Beck in SanDestin. Laurie has been teaching Pilates for 25 years! For those of you who have heard me say (a thousand times!), “Pull your ribs toward your hips,” or “lower your ribcage”, you’ll be pleased to know, I’m not the only one! That was one of Laurie’s first cues to me, and to ‘help’ me remember, she placed a moving disc over my ribs, then added two three pound weights on top of it (“you can use this with your clients”). Three-quarters of the lesson was done with that in place, removing it only when we got to the ab work! Laurie has been featured on Good Morning America and the Dr. Oz show for her unusual and successful approach to healing her cancer. Her client base includes world renowned chef Emeril Lagasse and his wife, Alden. Needless to say, it was a challenging and inspiring experience!
This month we are saying goodbye to two long-term clients and friends. Dr. William Humphrey is retiring and moving to Nashville to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed in our community, and especially in this studio where he has attended twice a week since we opened!
Devin Meister also leaves us this month. Having served in the Marines, he is returning to the military, only this time in a “special ops” capacity with the Air Force. We are so grateful for Devin’s strength and dedication to faithfully serve our country. Thank you, Devin! We wish you the very best.
Laurie Sewell wins a free class this month for bringing in new client, Pam Head! We appreciate Laurie’s support and are glad to have Pam with us.
There are a few Premier Pilates tank tops and t-shirts left for sale. We have most sizes available. The tank tops run slightly small, so I suggest ordering a size larger than you normally wear. If you would like to order one, you can text or call me at 931-349-0446.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable rest of July!
Sincerely,
Jan Thorne – Owner
