With everything these days being so up in the air, we've been feeling the need to take more moments to slow down, take a deep breath and turn inwards in order to feel more grounded and settled.
Things that used to feel easy may now be feeling more difficult, and so we have put together a short guided meditation to help you find that inner calm you may be missing.
There ought to be a Nobel for Pilates. If there were Leslie and her, brilliant band of mindful movement mavens (MMMs) would be short-listed immediately. Suffice it to say that the exalted Joseph Pilates himself would be proud of you all.
Here’s how the MMC classes have changed my COVID-constrained life: The daily recounts of TP rolls remaining in the hall closet have ceased. With the dedicated and accomplished organization skills I have developed in these tedious times (my drawers and closets are such a high level I feel I could plan another invasion of Normandy … take THAT Marie Condo.) I’ve made far too many visits to Netflix … nothing left to watch. And how many hours can one spend reading? I’ve briefly considered writing my memoirs but not even my late mother would be interested in reading those. (She knew all my secrets anyway.)
And yes, fellow MMC-ites, I have so far neglected to mention the most important thing. We are all in good shape -- stretched, strengthened and lengthened – thanks to the daily classes. And thanks to modern technology we can see each other giving us a much-needed, deeply welcomed sense of connection and community.
Dark as it may feel now, MMC has given us a little light at the end of this perilous tunnel. And when this is all over – and it will end – the MMMs, their spirit, supportive attitude and their excellent classes, will always be cherished memory.
We are excited to announce our very own blog! We can’t wait to share what has been bouncing around in our heads this last while. Expect stories from our wonderful clients, teacher tips and all things MMC!
A big thank you to our lovely client and writer extraordinaire, Rachel Rafelman, who has been the inspiration (and the kick in the pants!) behind this endeavour. She is also the author of our first blog post! I hope you enjoy her writing as much as I do :)
Ever mindfully yours,
Leslie xo
