Wow….

The physical benefits of meditation are well documented, lowered blood pressure, relief from anxiety, and stress reduction.

Even though a strong meditation practice has its physical benefits it can have some pitfalls in other areas, many of which fall under the umbrella of pride….

Aline Studios The men who created Pilates and Gyrotonic

Velma likes hats.

Seeeee….
She teaches me every day not to make assumptions.

Understanding people are discoveries to embark on.

She teaches me to be curious and never ever give up on surprises that people have in store for you.

Velma is my little Buddha teaching me everyday.

All that because I put a hat on my dogs head.

The face of cardio…… can’t make it look good if I tried.
😂😂😂😂😂

At it hard 4x a week.

Chopping wood but not😂😂.

Down 27lbs. Went up and down.

Looks like with this diet switch to more plant based things should take a turn quick.

I already see a huge change around my face. That heaviness around the chin is adrenal fatigue.

48 hours after switching to plant based so much fluid let go especially around my chin. I started to just shed all this metabolic waste.

It felt so good. Then my energy at the gym went up, my recovery improved, we added in a bit of cardio.

Ready to work
Getting excited
Will keep you posted

I love this so much.

This is a the list from my niece nephew and their kids.

It inspired me to write this post because I’m always still so grateful and amazed that people take the time not only to come visit me at home but to come to the studio as well.

I have clients that have been with me over 25 years and they still keep their appointments once or twice a week.

Just so so glad I bring something if value to people.

Eternally humbled

WELCOME….

😂😂😂😂😂Velma has been working hard.

Everyone gets a rushed greeting at the door.

More than likely you will get goosed on standing arch curl.

She’s been known to push people into a deeper stretch on the JSB board.

Feet get a good licking on kneeling arch curl.

No wonder she’s tired.

Happy Birthdayyyyyyyy 🎶

Tooooooo 🎶

Meeeeeeeeeeeeee 🎶

This is me circa 1996-97.

This girl was healthy AF.

This girl liked to go dancing.

This girl was a fighter.

I felt like I was fighting the world. The Pilates community was beginning to take shape, and I couldn’t get recognized by the big org’s because I worked out of my home.

Some guy had bought the Pilates trademark and was suing anyone using the name in any way. So I hid a studio in my house for over 10 years, teaching mat classes at gyms by different names.

I had to fight for everything. Looking back at this photo I see a beauty I didn’t see back then.

I wonder if that girl would fight so hard if she knew what I know now.

I’m still fighting back but it’s different.

Maybe it’s time to stop fighting and just accept that there will be resistance but to just acknowledge it and continue on my path.

This is a letting go.

There is an impending shortage….

This one right here…

She’s a real one.

Helping me with marketing, understanding FB and IG.

Not for followers, not to be an influencer, to get people in my business who are going to ONLY benefit from the love, attention, and training we give.

I’ve been hiding for years, hiding from trademarks, from competitors, from myself.

Taking the safe road because I had to single-handedly provide for both my sons.

Now they are adults and it’s my turn to open up my studio, my teaching, and get this show on the road before I die.

I’ve kept my head down, focused on my clients, focused on teaching to the best of my abilities for 36 years.

I know a few things and .marketingwitch is helping me show it.

Thank you Kassidy

I made a decision about 3 mos ago.

It was time.

Time for me.

I invested in myself and I t’s changing me.

Started at 226 today I’m at 196.

Numbers don’t matter except me at inspiring to watch them decline.

I’m feeling better, I can work more which is my favorite thing.

I’ve got a ways to go but I’m on my way.

Honestly, the hardest part is as learning my mental roadblocks, and getting off the I’m fat wheel….

Realizing weight loss is chemistry more than anything else.

Science isn’t emotional.
Fat isn’t emotional, it’s just cells. When you want the cells to change just give them different information.

I will keep you posted on my chemistry experiment…. Me.

These two.

I love em so much. Thank you .lum for taking care of Jack during his grueling 3 years as an apprentice.

You made a home for you guys, provided loving support, patience, and made a ton of food for Jack.

You are the best and I love you.

Congratulations Jack.
You finished what you started and nothing will EVER be this hard again.

You have walked through the fire and you made it.

You taught yourself how to learn, and this skill you will use over and over again.

You guys make my heart grow bigger.

Love,

Mom

Wow

I wonder when their next concert is

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I love your bones.
If you are experiencing pain in your joints because some bones are off.

Maybe you are symptomatic in some ways.

Position oriented, being in one position for awhile.

Movement oriented maybe there’s some cracking/popping, maybe some long term pain you’ve had for awhile and only you know exactly how it goes…
There’s not much we can do without a diagnosis.

Even if you do get a diagnosis and it is bone related… we are gonna need some help.
We are going to need chiropractic or PT to help us get you mobile around your issue.
Then we can come in with Pilates and get you stable and strong.
Pilates is not curative when it comes to instabilities in the bones, it’s more treatment based once we get things in order.

Do cures happen? Sometimes. I’ve done it to myself many times.

The majority of the time it’s not the case.

With the right diagnosis and help we can get you MORE stable and at least get your issue to let you know before it’s going to act up.

I can do a lot, I mean a lot. I just can’t fix vertebrae or a sacrum that’s off kilter. We need to get it put in place then I will help support it in its stable position.
Go get a diagnosis.
Then, let’s get to work

See…. They won’t even let me say it…

I’ve been looking for years.
Today I found one.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

If you want to get it done you gotta follow the process.
There is a beginning, middle, and end for a reason.
I recently hired a trainer to drop 47.5% of cellular debris… adipose tissue 😂😂.
She has a process and each part of that process will get me to our agreed upon point in my journey.
If I try to change the process I will get different results. Maybe those results will be better, maybe not, but then I’m not in the process anymore.
I understood this from the start and so I told her I would commit to HER process for 12 weeks.
We have had a few things come up along the way in that my body can’t handle as much protein as she recommends.
We discussed it, and she was able to make changes to more plant based for me.
So I’m still in HER process but it has been tailored a bit to what’s best for my situation.
Pilates is like this. .
You have to get into the process of understanding the basics. Which, by the way, you do throughout your journey in Pilates. The basics and the concepts behind them change as you progress in the work.
It’s still the same thing it’s just that you approach it differently.
So think about your process of teaching. What is it that you are asking from your clients?
Have you given the right process to get them to where you want them to go?
If so what is that process?

Thank you Matthew.
I am honored and humbled that you made that piece.
Truly one of the most beautiful, meaningful gifts ever.
You make me wish I was still dancing…..
I forgot how special that world of creating is and how wonderful the people are who are in it.

My trip to Austin visiting Jack for his 21st birthday.
Nutshell

My trip to Austin…. Nutshell

Velma is just so…. How can I say it…. Herself.
