Hello Fellow Pilates Enthusiast!

Get in touch

I know some of you are counting down the days till Fall but I’m hanging on to the last days of Summer. It’s been a great and busy summer!

In July I launched the On-Line Pilates Video Library and TODAY! I am releasing new videos in each of the categories. In Level 1 It’s a fundamentals video that breaks down pelvis movements, articulation vs stability, shoulder movements and supporting these movements with breath. Level 2 there is a quick video of the Fab. 5 abdominal exercises. In Specialties there’s a authentic TLC video for when you’ve done a good solid walk! When making this video I was thinking about how great a frozen water bottle would feel under my feet but the tennis ball did just fine. Then lastly, the 10 min. Glute and Hips video.. OH WOW! Such a great video. After I wrote up this workout and did it myself, I had to get dinner made and I while I was standing, I felt so much support coming from those muscles. I put these videos at the front of the line ;-) I will be recording Level 3 in the coming weeks and at the end of September that category will be available.

I am launching a promo for the NEXT 5 people who sign-up for the On-Line Pilates Video Subscription . Those 5 will get a Heidi’s Spot canvas tote. I love mine so much, it has a zipper so items won’t fall out and a small pocket in the front. I use mine all the time for Taliah’s competitions. I can stuff everything in it or when Peter and I go for a picnic, plane rides (great for carry on) or, as Taliah likes to use hers, for quick overnight stays with her friends. I only have 5 of these left! Click the link here to sign up today! I will contact you via- email for your mailing address, so check your junk email.

We have ONE MORE Thursday evening for the Monthly Pilates and Cider Event at Unio Hill Cider. That will be on September 21st at 6pm. Sign up by clicking the link and pay at the door. We will be back on a Saturday starting in October which will also be our 1 YEAR Anniversary!!!! Say what!?!? Check out the pictures below from our last event.

I have to give a client shout out! This client came to me in April 2022 with neck issues. Honestly, for myself I excited since I had literally just gotten done with “The Cervical Powerhouse” workshop and I was able to jump right into what I learned.. and WOW the information, set up and exercises were spot on! I know my client had doubts at first, but as always, we found a middle ground and what started at a 10 second neck lift hold ended with a 1 min hold! What started as tension and shaking in her neck on curl and reach ended with a curl and reach hold! Before she knew it, she was and still is getting stronger. She would come in and say, “I can hold my plank now and be sure in it”, “I can now go mountain biking and be ok”, “I can go for a hike and carry my backpack on my shoulders” THIS IS WHAT SUCCESS looks like in the Pilates world. It’s pretty exciting to see and watch. It didn’t happen overnight but nothing ever does. Keep up the great work.

That’s all for now! Have a wonderful last days of summer.

xoxo,

Heidi

Hey there! Happy New Year! How many times have you had to re-write the year at the top of your checks? I have definitely had to double check mine.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

By Heidi • December 20, 2024

What a fabulous Year for the studio. So many new faces came into the studio by way of Workshops, Privates and Mat Classes. If that was you, I hope you had a great experience here and we’d love to see back in. For those who are regulars here at Heidi’s Spot give yourself a pat on the back! You have come so far, more self body awareness, becoming stronger, having a better understanding of the Pilates method, getting out of pain and of course the BIGGEST part- YOU DID NOT QUIT!! You pushed past all the discomfort and hard stuff. You are more flexible, stronger, and more in control of your body. I am so proud of you and again, it’s what keeps me teaching. Seeing bodies change, finding new hope and the commitment that you put in makes me want to come along beside you and help meet your goals. Thank you again for trusting me to help you. May you have a Wonderful Christmas and New Year with people you love.

Happy Thanksgiving

By Heidi • November 25, 2024

The more you are thankful the more you can see things to be thankful for. In this season of Thanksgiving, I have to first start off with my Family. I am so thankful for my family’s love and support. We are in a really great season with our kids and it warms my heart that we seem to be seeing and being with each other more this past year. As the kids are growing up and doing their thing, Peter and I now can go and do our own thing. It’s like dating again, I am here for it. Pilates, oh man am I ever thankful for Pilates. After my injury back in July, I was so thankful that I now know a fellow instructor here that was able to mentor and train me. 3 Months later because of constant Pilates practice and doing my homework for my injury. It was as if it never even happened. You! I am so Thankful for you! For your trust in me with your Pilates practice, your commitment to your practice and to the studio and for your encouragement to me! Together, we can get your body feeling the best. Thank you again. I know life can throw us curve balls of disappointments and set backs, and maybe in a moment in time we need to feel that so that when we are done processing them, we can find the good and give thanks for where we end up. May you find thankfulness in your life not just today but every day. Happy Thanksgiving, Heidi

Hello Everyone If you were looking for perfect walking weather it is here and now! I have been enjoying my walks. My Body differently needs a good stretch and roll out after. I usually set my timer for the amount of time I have and I roll out my Quads, IT bands, hips and glutes. I don’t have to spend a lot of time, I mean I could, but a little goes a long way. Then I get my standard leg stretches in, Hamstring, IT band, hip and Quads. If I have extra time, I’ll do my calves as well. If I didn’t do these things, I would be feeling it later… The tightness would start and discomfort will set it. The enjoyable walk will something of past. Now because I cared for myself after, I know I’ll have a nice night’s sleep. We do Pilates because it teaches us how to care for ourselves.

May Updates

By Heidi Garcia • May 24, 2024

Hello Pilates Enthusiast! Seriously I am asking myself where May went. My daughter’s schedule was and still is jam packed with activities back to back. Phew- June starts the busy time at the Pilates studio with young athletes coming in for their privates, time off and of course taking my daughter to her summer activities. I’m going to run down the summer schedule, but I will also send out quick reminders of them when we come up to them. Lastly, as always the vagaro schedule will be a true reflexion of my schedule, so if that day, time isn’t open, that is what that means. If I need to open up my Friday morning to accommodate schedules, I am open to doing that during the summer months. As always, if you need your expiration date pulled out due to my time off, please let me know. The clients whom I charge, has their expiration date pulled out since I know when I’m gone when I charge them.
