Pilates and Teens

This was definitley a very wet week! But thank goodness Southern Califoria is getting some much needed water. I remember being out at Lake Mead last summer as a family and feeling so sad at the realization of how low the water level was at the Lake. They actually had to close a marina that we usually launch at, because of the water level. I'm looking forward to this summer in hopes that some of the rainfall this year has helped. With the thought of that, comes the thought of summer and then of course comes the thought....yikes!! Not sure I am quite ready to put on that bathing suit quite yet! As I have said a million times before, I honestly LOVE Pilates because of the health benefits it offers everybody. It's not just about getting that nice looking "physique" but it's also about teaching your body to stand and work more efficiently. But lets face it, I'm a girl....and there is some vanity involved also!

In the next couple of weeks, I will be adding a 45 minute teen class. During volleyball season at Trabuco Hills High School I had the true blessing of working with the Girls volleyball team. I LOVED working with these girls. They have such a fun energy. Working with them I learned though, that these girls do not have the strength in their core that they need. This leaves a lot of room for injury. I am attaching a great article that I just recently read on the benefits of Pilates for teens. If you have friends with teen age daughters, please feel free to pass this on. As soon as I nail down a day, I will let you know.

As always, thank you so much for allowing me to work with you. I have such a passion for Pilates and I love teaching it and working with you all.
