Were you considering taking the Pilates Foundation Course that started on Tuesday? It’s not too late to begin! One big advantage to this Foundation is the class size, it’s small. You’ll have a unique opportunity to receive more one-on-one attention and specific modifications to suit your needs.
Online registration is open until the end of the week. Don’t delay, sign up today, and show up at MGY2 a little before 7pm this evening.
No more talking yourself out of a good thing — if you questioned your place in this course, give it a try, take the doubt out and replace it with curiosity.
Here’s to beginning! 
Glenda will be traveling to Michigan to study with Judith Hanson Lasater, a renown yoga teacher who specializes in Restorative Yoga, from 10.17 – 10.21.2016.

Do you know that Arrie has a brother? Well, he does! Trey Tucker is an accomplished Certified Personal Trainer in Austin and he’s visiting Nacogdoches on October 15th. While in town, he wants to offer a workshop on foam rolling and it just so happens we have brand new foam rollers. It’s perfect, really. Well, it will be once we have you (or the first 15 students) make a reservation to attend!
Trey Tucker will offer a donation-based one hour workshop to teach techniques and discuss benefits of self-myofascial release or “foam rolling.”
The basics of how to roll all the major muscle groups will be taught as well as the the benefits and contraindications. The class will consist of basic anatomy identification for better understanding and plenty of time to roll and feel the effects of self-myofascial release first hand. Q&A to follow.
Trey Tucker is owner and trainer at PowerHouseATX, a gym in Austin, Texas. Trey grew up playing competitive sports, from t-ball to semi-pro football, and has a passion for improving performance, health, and wellness. To this end he has obtained numerous certifications and has clocked hundreds of hours working in corrective exercise, sports performance, and weight loss. Trey believes that the only way to achieve a healthy lifestyle is to make fitness enjoyable. Trey’s goal is to help others become stronger, leaner, faster, and a healthier version of themselves.
So, come meet Arrie’s brother (yay!) and learn proper form and creative and effective techniques from a certified trainer to foam roll your way into greater well-being.
This donation class is limited to 15 students only.
Participants must be able to stand up from and get down on the floor with relative ease.
Please email [email protected] to reserve your place. In the subject line please include [First and Last Name] and [Foam Rolling 101]. You will receive a confirmation email of your reservation.

Balanced Body Pilates is a mind body focused exercise regimen. Pilates challenges the mind to control mobile, flexible limbs while sustaining a strong, stable core. Pilates consists of low-impact floor exercises which take the stress off of the body’s joints. You can expect to move in positions such as; plank, ab curl, neutral spine, and inverting on a curved spine. There are modifications for every exercise providing all students with options.
