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.

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.
Joseph Pilates said it best, “Physical Fitness is the first requisite of happiness.”

Please join us in our newly renovated studio, MGY2, this Sunday, September 11th at 2pm!
Come and meet our newest teacher, Glenda Webb, and enjoy an introduction to Restorative Yoga, a style of yoga new to our regular class schedule!
Restorative Yoga is appropriately named as it restores, relaxes and renews the body and mind to a calm and deeply relaxed state. Yoga poses are supported with blankets, blocks, and bolsters as breathing techniques are coordinated. The body is supported in the asana for up to ten minutes which allows the body to progressively relax, reducing stress and anxiety. This benefits overall health, reduces the effects of stress related diseases, promoting balance in a culture that prides itself in multitasking.
As you know, this Sunday is 9/11. We chose to introduce this class on this day intentionally to hold a safe and comfortable space for all to practice stillness, reflection, and unity. We hope you’ll join us.
Where: MGY2, 409 East Main Street, Please use North entrance
