WAVES OF GROWTH

Waves of growth run through my inner parts
Sitting still in much solitude, searching deeper into the hearts.

 

Guarding firmly beliefs that have meaning to me

Like gathering precious shells given up by the sea.

 

It's a place alone.... that no other can go

A joy, such sorrow, the tears just flow.

 

Questions are shallow...Answers even more brief

Resting of mind bring on much relief.

 

A gap, a hole, a time in a life

where healing is necessary, a dislodging of strife.

 

I still use my senses although it's not my home

 Adapting to inner conscience around people or alone.

 

At times it seems so selfish to strain for possibilities

But better knows my Creator the ways He's fashioned me.

 

Many trials come at me, the temptation's to stand still

I chose love, humility & courage of my free and personal will.

 

So, Waves of Growth run through my inner parts

I wait, I rest, I chose action & learn while the next season starts.

Pilates Lifestyle

Life is Motion. Pilates is Movement for Life.

For so many of us, Pilates is much more than an exercise method - it is a way of life.

A fusion of the mind and body based on the reawakening of dormant muscle and brain cells, Pilates gives us the opportunity to live a life where the gap between functional motion and enlivened thought has been bridged.

Real People, Real Pilates, Real Stories

Throughout the years we've heard people tell us how the benefits of Pilates have changed their lives - sometimes dramatically. We think you should hear them, too…
 

Having a Balanced Body

No matter who we are or what shape we are in, we feel how Pilates enhances the everyday activities of our lives - whether it’s just bending over to pick up the newspaper or running a 26-mile marathon. And by becoming ingrained in our thought process it can move beyond the physical realm - essentially teaching us to effectively manage our entire being while providing a positive connection to our sense of self.
