Are we already more than half way through February? We are SO ready for spring! 
Did you know Joseph Pilates studied martial arts, gymnastics and the movement of animals to develop his methods and orders? 
Check out this short video on how Pilates was born, it’s incredible to see yourself in these moves! Don’t worry, no one stands on anyone in classes today, this is Jospeh Pilates and his wife Clara having “fun”.

Our lives are full of transitions, we are always in transition. A new body, a new house, a new job, a child born, a child growing up and moving to college, a vacation, a death of a friend, a big date, a changing season are just a few of the thousands of things that ebb and flow and make us hold our breath for a moment until we realize in order to have the next thing, something has to be let go of. 
Simone Keelah Brathwaite has an amazing article on The Art of Transition https://simonekeelah.medium.com/the-art-of-the-transition-5f98508951f
