Ouchh! My knee

Two summers ago, I fell and hurt my knee hiking. My knee is sliding a bit, but I am not in pain. Working with imagery of embodied anatomy of the Franklin Method, with Amy Mathhews, BodyMind Centering and Yoga and working with my Pilates teacher, I feel great. It is constant attention to working with form and function. If I don't keep my practice going, my knee starts feeling funky.

How Bartending helped My Pilates Career.

In running a Pilates Studio and training teachers, I am seeing new teachers having problems developing a practice and following. Many teachers run in seconds before their sessions begin. They need to know the importance of making connections with clients and learning their fitness goals, levels and injuries.

When I was bartending, making any kind of contact improved my tip. When I did not, the tip amount went down. It could have been as simple as talking about the weather. Making your service personalize is how to begin to create a following in addition to your education as a teacher.

Last week I took class with a teacher who was not developing a following in her classes and privates. She did come early, but made no attempt to talk to students waiting for her class. While wa
