THE END OF WINTER APPROACHES...
 Don't forget that Daylight Savings begins on March 14 at 2:00AM! It's the start of longer days and shorter nights, bathing suit and beach season!
All of us at Purely Pilates want to thank you for continuing to choose us to help you stay healthy and fit. As we leave the cold winter weather behind and spring ahead to sunnier weather, take advantage of our newest group classes or private / semi-private Pilates sessions as cross-training for your other outdoor activities -- Schedule a session (or two) today!
You may have noticed we've changed the Springs & Pulley class listings online to "Tower / S&P Classes". It's still the same class, just a new name.
See you in the studio soon!

PURELY PILATES INSTRUCTORS "POWER UP" IN LAS VEGAS
Many of us who teach at Purely Pilates just came back from the Power Pilates "Power UP" Conference in Las Vegas. So, what did we do besides spend a little time in "Sin City" over the Valentine's Day / Presidents' Day weekend?
ALLISON
I’ve attended a Power Pilates teacher trainer enhancement every year since we became the Bay Area Affiliate Center for Power Pilates. It’s how I keep my credentials up as a teacher trainer. I know that my clients are always afraid of me when I come back jazzed after this three day mix of business, health science and of course the Pilates Method. This year was especially interesting because Power Pilates is now part of a bigger company, called Apogee which also owns a Rugby team. We were in Las Vegas so that it coincided with a big Rugby tournament. Guess what? Rugby players do Pilates too! Anyway, it was an exciting, energy filled week.
EMILY
There were so many great classes and presenters, I wish I could have attended every one. The highlights for me were Muscle Activation Techniques ( for recovery from Injuries), Anatomy of the Cervical and Thoracic Spine, and of course The Jumpboard with Bob Liekens. I’m not a big fan of Las Vegas, but I really liked the Hard Rock Hotel. It has an awesome spa.
JENN
I had a great time in "Vegas, baby"! I met up with old friends (Karen and Samantha), networked with other classical instructors and learned some great new variations of exercises to add specifically into my Intermediate Reformer classes (Jumpboard, anyone?) and private sessions. I always feel energized after going to a conference and look forward to sharing my new knowledge with my clients.
KATHY
I grew up in Vegas, so it was great to attend my first Power Pilates conference and meet up with family and friends too! I attended Introductory Tower Workshop, Wunda Chair Workshop, and Ladder Barrel workshop. I'm excited to share some of this new knowledge with clients!
