A place to practice...

I just wanted to write this quick note to all of you mostly because today I meant to send out my Sunday Column and no matter how much I thought about it somehow I couldn't quite get it finished.
So, let me say "cheers" to starting over and to the hope of the Sunday column gracefully turning into the Monday column.
As we get ready for September there are so many things going on at the studio and even I am having a hard time keeping up with all of it.
It makes my head swim a little bit - the excitement, the hope, the energy - it's fantastic. But even though we are all busy and trying to do more there is still something that I find keeps me steady and grounded. The practice.
Every time the whirlwind begins I just remember that there is nothing expected of me. Not really. Just my own expectations. The only thing I can do is start over every day and appreciate the practice of starting over, the practice of being mindful - of all the good things and the bad, the mistakes and the little failures, the joys and the successes, the breakthroughs and the small achievements. Because after all, these small moments are what our lives are made of.
I hope that you all find the beauty in just practicing, of practicing Pilates. It's really just a thing that we do because it feels good. I hope to remember that during these busy times - keep it simple.
