What’s New In Brooklyn and Pilates

Lou will be teaching her amazing Pilates Mat Class at Pier 6 (at the end of Atlantic Ave) starting June 18th- the end of September, every Thursday night at 7pm.  It will be a Sunset Class, Free of charge . We will be working out right in front of the water facing the city and the Brooklyn Bridge. So Pier 6 has the dog park and Lou doing Pilates..what could be better than that. We hope you can join us…I’m so excited to be part of the Brooklyn Bridge Park scene.

This Intermediate/Advanced class will be for those who already have Pilates experience, no beginners please. The class is done to music and consentrates on stretching, good posture, upper body strength and stabilization and serious core work.      

The class is an hour  long ending as the sun goes down behind the city.  It’s spectacular. You will need to bring a thick mat, since we’ll be working on the cement and a dynaband. If you don’t have a band I will be selling them for $10.00 a piece. Please contact me if you need to purchase one.

All information about the class will be listed on the Brooklyn Bridge Park’s website. Please click on the address below, download and fill out the waiver and bring it to class.

These Piers are amazing. It’s a wonderful time to live in Brooklyn. Can’t wait to see the end results of the other Pier’s and the bike route.

Kathy Grant: ‘A Magnetic Life Force’

The Pilates World has lost another great Mentor/Teacher. Kathy Grant died last week. Read all about her achievements and life in the Pilates Pro.   (Click on the link above.)

Our thoughts and prayers goes out to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti, and our sweet animals that have been effected by the oil spills.

Buddie is doing well in City Island. She’ll be with the Squirrel Lady till mid Sept . Then she’ll be brought upstate for a soft release. Maura is looking for  another squirrel who is compatible with her so they can be released  together and watch each others backs. So far there is a squirrel in Brooklyn named Sammy who has been raised by a couple. In would be very interesting for 2 Brooklyn, home raised squirrels to end up together.




Daylight Savings Time

When told the reason  for the daylight saving time the Old Indian said, “Only the Government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.”
