I’m hosting a Pilates Party, much like an Open House, on September 10th to welcome my new Pilates Reformers, and you.  Come and try a free class, watch a demo and pop a party balloon for your chance to win a free five class pass. I’ll also be more than happy to answer any questions you have about Yoga, Pilates or Fitness.

Plus… its a party, so I promise some lovely non alcoholic bubbly, or lemon water, and a healthy indulgence of my favourite treat, but you’ll have to come to see what it is.

Space is limited to five for the free classes, so do let me know via email sarah@loewenbehold.ca, or phone (250)733-0763 if you would like a spot.

Pilate on!

For all of you in the vicinity of my Shawnigan Lake Studio, here is my class schedule for the Fall.

Can’t wait!

Reformer (Small Group Personal Training) –  Re “form”yourself.  Literally. The Reformer makes a dramatic impression when you first see it, and an even more dramatic change in your body when you use it. Lengthen and tighten muscles from top to bottom like never before in this small group personal training session.  (Max 5 people)

Better Your Bootie
Everything you’ve asked for! This strength based class will include exercises for your whole body, but promises to target where you want it most. Be prepared for balls, bars, bands and pretty much everything we can dream up to ensure you feel these muscles in new and enlivening ways.

Body Blast – Only time for one class in the week?  We’ve put everything into this hour and promise not a moment will be wasted. We’ll blast every muscle you’ve ever wanted in ways you’ve never dreamed of, using all sorts of equipment. Results, results, results.

Yoga Pilates Blend– We know how busy life is, so we’ve combined the very best of Yoga and Pilates into one class.  Strength, flexibility, stress relief and abs of steel.  This truly is one stop shopping.

The first time I walked into a studio full of Pilates equipment, I was afraid. One look at all the racks, ropes and springs and I was quite sure I had walked into entirely the wrong place.  I had no idea it would change my life.

I’m not a fan of acres of expensive equipment, preferring simple outdoor putsuits, and I don’t like anything with a guru type of focus, so it still surprises me that I love Pilates as much as I do, but its because it works. Initially designed for patients in hospital beds. Pilates exercises focus on strengthening the core, the abs and back in a way no other exercise does. The full body functional movements are all about quality, not quantity, and the results are profound.  Atheletes and the average Joe (Pilates inventor – Joe Pilates) can benefit from Pilates.

For more on the benefits of Pilates, and how it was developed, please check out Balanced Body’s About Pilates Page.

You can practice Pilates Matwork in the comfort of your own living room, but I have to tell you that I am so jazzed about working on the Reformer that I recently purchased five of them. I am super stoked to be offering Reformer classes in my very own funky studio this fall.

I’ll be posting my schedule here on my website, but by all means if you’d like to know more send me an email at sarah@loewenbehold.ca

Pilate On!   Classes start the week of September 6th.
