Text Box: NOTES FROM INSIDE THE STUDIO HAPPY NEW YEAR AND BLESSINGS FOR A PROSPEROUS 2008. We’ll open our doors to 2008 with a fun and vigorous GYROKINESIS® class on January 3rd at 10am. Take your spine through a full flow class of arching, curling, twisting and bending to stretch the holiday tired body. This class will be an hour and a half class of bringing your body into the New Year and centering for the upcoming year. We would appreciate your advanced notice if you will be attending. This will be an ongoing class on Thursday mornings at 10am. An hour and a half class for the price of and hour! PILATES albuquerque is so delighted to be obtaining a NEW! piece of GYROTONIC® equipment that we have been on a waiting list for 3-years. We will be the proud owners of a GYROTONER®. Juliu Horvath developed the movements that one can perform on the GYROTONER® so that various muscle groups, tendons and ligaments in the spine, arms, hips, legs and ankles, among other body parts, could be strengthened and stretched simultaneously while the user consciously engages breathing patterns when executing the movements. The energy channels running throughout the body are thus stimulated, and the overall effect on the mind and body can be profound. The equipment is being shipped to us from Hungary and should arrive in the studio sometime mid January. We will have an introductory lesson package that will be posted as soon as all is in place. GYROKINESIS® will be back for an evening course on Tuesday evenings January 22 through February 26th. If you have not participated in this class it is the non-equipment component to the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®. The work helps the body find the natural movements of arching, curling, twisting and bending while using breath patterns to calm the nervous system and bring full flexibility into the body. This will be a progressive class that is sure to teach each participant ways to find length and strength within the body for grace and freedom in movement. PILATES albuquerque will be offering our clients a boost in Studio $Dollar$ Accounts one more time during the week of January 3-10. We will boost your account by 10% for every dollar you deposit into your account. This works just like an investment account! This is our way of saying thank you for another year of service that we are allowed to offer you and to give you incentive to do 10% more work in the studio to boost your body, mind and spirit into 2008! See us at the front desk for your BOOST INTO 2008! NOTES FROM THE FRONT DESK PILATES albuquerque will have a slight increase in the posted rates for services. We have made this change only to make our rates inclusive of the Gross Receipt Tax. Each service has been increased to include tax and round up to the nearest dollar amount. This is in an effort to make the front desk process more streamlined for our staff and less complex for our clients. If you have questions please see the front desk for help. Please note that we will be making an effort to organize early registration for our monthly classes. We will be asking our clients to register and pay for upcoming month classes the last week of the current month. This is in an effort to better organize and staff our classes. Our staff would greatly appreciate your help in this organizational effort. THANK YOU. HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM OUR STAFF TO YOU! BLESSINGS IN YOUR 2008.
