Free Pilates & Yoga in the Par,

Saturday, July 10th

11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Duboce Park

“Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, there providence moves also. All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no one could have dreamed could ever come his way.”

- W.N. Murray, Scottish Himalayan Expedition

Spring/summer

Workshops & Retreats

Pilates & Yoga in the Park is a free event, as much social as exercise, on Saturday, July 10th at 11:00 AM. Join me and fellow trainers and friends for a day of fun in the sun (or it could be fitness in the fog...this is San Francisco in July) Please RSVP and bring a bag lunch.

Dancing with Michael

I've whipped together all sorts of music and styles in this heart pounding, non-stop, dance-exercise class. I'll show you how to make the most of your moves whether they're ballet or hip-hop. Each session repeats and builds upon the sequence learned the previous week, so after just a few classes you're performing a sophisticated dance combination like a pro.

Your first class is free! Thereafter you can take a single class for $15 or purchase a non-expiring package of 10 classes for $120.

I teach at the Harvey Milk Recreation Center (corner of Duboce and Scott Streets), Friday mornings 9:30 - 10:30 AM.

Tuesday Group Circuit Training

7:00 PM on Tuesday evenings a small group of us meet for group training. This circle of exercise stations motivates you to workout harder than you would alone and let's you bounce ideas off others in the group. Conversation, comradery and creative thinking flows when you're moving. You might make friends for life. At $20 per class it also gives you a big bang for your buck. Class size is limited to six intelligent, friendly, well spoken participants, so contact me if you'd like to join us.

Exercise for Cancer Patients

My recent journey as a caregiver for a life imperiled loved one has inspired me to return to my work with cancer survivors. I am now a registered provider with Sunflower Wellness. If you or someone you know might benefit form life affirming movement, please contact me for assistance. You can also read about my perspective on caregiver challenges by reading my latest story posted on the Fiction Page of this site.

Free Weight Loss Group

Are you frustrated by an elusive weight loss goal? You are not alone. "Never on Sunday" is a mindful eating training program. It's a free, online blog/support group. We commit to a different diet challenge every week with weekends off. You'll need a google email account (also free) to join the conversation, but you can participate in the diets without it, simply by visiting the site at:

Studio Upgrades

This is the season for outdoor training and my garden is in its fourth year of glorious bloom. Let the sunshine smile upon you while you flex your muscles. Agility ladder, medicine balls, TRX straps and yoga props are all options for us to train in the garden or across the street at Duboce Park.

Education

The Loft SF

I've completed the Yoga Loft's series of teacher training workshops. Now for the tough part, actually teaching yoga. It will likely take me all summer to navigate the apprentice hours under the direction of my mentor Jason Crandel.
