Bring a brown bag picnic lunch and a friend for a free exercise class in 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.”

Workshops & Retreats

Join me and fitness trainers Paul Kunsberg and Deanna Brolly for a free exercise and social event at Duboce Park on Saturday, August 23 from 10:00 - 11:30 AM. Bring a brown bag picnic lunch. We can walk to my studio for beverages after the class. We'll start with a unison group warmup, separate into a round of various exercise stations using BOSU, stability ball, dumb bells, foam rollers and TRX functional training straps. then pair up for a little partnered yoga. This adventure is free, but space is limited so contact me to RSVP and enroll.

Sole Synthesis is the name of the dance group exercise class that I teach each Thursday morning at 9:00 AM at Gold's gym - Castro. It's barefoot cardio at a controlled pace using light hand weights and simple lunging patterns that reference ballet and yoga poses.

Thank you to the many attendees of my client appreciation day brunch on May 18th. It was a spectacular and elegant party.

Over this Memorial Weekend I taught an early morning fitness workshop at the spring retreat of the California Men’s Gathering in Malibu.

I've returned to teaching ballet. The intermediate class is held at 9:00 AM every Monday at the Sports Club LA, located on Market Street in the Four Season's Hotel.

Studio Upgrades

There is now a Chin-Up bar installed in my studio. It's located over some steps so that those of you who can't yet pull yourself up can walk up to the bar and lower yourself down. Eventually we'll get you to do it without the steps.

I've purchased a set of TRX straps that allow us to explore suspended body weight exercises. You get to hang in space with these things. Fun!

I'm now the proud owner of an agility ladder that allows us to run speed drills either inside the studio or down the garden path.

Education

On June 28th I'll attend "Shift Happens: The Neuroscience of Behavior Change" taught by Paul Taylor. When are we responsible for our own actions and when are we in the grip of biological forces beyond our control? To answer this, we must explore how mind, body, brain and the environment interact to influence how we behave and ultimately determine who we are.
