NEW SAN MIGUEL CLASSES TO BEGIN

I am working on a teaching space in San Miguel as I would like to offer new classes starting sometime in Jan. for the next three months. Stay tuned.



What is Yoga-Lates
Yoga-Lates combines Yoga and Pilates moves that target the deepest core muscle sets called the transverse abdominals using the large stability ball.
This core strengthening is the key to the bodies power, stability, and vitality.
The Swiss Ball makes the moves fun and available to all levels of current fitness. This class will also use the ballet bar and floor exercises in rotation with the large ball. You will need a Yoga mat.

a recent recomendation from Susan Nuelist of San Miguel
I have just finished my 10 sessions of private classes with Mari Osa and I will tell you that it was very much worth the money and the effort. I started in good shape, but really wanted to strengthen my core muscles as I am off to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago for 40 days. I thought that this would be perfect for me as I will be carrying a backpack for this Camino. Now I have the mental and physical confidence to activate my core muscles to help spare some of the others which will undoubtedly become tired. My thanks go to Mari Osa who is patient, kind and knowledgeable and really encouraged me to keep on going. I never missed an appt and am grateful that I was able to do this. I recommend her to anyone who has the desire to change their strength.

The Amazing Story of Beth

Beth was coming to my open class on the big ball on Sundays for some time. She was also doing another form of very physical exersize that was giving her great arm strength but one Sunday when she could not perform one of the core moves I demonstrated she frustratingly said," Why can't I do that??"
I don't know what made me give her such a quick answer but I simply said, because you are not training your core with me and coming only once a week will not be enough. So she immediately took up the challenge and arranged two times a week schedule with me. I told her she would only need 10 sessions to come into full empowerment with her core as she was already in very good shape. Despite some challenging personal times she committed and followed through even adding 3 more days a week of another core building class someone else was doing. Her dedication paid off big time. It only took her 7 private sessions to achieve the very highest level of core moves that I could teach her. Her dedication was admirable and I am so proud of the hard work she put in. This is her "graduation" photo. Now life is just a matter a keeping the core strength through in your everyday life. Once you have it maintaining it is not so hard. Congratulations to Beth. She did a fantastic job.
