Hello to Everybody
I have heard there is a big one off Pilate's event in London in the UK and Edinburgh in Scotland.
I have added the link which takes you to the page for all the details if you are interested in attending, sadly I will not be able to make it.

Indian Dancers Performing.

This is a picture I took when I was in India. I just love it , the elegance, poise and great control of movement by these amazing dancers , who all practised some form of yoga as a part of their dance training, as I found out when I chatted to them afterwards. I took the shot whilst I was attending a Yoga training camp, whilst there I was invited to a banquet held for a local dignitary. A fantastic evening had by all. Hope you like it.
Wishing You All Good Health.

Lets sway those sexy hips into shape.
Hips are area that cause many women sleepless nights. Toning, shaping, and tightening the hips will make you look and feel sexy. Pilate’s leg kick exercises are a great way to tone and shape the hips. Check out the Pilate’s leg kicks exercise below.
Pilate’s Leg Kicks.
Lie on your side with your body in a straight line. Place your top hand on the ground for support, and prop your head up with the other arm. Move your legs out again, just a bit for support. Extend your top leg up slowly toward the ceiling. Point your toes toward the ceiling. Tighten up your abs and exhale while you slowly lower your leg…imagine you are tightening up a belt a few extra notches than normal, pull that tummy in. Do it for 8 times, and then switch to do the other leg. As you get better build up the reps to about 15 each side. Remember slow controlled movements up and down.
As always regular practice is very important with all exercise and don't forget good eating habits and everything in moderation will help you to get in shape and looking and feeling great.
I saw a really great Pilate's DVD a few days ago called "Quick Start Pilate's for Weight Loss" by Ana Cabon. It shows you how simple it can be to get a Pilate's body,which is easier than ever with a Pilate's workout that focuses more on the core to kick-start metabolism. This 30-minute power-Pilate's program encourages faster results with a minimal time commitment to workouts, ideal if you have a busy schedule and with the same healthful, lifelong-lifestyle approach that Pilate's Lifestyle encourages. It also includes a great BONUS audio CD and exclusive online access to a 64-page weight loss/nutrition guide with power tips for weight loss success.
Check it out using the link below and see the other great reviews it received and I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

If you have problems with the link you can check out in the Pilate's Lifestyle store with some other great products. The link is on the right hand side.
I will leave you with a little quote from somebody you have all probably heard of a man called Oscar Wilde, food for thought. He once said quote " The aim of life is self-development. T o realize one's nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for.
Wishing you all Good Health.
