New Custom Wall Unit

Mike Padykula at Kula Solutions made us an awesome new wall unit! We replaced our old springboard and worked with Mike to design another wall unit that allows us to do push-through exercises in trios. We also now have the advantage of the poles to hold during leg spring exercises. The new push-through bar is extra wide to accommodate people with very broad or tight shoulders, and both the push-through and roll-back bars are slightly thicker than normal, which allows for a more relaxed and comfortable grip! Mike also fashioned us new box mats for our existing wall unit and the new one, along with moonboxes. We love them.

Cleaning up the Lines

This week saw the arrival of our newly reupholstered Pilates mats. Mike at Kula Solutions (http://www.kulasolutions.com/) helped us out changing the ugly bright orange mats to black, to blend with our other equipment and quit distracting from our awesome new color scheme.

One idea this aesthetics work has brought up for me is moving and taking in the scenery, without passing judgement on it. We're so wired to place a value on everything; it's extremely relaxing to follow a spiraling GYROTONIC® line with the eyes while you're doing handles, without allowing what you see to trigger your consciousness. In my personal practice I think this has made room for greater self-acceptance as well, being in the body and trying to excel without passing judgement or wishing it were at a level it's not.
