onine classes have resumed!
News from Studio 504
MARCH 2025
On February 17, I disappeared up the central coast of California to recover in San Luis Obispo and try to recoup some of my lost wages. I am teaching the GYROTONIC methodology at INTEGRATED MOVEMENT for a few weeks. I will be returning on March 7, but I will only be home for a few days. I have a planned vacation to visit my son and his family, who all moved to North Carolina last summer. I'm travelling on a Wednesday and returning on a Tuesday, so a few classes will have a modified schedule, while others will return to their regular time slots for the first time since December 2024! I am super excited!
Meanwhile, I moved back into my home two days before coming here -- it’s disorganized, there's no insulation and still lots of repairs to get done, but we are blessed to be able to be back in a home. And to have a kitty too!
Thanks, as ever, for your amazing support and understanding during this rocky period in the new year. I am truly grateful to all of you who continued to use videos or attend the few classes I was able to pull together. I realize it was equally challenging for you to keep up your fitness regimes as it was for me to try to provide a level of service you all deserve. My heartfelt thanks to all of you!

Do you have a foam roller, flex band or fitness circle that you haven’t been using?
All of these props offer facilitated stretching exercises that are the perfect answer to either tight or sore muscles. As many of you change up your routines and head back to the gym, please consider treating yourself to one of these recordings. I now offer three new 30-minute videos that can be accessed through the video on demand (VoD) program. Just let me know which one(s) you want to try.
Fitting a regular stretch routine into your fitness program is one of the smartest choices you can make for yourself! If you don’t have specialty props, just sign up for the Flexibility Fitness videos instead. Those routines utilize a chair, small squishy balls, and a rope or yoga strap. Each week on Wednesday afternoons you will get a new routine. The month of March has 4 Wednesdays, so the cost will be $30 for the month, or $7.50 per week. April has 5 weeks @ $37.50 for the entire month.

I hope you’ll join me! and I hope you will enjoy this new way to stay connected when work and life’s events get in the way of classes!
