Client of the Month:
Julie Kenney
How long have you been studying Pilates?
Julie: 8 years
What brought you to Pilates?
Julie: To be perfectly honest, the Winsor Pilates infomercials with Daisy Fuentes is what brought me to Pilates originally. I used to do the DVDs in my living room and saw some results...I eventually stopped because it is no fun doing a work out in your house, by yourself. And looking back, I wasn't doing all the exercises correctly.
What brought me to June Hines Pilates is wanting to find something to get me back in shape after I had my first child. I wanted something more structured than DVDs at home and Googled to find a place near me. 6 weeks after my first child, I started and have been hooked ever since. And I'm happy to say I'm in much better shape than I was before both my kids.

How has Pilates helped you?
Julie: Finding June Hines Pilates has been one of the best things I have ever done. It has helped me both physically and mentally. Leaving a session, it feels like I not only worked out, but had an hour therapy session. All the instructors are so brilliant and customize a session just for you. They never miss a beat, and for a good hour of my day, the focus is on me...hard to come by as a working mother. Pilates allows me to connect to myself, release unwanted stress, strengthen, and build. I feel stronger and more in control of my body than ever. This is important to me because I have multiple sclerosis. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and I attribute much of my symptom-free disease to my practice and focus on wellness.
June Hines Pilates is such a positive environment. I wish everyone could experience it.

Pilates and You
Rosemary Hinkle's Teaser in Antarctica
Rosemary and Alan Hinkle traveled to Antarctica recently and brought their Pilates with them.
The teaser is a challenging exercise as it requires, strength, flexibility, balance and control. When learning the exercise, your teacher gives the student an assist by holding the legs in the 45 degree angle as the student rolls up to reach to the "V" shape of the teaser.
