To Zoom or not to Zoom…

So, when the Coronavirus came to town and we were driven inside our homes, businesses big and small shut down. For how long? We still don’t know. As much as all of us are scrambling to schedule and reschedule and reschedule, time seems to stand still. At the same time, a day can go by pretty fast in the land of “shelter at home”.

What to do? Well, studios, quite a bit bigger than mine got online right away with streaming classes. My tech challenged self-took a little longer to get my s@ #& together. But I am now offering 30-minute classes on Mon, Wed, and Fridays. Nothing as extensive as what I see coming from those bigger studios, but something…right? Right?

At the same time, I was watching fellow thespians posting at-home performances on Facebook. Singers, dancers, actors continuing to display their craft online while all of the performance venues and theatres are shuttered. I was contemplating doing a little “Cooped Up Cabaret” series but thought, you know, there’s already a lot out there to watch and enjoy. Besides, singing into the eye of one iPad doesn’t really inspire a brilliant rendition of anything…right? Right?

So, it got me thinking…what is our future? Is Remote our new Reality?
Recently, so much has been transferred from live, in person events to YouTube, Facebook, Insta-live and of course, Zoom. Fundraisers, Concerts, Plays, Mass, Happy Hour…it seems almost anything can be shifted to an online experience. But is it better? For now, it’s the only thing we have. But for those who claim this could be our new normal? Well, let’s hope not!

As a Pilates Trainer, I can tell you that no Zoom class can take the place of live interaction with your clients. They may like the very limited amount of corrections they get from me because I can’t see what everyone is doing half the time. But nothing can take the place of being in a real class versus a virtual one. I’m sure my clients agree…fingers crossed.

As an actor, no amount of “going viral” can take the place of performing in front of a living, breathing, feeling audience. All of us open to sharing stories about…us. As a theater goer, there is nothing like the live, electric, theatrical experience. As my best friend Robbin used to say, “No amount of “hits” can hit home like a great performance.”

So, where will we be after the world stutteringly returns to some sort of normal? Hopefully, back in the same room, with each other.

Work out smart! Hope to see all of us back in the gym!

My clients are always asking me how they can lose the weight. The obvious answer is, be consistent with your cardio. They hate that answer. “But it’s boring! What machines should I use and for how long? Do I have to?”

Yes, yes, and unfortunately, yes! So, it got me to thinking, if we all know what’s really good for us, why is it soooo hard to “just do it”? Because Cardio SUCKS!!!

Yoga vs. Pilates. What's the difference, really?

My clients often ask me; what is a better mind/body workout; Pilates or Yoga? As a Pilates trainer, you would think that I would immediately promote Pilates as the better workout. But I am fair and objective...

Temps in the 50s and a hint of sunshine... we'll take it! Here are 10 reasons why you should get outside for a walk today.

Might I suggest walking right on over to Bodiology for a reformer class?

Walking briskly has a myriad of health benefits. Learn what the studies have shown about the benefits of walking and how to make your outings more fun.

What happens if you're the only one to show up for a group reformer class? For an extra $20, we can do a private session. A killer deal and great way to still get your Pilates on!

Here's a great story about how transformative Pilates can be for your body and your mind. "After going to just one class every week for a month, I could see the difference in my body. For one , I could sit up; two, I felt stronger. I stood taller, moved better, was more positive and mindful of my body." http://buff.ly/1RU09g6

I feel like I should write something a little more Pilates-specific. How better than to tell you about my journey from n…

Here are three reasons why a reformer membership at Bodiology will rock your world:

1. You can join up to 3 reformer classes each week. Classes are small, which means you get loads of attention to help you master the moves.

2. Consistency works. Really, it does! The more you Pilates, the better you can feel.

3. The membership is month-to-month. If you love it, keep the good times rollin'. But, if you need to take a break for a month or two, no harm done.

And one more reason: No experience is necessary! Come as you are, I'll teach you the ropes.

Fun fact: When I'm not working with clients at the Bodiology studio, you can find me performing in the Twin Cities. I'm performing a cabaret set this Saturday with the Twin Cities Cabaret Artists Network - stop by the Town House Bar if you're free! http://buff.ly/1pOEeQY

On Saturday, March 19th, in Blanche's Lounge at The Town House Bar, we continue Cabaret Salons of fewer performers doing longer sets each!

I have a great client who weighs herself every morning. She is smart, sharp, and sassy, and she works her butt off in her sessions. Still, every morning she steps on that scale.

The number she sees tells her whether she is a success or a failure that day. Now maybe I’m exaggerating, but truly, in the back of her mind, gaining or losing a few pounds defines her for that day. So, it got me wondering, why are we still letting the numbers on a scale tell us what we’re worth?

A quick reminder everyone, the numbers on a scale do not tell us how fit we are.
