Many of you have asked about services. In true Dianna fashion, she didn’t want the fuss of a traditional funeral. Her wishes were to be cremated, and then have a party and talk about her. Blaine and her family feel about 60 days is a good amount of time to grieve and process…so they’re thinking a Celebration of Life after the holidays in January sometime. When we are informed of a date, we will let everyone know.

Dianna also wanted the studio to remain a supportive community. We are planning to keep it going, and will need your help and support to keep it open.

A schedule has been created for the rest of November. As we see what works both for us teachers and the members, we will find a more permanent schedule going forward. The only change we are making for November is on Mondays…there will be just one class at 5pm on Mondays. If there’s interest, the 4pm class on Monday could be a CD class. This, and future, schedules will be posted and pinned on here and the Reality Pilates Reformer Community.

While we wait in probate….
We kindly ask if you are on a recurring payment via PayPal, please cancel that recurring payment and either temporarily pay via check or reach out to Susan 610-733-8233 for a digital alternative. The PayPal account for the studio may also be subject to probate and those funds unavailable to pay bills. Please make your membership checks payable to either Susan Hart or Tricia Delauretis. This way we can be sure to have needed funds available to pay the landlord and the utilities.

Love and blessings,
Susan and Tricia

Susan’s number is 610-733-8233 texting is most efficient should you have any questions. Feel free to send Susan a friend request if you’re not already connected.

We are incredibly sad to let you know that Dianna has passed in her sleep last night.
We are going to do everything in our power to keep the studio open and classes going on as Dianna would have wanted.
We are creating a calendar of the schedule with minor changes.
We will keep you all updated with information as it comes.
Love to everyone.
Susan and Trish

THE QUADRATUS LUMBORUM.

✅ The quadratus lumborum (QL) is a deep, quadrilateral-shaped muscle in the lower back that helps stabilize the spine and rib cage, aids in side bending, and assists with breathing. It connects the pelvis (iliac crest) to the lumbar vertebrae and the bottom of the 12th rib. Pain in this area can be a symptom of QL strain and may require treatment like rest, ice or heat, or over-the-counter pain medication.

✅ Anatomy

Location: Deep in the lower back, on either side of the spine.
Attachments: Originates from the iliac crest and iliolumbar ligament, and inserts on the transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae (L1-L4) and the inferior border of the 12th rib.
Nerve and Blood Supply: Receives innervation from the ventral rami of the T12-L4 nerves and is supplied by lumbar arteries.

✅ Function

Stabilization: Provides stability to the vertebral column and rib cage.
Side bending: Flexes the vertebral column to the side when acting unilaterally.
Breathing: Helps depress the 12th rib during forceful exhalation, which can make breathing more efficient.
