Before we roll on with this awesome and info-packed newsletter, let's all take a sec to breathe deep. Inhale that fresh fall air right into the lungs, and then let it all go. And hey, scroll down to our deep-dive section for a podcast must-listen all about the diaphragm—that big ol' breathing muscle you need to know about.
October's here, and ready for a whole new theme for our Monday classes. Plus, we're bringing back a Friday summer fave, MELTβ into the Weekend.
This month, we're all about HEIGHT. That's right, how we move up, down, and all-around, playing with gravity. Whether you're figuring out how to plop down on your couch without that "ouch," or you wanna nail that stand-to-floor Pilates move, you won't wanna skip a single Monday in October.
Keep reading to learn how Nicole kicks off the month, diving into the world of walking. We're talking uphill battles on San Francisco’s streets and those simple strolls. Even on level ground, we're lifting and landing with every step. So, don't miss out.
