Lissa Ziola: Lymphatic Therapist

Thank you to everyone who has reached out asking about my dad. They (my dad and aunt) safely evacuated the Flin Flon/Creighton/Denare Beach area last Thursday and are at the Ziola cabin near Greenwater Lake Provincial Park, SK.

We have been following the progress of the fires online and are devastated by the destruction of Denare Beach, SK.

This morning, we are watching the progress of the two fires (Club and Wolf) as they surround the communities. (Creighton, Flin Flon, Phantom Lake, Channing, Baker's Narrows, Schist Lake, etc).

It's hard to find words.

It's painful to watch.

Thinking of everyone from my home communities. ❤️

Thankful for all the brave people who have been trying to fight this.

'Up north' is a part of me and has my heart- and my heart is hurting.

(Included are photos of the current position of the fires from Natural Resources Canada website.)

Lovely Linda.

We wanted to do a little extra celebration and recognition for clients who have attended over 500 classes at the studio. (Which is an amazing feat as we are an equipment based Pilates studio!)

Linda has been with the studio for almost 10 years! She started when the studio was in Melissa's garage.

When Linda is not at the studio- she is at the Bridge Club. (Or- in Nashville/Vegas in Bridge tournaments!)

She also manages the chemistry labs for students at the U of S. And her Chemistry knowledge has been to our advantage because she has helped us identify different solutions to help maintain our reformers.

Linda is also the client who has attended the most classes at the studio - 938!

Linda truly loves Pilates! ❤️

(And we love Linda's dedication to her health and good movement.)

Hope everyone had an amazing Canada Day long weekend!

Couple reminders:
▫️We are closed for group classes through July and August 2024. (Taking some well-deserved time off - the past year has been amazing! Thank you everyone for your support. ❤️ We need some time off to re-coup and rest so we are recharged for the fall.)
▫️We will be sending clients who attended classes in the past 6 months an email with free access to our online mat class library for July and August. Keep up your Pilates practice through the summer!
Please give us a couple of days to set this up.
▫️We are renting out equipment/props through the summer- details will be on the online access email (point above). (Plus sent to those who expressed interest.)

Have an amazing summer!

June is here!

Be sure to get your classes in before we close for some summer holidays (starting Saturday, June 29th). ☀️

Once on holidays- we will be setting up our new booking system. (Be watching for posts/emails!)

Through June- we have 33 weekly drop-in classes (come and go as you like, but remember our 15-hour cancellation policy for drop-in group classes!).

New to Pilates equipment? Be sure to either attend beginner drop in classes (Thursdays at 5:30pm or Sundays at 2:40pm) or one of our Intro to Pilates Equipment sessions (committment for the month- the Wednesdays at 7:15pm currently has 4 spots available. Starts June 5th!).

We also have a few specialized drop-in equipment classes: Pilates for Golfers, Pilates for Osteoporosis, and Prenatal Pilates.

Our schedule is packed with good movement! ❤️

A friendly reminder to use up your credits!

We realize clients are getting a little tired of this reminder- but every week, we do get clients who haven't seen/heard/registered the message.

All credits need to be used by June 30, 2024.

We will be then closed for summer holidays (and taking the opportunity to get the new system set up.)

Over 30 drop-in classes weekly! Lots of opportunities to use up those credits. We always encourage pre-signing up for class as class sizes are limited (only so many reformers!). But- remember the 15 hour cancellation policy for drop-in group classes.

Not really sure if you have been engaging your core in class? Or, not sure if you fully understand diaphragmatic breathing?

Melissa is doing a 1 hour workshop out of Inner Strength in Sutherland (they have a mat space!) as part of their weekly mat series they offer to their clients.

You don't need to be a client of Inner Strength to sign up- but do need to register through them for the workshop.

▫️Tuesday May 21st 7-8pm
▫️all props/mats provided

Msg if you have questions/would be interested in signing up!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms (and mom-like figures) in our lives. ❤️

(Also- ladies- get in the photos more! It's very difficult to find pictures of only moms and their children.)

Spring is here! (And so is our schedule to the end of June.)

We have added:

▫️early morning classes for those early risers!
▫️more weekend classes
▫️specialty drop in classes- such as Pilates for Golfers and Pilates for Osteoporosis
▫️more beginner equipment class options (Intro to Pilates sessions Wednesdays at 7:15pm or Thursdays 7:30pm - a commitment for the month. Or- drop in beginner equipment classes Thursdays at 5:30pm and Sundays at 2:40pm)

The majority of classes use "drop in equipment class credits" (exceptions being the Intro to Pilates session, Prenatal Pilates Equipment, and privates). But we always highly recommend pre-booking your spot as class sizes are limited. (And don't forget the 15-hour early cancellation policy for drop-in group classes!)

Be mindful! In case you haven't seen the in-studio posts, social media posts, website announcements, emails, notes on receipts/purchases,etc-we are changing out our class management system (Mindbody) in July. So- all credits need to be used up by June 30th, 2024.
(Not able to transfer over to new system, same with receipts if you need them for insurance purposes!)
