Part 2 of my letter:
Clasique became the first place where I merged the modalities of classical Pilates with Chinese Medicine, offering both services to our Asheville community. In recent years, taking my passions online through video and live virtual teaching has given me wings and allowed for some really powerful and meaningful relationships. I love teaching Pilates teachers online as their mentor, and I certainly love training athletes including WNBA players as they excel in their careers (and gather more gold medals too!).
I have to pause to emphasize that I am so grateful for the team of contractors and staff at Clasique, of present and past, and every Pilates apprentice I have trained. For many of the current team, we have worked together for so many years. I am honored to have worked along side of each of you as a colleague. You have taught me so much as a practitioner, leader and human. You are remarkably talented at your professions and this community loves and values you deeply. You made this space what it is! And I am forever grateful.
I have loved every Chisel class with you, all the repetitions of Mountain Climber on the Wunda Chair, you owning your workouts and rocking all the apparatus, the Pilates workshops and seminars, and our acupuncture treatments and intimate moments together. We will be having more of all of this. It’s not over, it in fact might get more magical, but making the choice to close the studio means it’s changing.
I’m a practicing practitioner if that makes sense, and I’m dedicated to my practice because I know that serves you all best as well. So just watch out as I gather my qi, resources and creative juices into the art of Pilates and Chinese Medicine and we grow together through online, RETURN as a teacher training platform and wherever I land next in Asheville for some in person time too. Yes yes, I’m not going anywhere Asheville, just smaller and you’ll be invited for sure once I find a new small home base place to practice & teach you, right here.
Love you and thank you with my whole heart,
