Our
Philosophy
Mindful
Practice lead to Mindful Living
Mindfulness is our capacity to be fully
present in our own lives, to be more fully aware of what we are
doing as we are doing it. As we develop our awareness, an inner
stillness naturally grows. We are better able to embrace the
world, better able to respond wisely and lovingly.
Mindfulness engages us completely in the present moment, without being
overwhelmed by our fears, anxieties, worries or sorrows. It allows
us to live free of judgment, and to make everything in our daily
lives sacred and full of meaning, even things as simple as washing
the dishes or turning on an electric light.
To live in
mindfulness is an art. It requires our attentiveness and skill, because it encourages us to live in the present moment.
The
art of mindful living allows us to heal our relationships, live
more consciously, and move through the world gracefully.
With the help of conscious
breathing and conscious movement we are able to touch and be
nourished by the peace and joy that are available within and
around us, in the here and now.
You are a reflection of what yesterday’s thoughts created. You
can begin now to consciously build a new healthier body that will
serve you better and allow you to move through your life with
increased strength, flexibility and vitality.
With mindful
practice in PILATES and GYROTONIC® your journey will not only make you flexible and strong
but will guide you back to your inner awareness of effortless and
graceful movement.
Body Evolutions Studio fitness activities are based on trusting the wisdom of your body.
The paths to health, wholeness and enjoyment are unique to each
of us and can be discovered by focusing attention within our
bodies where sensations, feelings, emotions and intuitions
abide. Through a consistent practice of "mindful" or focused
activities, we learn how to tap into our inner intelligence and
make choices leading to a life of integrity, fulfillment, peace
and harmony.
Our goal is to
provide instruction, ideas and resources for self-responsible
health and total fitness in a supportive community with
acceptance, care and laughter.
The key to success and mastery
is in mindful practice. Mindful practice is the mother of
skill. If you practice anything long enough with
mindfulness you will master it. "You get out of it what
you put into it."
Mindful
practice is a journey who's branches will reach out and touch
other areas of your life. The roots of mindful practice
are deep and strong, the benefits being more then flexibility,
strength and balance in body, but in mind and spirit as well.
