Are you taking a vacation this summer and getting out of Petaluma or Sonoma County? To stay fit I recommend while on vacation, one of the easiest ways to practice Pilates while on vacation is to take a stretch band with you. It is the lightest and easiest to pack out of all the Pilates props. I gave these exercise to a client to do while on a three week tour abroad. Below are a series of exercises with your stretch band so you can stay in shape while on the go.

The prenatal pilates class with Ava has been such a treat during my pregnancy. Not only is Anne’s is staff knowledgable about prenatal safety and wellbeing, they also reminded me that I could maintain my strength and flexibility throughouth my pregnancy. As a yoga teacher, I have found pilates to be an amazing complement to my daily yoga practice. I look forward to attending Ava’s class every week!
