The Arm Chair, Joe Pilates invented

 150 150 LuzLife

What a wonderful work!

The Arm Chair was introduce to me by Mr. Jay Grimes in Pisa, Italy this May 2015 and Mr. Jay Grimes from www.vintage.com when I have the opportunity to have a private lesson with him.  As everybody knows regarding my cervical spine conditions and surgery and Mr. Jay remember exactly how was and how big was my fear…

The great energy and the contagious smile of Mr. Jay made me feel relax and I was so exited to have him as a my teacher this time; after long fly and was the first student starting a day before of the official opening date give me the feeling that all what I am been waiting for the last 20 months is going to give me the fruits and greenery my own path as a eternal pilates student.

Mr. Jay Grimes give a marvelous advice regarding my body and invalance and of course he said to me “Luz you are thinking too much”.  Mr. Jay knows I was terrified to fail or do something wrong… I know I did what I was available to do and just my body memories knows from then until now.

Deep inside of me I know he was right… so now  I am just move and of course breathing.  Enjoying and getting stronger every day.

To have the opportunity to be under Mr. Jay Grimes a Master Teacher and The Elder and eyes, has been a perfect moment in my path. opening more, reaching more, and get connected again and again.  My cervical spine was free of stiffness and my shoulder more relaxed. And I discovered my back again!

Every single day I am learning something new, something that made me feel that with perseverance and a lot of patience we can reach our own goal and share the marvelous experience.

Walking Meditation practice at Classical Pilates Convention

 150 150 LuzLife

Unknown-2Practicing walking meditation at Classical Pilates Convention in Pisa?

My answer is Yes!

walking meditation – is a form of the expression of our mind and body to clean and detox the path; connecting with the five elements and restoring the internal organs;  listening the movements and changes of the flow, be aware of the present moment; is a form of meditation in action in movement.  And Pilates is Movements so I did!

I choose one of my Private Pilates Sessions and I decided to be in contact with the Nature, early morning, fresh and green start; hugging a trees, and just trying to keep the silence and listening my breathing.  Be tune with the Universe and what your body need is one of my fundamental.  Stay simple real and be still.  I was awesome experience! I am sure that we enjoy it!

Enjoying the silence and just breathing and listening the heart.  My teacher was with me and hope she enjoyed too.

Walking meditation we use the experience of walking as our focus. We become mindful of our experience while walking, and try to keep our awareness involved with the experience of walking. Actually, there are several different kinds of walking meditation. We’ll just be looking at one of them in detail, although we’ll touch on the others. Once you’ve mastered one form, you’ll easily be able to pick up the others.

Obviously, there are some differences between walking meditation and sitting meditation. For one thing we keep our eyes open during walking meditation! That difference implies other changes in the way we do the practice. We are not withdrawing our attention from the outside world to the same extent that we do when we are doing the Mindfulness of Breathing or Metta Bhavana (development of lovingkindness) practices.

 

Love, Movement and Pilates with LuzLife

Love, Movement and Pilates with LuzLife

Developing the balance between the monkey mind and just breathing give the answer of everything that I was wondering.  My mind was clear and free and I hugs a tree, smell the flowers and I collected a Pine Cone that I am sure is the house of one of the magic creature they living in the forest.  Now is at the Lotus LuzLife Studio; sharing with us the stillness and the Movements

Spring Camp, VIP Master Class with Mr. Jay Grimes

Spring Camp, VIP Master Class with Mr. Jay Grimes, at Vintage Pilates Abril 2015

I was in LA, USA last week participating in the Spring Camp at Vintage Pilates; where the teachers are more than teachers; really friends and they are teaching what Joe Pilates said.

Meeting the first generation of Pilates student was a gift for my path and I am sharing with all my clients here in Qatar for over 9 years.

Reaching a good level of movement; working with my own imbalance and moving forward every day is my goal at that point.

I am having at my side amazing teachers like Amy Kellow, Andrea Maida, Karen Frishmann, Sandy Shimoda, Sandy Sarnoff, Dena Drotar, Ken Krech, Suzanne McHugh Parker, Melanie Petri and Mr. Jay Grimes.

Having new Pilates friends and much love and kindness from everywhere made me feel that everything is possible when the universe is allowing us to move forward fearless and strong.

I believe that we are our own master and we need to stay connected with our body mind and soul.

Learning from Mr. Jay Grimes; what Joe Pilates did and said is a blessing in my own path as a Pilates Student and of course nourish my personal life.

Connected to our spine muscles, our head with the rest of the body, breathing and using the right muscles, lifting our stomach muscles, feeling the push and pull in each movement, resist the gravity and be present in each single exercise that Joe Pilates was teaching.

Learning every movement we are able to imprint what our body needs in order to achieve the physical fitness for healthy body and healthy mind.
