A just few weeks to leave Qatar for good; after more than 10 years teaching almost every day; I can see today most of the Pilates Teachers in Qatar, where, at sometimes, my clients.

What a wonderful feeling to see how are growing the Pilates seed and blooming a new Pilates Teachers here in Middle East. Doha, Qatar. I wish all of whom could be “Classical Pilates Teachers”

What my Clients said:

“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Luz as Classical Pilates teacher. It’s a great opportunity to have access to learning and practice of classical pilates with all the full benefits that this activity promotes.

Through Pilates with Luz I achieved greater connection with my body, mind and spirit, fully aligned in order to achieve balance and health.

An unusual and unforgettable experience.

Luz emanates knowledge, sensitivity and presence, which makes her look always conscious and personalized to the need of each person individually.

I am grateful for this opportunity and I wish that more and more people can enjoy Luz’s ability to bring health and balance through the practice of real classical pilates”.

Yours sincerily,

I am experience a wonderful feeling of inner happiness to see that all this years are finally germinated and give you the opportunity to learn something that is wonderful for everybody and keep you healthy and kind.

The Yin Yoga Training and my own Yogini Path

After all I did it again!

Sebastian and Muriel with Luz

Was not easy, was extremely present. To having Sebastian and Murielle by my side this time was like river filled of goodness that flushed away the illusion.

I was waiting for the Yin Yoga Training II – Level II “Meridian Series and TCM. for so long…

And that is the most important feeling that I keep in my body, mind and soul.

To be away from my Yin Yoga Teachers was too long; to wide to narrow. to little to much.

I can justify my own weakness my own attachments. I was fiscally and mentally tired. As everybody know I am searching for more light, better mental state and be good and do good with me and others.

“Look inside to awaken…” phase from With-Yin Yoga Was really daily practice; learning and sharing with others Yogis and Yoginis. In fact was not noise from outside; was noise inside of my own mind.

Nothing to say just “PRACTICE LUZ” and Meditation helping me to embrace my own emotional condition. Nothing from outside was always inside of my mind digging collecting my fears from the past.

Now; I Know better and I need to keep practicing; at the end I want to see more light not darkenss of ignorance. quote by LuzLife

Of course the lovingkindness of Sebastian and Murielle, helping me to embrace my present, help me to keep moving and don’t give up!

Then, light was on me; no before; no after… when I was able to slow down my mind and be more pure and simple I was able to focus and moving forward.

To be able to learn the Level 2 was amazing journey for the Meridian Series and the Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now what is coming is: Level 3: Philosophy and Meditation and Level 4: Retreat and Advance Study.

I am ready of course not, however I will prepare myself this time without to much distraction of my own mind that try to play the same game again. I am practicing Loving Kindness with me and others. I will be more update with my own mental state and see more clear under waters.

What a wonderful gift I just got from my own light guide from inside out. Everything is inside of ourself; we just need to have the right person, the right moment to embrace the simple way to stay focus.

Namaste, and thanks from my heart to my teachers and friends. Murielle and Sebastian Pucelle

Light on both of You!

Dear Clientele,

Following is a message from Amy Kellow regarding our recent Classical Pilates Workshop at LuzLife Studio in Doha. I am sure you will join me in thanking Amy for her participation and leadership in the first of a kind event in Doha, Qatar.

Classical Pilates Workshops – Doha – Amy Kellow

My first ever trip to the Middle East and what a wonderful welcome I received from Luz and all the participants in our Classical Pilates Workshops.

I love meeting and teaching Pilates enthusiasts and Doha has to be one of my favorite trips so far!

I was extremely well cared for and enjoyed seeing the sights outside of the studio.

Luz’s passion for Classical Pilates was evident in her clients in the studio. Each were focused and determined to understand Pilates and to understand their bodies. A rewarding environment to be invited to teach in.

The workshops were wonderful as we greeted teachers from all different backgrounds into the Classical Pilates Method. I tried to cover workshops that would touch on Pilates being an entire system and hoped that my approach made it easy to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching everyone and helping to spread the Classical Pilates Method in the Middle East.

My sincere thanks go out to Luz and everybody who made my visit so welcoming.

I am missing Doha already and hope to visit again very soon.

Amy’s answer: Everybody is welcome. Different bodies/shapes allow us to learn more about how Classical Pilates can support us.

LuzLife: What difference between the Pilates and the Classical Pilates Method?

Amy’s answer: The Classical Method originates directly from Joseph Pilates and uses his systems to achieve results.

Pilates in its generic term is refers to all threads of Pilates from a more contemporary approach to the Classical Method.

Amy’s answer: I first met Luz in 2014 at the Classical Pilates Convention UK which Everybody Pilates organizes. Our convention was created to bring together people who have a passion for Pilates. Luz delved into the Classical Pilates System with enthusiasm and passion to gain more understanding of her body.
Following the Convention Luz and I continue to work together weekly to discover more and more about Classical Pilates. We learn about the body and then we workout!

Walking Meditation practice at Classical Pilates Convention

https://luzlife.com/wp-content/themes/osmosis/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 LuzLife LuzLife https://luzlife.com/wp-content/themes/osmosis/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg May 20, 2015 May 20, 2015

Unknown-2 Practicing 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

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

Metta,

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.
