Glancer - March 2010

Life is an amazing thing; it can be a tough, challenging ride, but we are given nothing that we cannot handle.  One of the keys to getting the most out of life is finding a strong support system that will help you through your obstacles and help you celebrate your accomplishments.  Another tool for living a fulfilling life is making time to focus on yourself and strengthening the close relationship between your mind and body. Pilates can help you succeed at the game of life, no matter what stage of life you are in.
 
Inner Focus Pilates™ helps clients find a new energy and better health while creating a strong community.  Clients not only experience the many benefits of Pilates training, but they also gain support and a strong alliance to meet the many challenges that life gives them.  One of our clients, Robin Schwartz, is finding comfort, confidence, and constant support as she fights her battle against breast cancer.  IFP provides her with an opportunity to gain control over her body and focus all of her energy on conquering this disease with the Inner Focus community helping her along the way.
 
Pilates challenges you to spend an hour putting all of your physical and mental energy into your body.  It is not only a workout, but also a therapeutic and stress relieving experience.  During our busy days we do not spend much time strictly thinking of ourselves, but IFP provides us with this much-needed experience. Pilates not only helps you build physical strength, but it also helps you to gain emotional strength as well.  
 
IFP offers a wide variety of fun and unique classes. Your workout will always be new and exciting. You can make a difference in your own life. Allow yourself one hour to try a new Pilates class and leave feeling positive and refreshed. Working from the inside out will provide you with an empowering experience that will help you find balance, control, and success.

Inner Focus Pilates Supports Breast Cancer WARRIORS

Robin Schwarz--a client of Inner Focus Pilates--was recently diagnosed with stage two breast cancer & is undergoing treatment. “Robin is a close friend, and IFP is an incredible community” says owner Erin Jones, who added a pink streak to her hair to support her friend and increase awareness. “In fact, one of my clients was so touched that she anonymously purchased a private session for Robin.” Not only has the friendship between Robin and Erin grown deeper through this battle, but the community of IFP women has rallied around this cause & are stronger for it.

“Robin is just one of the many faces of cancer in our studio,” says Erin “That is the amazing thing about the intelligence of Pilates…Given its essence and our expertise, we are able to offer safe and specified workouts that provide a sense of normalcy during a very tumultuous time.”

IFP would also like to encourage residents to join Team IFP Warriors in the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation’s Race For The Cure! to be held September 26th. For more information, call (630) 871-1714 or visit www.innerfocuspilates.com To read Robin’s blog visit www.robinstory.wordpress.com
