Holiday spirit

I was so touched when I walked into the chilly studio today to see a whole display of gifts that the most amazing instructor, Laurie had put together for her fellow sisters! One thing I have to say I really appreciate about Embody is how much we truly care about eachother and all of our students.  I really hope all of you have safe and joyous holidays.  Remember: Melanie said it was ok to drink the eggnog and enjoy eating the Christmas cookies because come January we here at Embody are motivated to whip you all back into shape!!

Happy Holidays!!

New Shirts @ Embody

Published December 5th, 2012 in Melanie | No Comments »

I just love our new Embody shirts with the cutest sayings on them.  I wanted to get one in each color, but had to show restraint when I saw the cutest leg warmers to accompany the newest little booty shorts with animal and floral print.  This is going to be the starting place of my holiday shopping!  Next time you are in for a burlesque class, chick fit or pole fitness make sure to check out our clothing line.  You can also go online and put together your Christmas list at Embody direct!

Have fun and I bet you can’t just stop with one….

Barre Beauties

I love teaching the barre class and seeing how beautiful everyone dances.  The hard work and effort is remarkable and to think that the lovely ladies keep a smile on their face really warms my heart and makes the class extra special.

Thanks ladies for fighting through the traffic to make it to class tonight!

Love my Monday girls

I can always count on the friendly faces of the Monday morning class.  Even though the room started off chilly we warmed it up in no time! I really love the little routine we made this week.

I have seen a noticeable improvement in the students strength! Keep up the hard and fun  work.

I’m Back!

I had a wonderful trip to Europe and truly enjoyed the time I had with my brother and sister, but now I am back to business.  I didn miss pole in my absence and was really excited to be back with the Monday morning group. What a great way to start back my routine here at home….that and the sunny California weather!

I was so excited to walk outside this morning into a light sprinkle and actually have to put a sweatshirt on to come to the studio.  It is the start of our Autumn.  Although I love summer and it’s endless heat, I am happy to welcome the cool mornings and wearing sweaters and boots.

I hope all of you are having a great week!

Just what the girls are going to like, new bruises on their feet and legs….haha at least it’s Monday! I promise I will make it fun and you won’t even realize that your legs are burning.  As soon as you get the move there will be no more pain and you will be so excited about your accomplishments.

We will balance that out with some fun spins, who doesn’t like doing the tinkerbell?  Can”t wait for you ladies to get here and start our class!

Round Offs and Handstands

Published September 19th, 2012 in Melanie | No Comments »

I was laughing last night as I was helping my daughter work on her round off back handspring.  I was demonstrating for her the proper way to run into it and I did the round off and launched myself backwards because I did not realize how strong my arms are! It was so funny, and a true testament of how much body strength we have by doing our pole and barre workouts. 

Needless to say my daughter was very impressed by what her Mama could do and I was impressed that I was able to walk when I woke up this morning!

Monday morning like no other

Published September 17th, 2012 in Melanie | No Comments »

5 years ago if you tell me that my Monday mornings would start by  teaching a pole fitness class I would probably laugh to the point of tears. This is such a special time for us women to come together refocussing our energy back into the positive parts of our lives.  I love that for an hour and half we can really put aside all the stresses and burdens that we encounter in our every day lives.

Excellent work out ladies.  I am so proud of all of you putting your heart, soul and strength into every class.
