Happy New Year to every single one of you! I hope you embraced the holiday season and enjoyed special times with your families.
As we begin 2024, this is a fresh start for you and me, an opportunity every day to think about what you want out of the coming year. What do you want it to look like and feel like? What goals or intentions will you set to achieve your desired outcomes?
For me, this year is about more fun in my life, putting myself out there more and trying new things outside of my routine. So I tried a ballet class which I hadn’t done in over 40 years. All I can say is, humbling and hard, but it felt good to put myself in a new environment with new people and challenge my muscles and coordination in a very different way than I do in Pilates.
I think it’s important to continue to learn and be curious and do things completely out of our comfort zone, and that’s what all of you do every time you step into the studio whether it’s for the first time or the 100th time. Every lesson or class you take is an opportunity for growth, change and learning and I just want to applaud all of you for making that commitment to yourself, showing up so consistently even if you’re tired or don’t feel like coming. I see you and recognize this.
I am so inspired and amazed every single day by all of you and your willingness to push yourselves because we all know that Pilates isn’t easy. You inspire me to be a better teacher and to always be at the top of my game.
So as we begin 2024 I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’m so excited to watch you tackle your goals for this year and see you progress even more. Here’s to an amazing year ahead filled with fun, success, learning and growth always!
Lots of Love,
Claudia and the Darien Pilates Team
