Our Power to Evolve

Seven years ago this month, I decided to name my pilates studio The Co. It landed for me as simple yet flexible, something that had the potential to evolve.

Evolution and embracing change have always been foundational for me. Change is always happening, all around us and inside of us - physically, emotionally, energetically. When things change, it can create a sense of loss of control or absence of stability. At a very basic level, accepting and working with change in the body can give us back a sense of power and agency. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
“You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.” – Glinda the Good Witch

It got me thinking about how we learn our power for ourselves, how that process aids in our evolution, and how movement is inextricably linked to this. If last year has taught us nothing else it's that we cannot, and do not, exist in a vacuum. Often learning the lesson of our own power comes from being in relationship to others, as well as developing a deeper relationship to ourselves.

As I celebrate 7 years in business, I find myself in a new space in Brooklyn, teaching in a new way, fostering new partnerships and collaborations - that’s a lot of movement and change! I cannot say that it was my exact intention a year ago as I closed down our Union Square space, or 7 years ago as I started this business, to be in the exact place I am now. However, it’s always been my intention to keep moving and evolving. There is a lot of power in that.

Summer Pop-Up at The Floor

Join us for our Summer Pop at The Floor On Atlantic in Brooklyn, which runs through September 30, to embrace change and evolution through movement and engage with some of our newest offerings. In conjunction with our thriving Virtual Studio, during our pop-up, you will have the opportunity to expand your wellness practice, using both online and in-person support to facilitate better awareness, connection, and ease in your body.

This past year has really moved us to view normalcy, change, growth, and expansion in a different light. Holding that new perspective deeply in our hearts, minds, and bodies, we recently shifted our work to focus on physical and energetic healing. We now offer intelligent movement programs based in foundational Pilates theory as well as intuitive movement programs that integrate energy work for a more embodied approach to healing. Our goal is to use this bespoke approach to help you navigate change in your body so that you can show up more powerfully in your life (and in the world).

Call to Action in the Name of Change

As mindful movement practitioners, we are in the business of supporting and guiding our clients through change. Both the change that just inevitably happens in life and the change they are choosing to make in themselves by coming to work with us. In other words, we are in the business of change – in the individual, the community, and the world.

In the name of change, this month we are continuing to honor the importance of acknowledging the cultures, healing practices, beliefs, traditions, and rituals that have been siphoned into the fitness and wellness industries from China, Japan, India, Thailand, and Tibet (to name a few) have been separated from the people that belong to those lands and cultures.

Indiaspora is a group of Indian leaders from around the world who have created a massive donation platform to get money to impactful nonprofits on the ground in India. At the end of April, they raised a million dollars in 48 hours to support families whose primary earners have lost their jobs because of the pandemic, help vulnerable migrant populations, and have made efforts to build makeshift hospitals.
