Memorial Day is a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Memorial Day started out in 1868 as “Decoration Day” and was observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country,” according to the website, VA.gov
Pilates of Pasadena staff thank all of our military personnel and veterans for their service to our country.
A copy of the poem can be found at the end of this blog.
In Flander’s Field
By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields
YBR is a ball rolling therapy that combines the release of massage with the strengthening and toning of exercise, providing an effortless workout and a deep stretch.
The balls apply traction that frees up connective tissue, reeducates muscles, stimulates bones, and leads to fully releasing negative holding patterns in the body.
YBR heals deep body problems at the same time that help you get in shape. In the traditional class format YBR uses balls to lengthen muscle, stimulate bone and open up joints for a healthier more sustainable happy body.
Private lessons can also accomplish deep tissue release and can be personalized to target habitual body patterns.
Its fun and compliments the Pilates traditional program.
It is a sanctuary for rescued wolves located in Palmdale, and is primarily dedicated to saving the threatened species while lending a helping hand to at-risk local youth. It is also one of the few wolf sanctuaries that hosts interactive wolf educational tours.

We hope you will take advantage of this top-notch Pilates line up and join us!
Stand up and imagine you're going to walk forward on a straight line, placing one foot directly in front of the other so that the heel of your front foot touches the toes of your back foot.
Keep both feet flat on the floor.
Hold that position and close your eyes.
If you can maintain your balance for 30 seconds, you are doing pretty well. Congrats!
If you are wobbling just about as soon as you close your eyes—or before—your balance is poor.
List the things that you do best, and give yourself a hug.
Accept compliments.
Dance barefoot.
Plan to fulfill a secret wish.
And above all, remember you are loved.
