Tuesday Tip - Stay Hydrated
Next time you’re playing a game, hiking, working out or going for a walk, think about taking along vacuum-insulated water bottles.
They can boost hydration by keeping water cold and refreshing up to 24 hours, and they’ll keep hot drinks hot for up to 5-6 hours.
According to the April Fitness Journal, the bottles work this magic by including two chambers: a water compartment and surrounding Vacuum-channel insulation. Meeting requirements for style, function and eco friendliness, these vacuum-insulated water bottles offer a fun, effective way to hydrate.

Yamuna Body Rolling is coming to P/oP
Our very own Pilates Instructor Abby Hanson
has recently been certified in Yamuna and will be teaching classes here at Pilates of Pasadena.
What is Yamuna Body Rolling?
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.
If you have ever used a foam roller for self healing, think about how much more specific you can get with a ball! The balls also offer a different density than the foam rollers and many people find them to be more effective for release technique.
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.
Please look for classes in June. Private lessons will also be available.

Quick Balance Test
To evaluate your own balance...
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.
If you did not perform as well as you thought you should, it's OK.
Let’s work on this together!
