UPDATE!! – As of August 2009!
As the Summer gets started I start looking ahead to the Fall for the programs that will support my clients, students and friends with health and healing. We are cooking up (literally and figuratively) a plan for Pilates and Breakfast on Boulevard East starting September 12, 2009. Read the rest of this entry →
