If you ask most people if they love their job, I'm certain you would get mixed reviews and some comments about wishing they won Lotto 649... But for me I feel very blessed to say I love what I do, true story. And so even when I go on a holiday, "a get away" I like to take class, to become the student once again. Yes I see the juxtaposition and understand this may seem odd to some but for me it's part of the high light of my trip. Obviously, I know the benefits of Pilates, Yoga and TRX, I preach it everyday to my clients so really why wouldn't I if I got the chance? And of course, I do believe you should walk the walk and talk the talk....
So this year we were able to get away to Chicago (home of the deep dish pizza) and most recently New Orleans. While my hubby was there for business I went for pleasure which included taking classes. In New Orleans I was able to book two classes, mixing up Yoga with Pilates and TRX each day, how fabulous for me! I still found time to see and eat my way through the French Quarter, oh those beignets (donuts) a must try!
When booking my classes I try to find something that would be valuable for me to learn and bring back to my clients. So usually I don't take Stott Pilates but some other version of Pilates. I might not always fully enjoy the class style or a teacher but I do believe you always learn something, even if it is what not to do. I had great classes from both cities and have used more than one of the things I learned.
I am looking forward to my next trip in January to the sun, heat and fun of Miami, Florida. I am certain I will find some fabulous classes and hopefully bring back a bit of a tan as well...
