Happy news - I'll be adding Weds back in starting in April!!! Between Mix-It and Pilates which would you prefer on which day Tues/Weds? Both will be at 5:30 on zoom just wondering if ya'll have any specific requests as to which should be which day.

Hello my loves! Due to scheduling and personal conflicts, I'm going to move Mix-It-Up to Weds for the rest of March starting this week. My return travel plans got delayed so I will make that change on my website once I get back home to my laptop. Anyone signed up for class will get their pass returned to use again later. Weds class will be at the same time 5:30pm. I do apologize for any inconvenience. Hope to see you on screen tomorrow!

I practiced with my hair down today.

Something that I never do because it gets in my way, it annoys me, but today there was an urgency in my soul to get on my mat. I didn’t have much time before heading to work, although I took more because the phone wasn’t buzzing – thank you deliveries for not showing up early today.

I’ve been realizing lately that I’ve been lying to myself, that I don’t admit it, but the self-doubt is strong, like being annoyed with my hair, really? I can say in truth I am a positive person, I prefer positivity over negativity but realistically that inner critic can just be incessant. I’m also terrible at committing to self-practice but I’m slowly getting better at that. I am superwoman when it comes to committing myself to work, but not to me. I’m changing that too.

This is a pic of my practice space, and of the first snow we got today outside my window in Casco, Maine.

Give yourself time today, take a breath. Let your hair down. (whether you have it or not 😉)

Ps...in case you don't know, my name is Tina Knott and I am a movement instructor specializing in Pilates and Barre. I teach virtual classes 3x a week.

staring at a blank page

everything is blank

or

now and forward is clear

if you can only look back

blank is change

blank is space to grow and a place to start...



After attending the most phenomenal Pilates conference, Brink, a few weeks ago, my mind has been on overdrive. Left with so many great exploratory questions, what is my why, what serves me, what are my talents, what do I want to offer and to whom, I felt my mind spinning. I struggled with the answers, still do, but I gave myself permission to ponder. Space to wonder. Who in the actual f*^% am I? Why is that so hard for me to answer? I feel pretty deeply connected to myself, especially since starting this movement practice, so why this blank?

Then I listened to Core Conversations yesterday, one of my favorite podcasts about Pilates and so much more. I only caught the last 20 minutes or so but Martin Personal Victory had Misty Lynne Cauthen on and then Jenna Zaffino , creator of Brink, joined for a freestyle chat that was lovely and grounding and just what I needed to hear. So much so, that I went into a self-discovering Podcast spiral for hours and when I circled back to listen to the podcast from the beginning, he mentioned The Book of Five Rings. My heart just about burst. I’d been searching for a book based on Taoism that had inspired and guided me in my 20s, trying to put my finger on something from my past that I could not find. The Book of Five Rings was sitting on my bookshelf, like the chapter in my life that I was in when I first experienced it. Sitting, closed, collecting dust. And then it hit me. I’m feeling stuck in the present because I’ve closed so many chapters from the past and never looked back. I started thinking about how life is like a book. Full of stories, mostly locked up in the mind, unending in the moment. No one knows until you share...

Seeing that book helped me recall the one I had been searching for “Everyday Tao” by Deng Ming-Dao which I instantly downloaded to my Kindle and opened to the page about Oneself.

“All answers are already within the self” ~ Ming-Dao

Reflections of the sun. Bout to dance in it, will you be joining me? - that one's for you 😘

****EDIT**** I will be doing 1 class tomorrow at 8 as a combo Barre and Pilates like we do on Tuesday. I mixed up the start time for training tomorrow which is actually at 9am my time sooooo I need to make that change. I'm going in to cancel the Pilates that was scheduled at 9. I can most certainly do a make-up session on Sunday if anyone is interested please message me.

Just a reminder that Saturday classes will be moved up one hour so I can attend this amazing conference, Brink!!! Barre will be at 8am and Pilates at 9am this Saturday the 13th. Hope to see you there! Thank you Jenna Zaffino • Move From The Heart for putting this together, I am so excited for the content and to learn from such an incredible group. And thank you Personal Victory for the comp pass, I feel so very blessed!

Hey loves! Just a quick update. First class as lovemovementpilates is going to happen this Saturday October 9th!
Barre @ 9am
Pilates @ 10am
I'm doing a $10 drop-in for now until we solidify a regular schedule and decide on membership prices.
Go to https://www.lovemovementpilates.com/book-online for all the details and to sign up for class. You will need to sign up individually if you want to take both Barre and Pilates but it's super quick and easy. Message me if you have any problems.

This week I'm holding classes on Saturday 10/9 only but will be adding Tuesday back in very soon. My thought is to have both Barre and Pilates on Tuesday rather than keeping Pilates on Weds. This will prevent me from having to cancel if something comes up at my restaurant. I do plan on adding more classes in the near future and will update when that happens.
Comment here if you have any schedule requests or would like to adjust current times. My thoughts on Tuesday would be possibly have Barre at 5:15 - 6, then Pilates at 6:10 - 7. Would that work for you all? I feel Pilates works best after Barre for those who take back to back but that's just my opinion.
