From an upcoming press release we are honored to be presented in such a wonderful light. We are grateful for the opportunity to share our site and build this community with everyone. We are also excited to be able to share the Pilates Methodology with the world.
Pilates instructor and enthusiast Heather Brummett recently launched PilatesPal, a new website to connect members of the Pilates family throughout the world.
According to Pilates practitioner and physical therapist Heather Brummett, Pilates is a community of people who are dedicated to pursuing better and healthier bodies. With the launch of her new website, PilatesPal, she hopes to bring this community together by providing an easy way for instructors, participants and businesses to connect.
"I have been involved in Pilates since 1991 and have been a teacher since 2002," notes Brummett, whose website at www.pilatespal.com offers many features for both participants and instructors. "For many years, I have believed that one thing the Pilates community needs is a standardized, organized and central location for information, resources and, most of all, to connect with each other."
Brummett envisioned a site where new practitioners could find out more about Pilates and where other resources could be made available. Her new site fills that need, providing scholarship information for those who want to become instructors and lists of Pilates studios sorted by geographic location. The website offers links to DVDs, Pilates equipment, machines, apparel and information about workshops, conferences and meetings. It also includes helpful information for those who practice Pilates, including advice from Brummett herself. For example, she notes, "Moving efficiently requires skill. Skill takes time, patience and practice. These are a must to help move correctly and prevent injury. To start, try working out with 50% less effort, but accomplish the same task."
However, the most fundamental and important function of the new website is to create an instant Pilates community where instructors and students can connect. New practitioners can find advice on purchasing used Pilates equipment or choosing the right Pilates studios from experienced providers. Additionally, Pilates teachers can offer their services to people who are already searching for a seasoned instructor.
PilatesPal brings together the community of those who are interested in improving health and physical fitness and helps them isolate the proper people to help them achieve their goals. For more information about Pilates exercises and Pilates DVDs, see the website.
