Hi there,

Check out our NEW , "Stretch and Flexibility Class" with Chris Lopez!

This class is designed to make your feel great! Join the class and achieve and maintain a greater range of movement and body awareness through stretching.

Chris will address muscular movement, spinal flexion, rotation limitations and abilities, focus on neutral spine placement and orientation.

Flexibility conditions the body, and is a great way to augment other physical activities, or just release stress.

The following props are recommended:
A yoga strap, or stretch band, foam balance pad or cushion, 36' foam roller, and a 55cm or 65cm stability ball depending on your height.


 
Every Monday and Wednesday

Studio Canceling In-Person Sessions

11/17/2020

Hi there,

As you probably already heard the county of Santa Clara along with 41 other counties are closing fitness studios for in-person sessions due to the rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

This means that we are closing the studio for in-person sessions until further notice, but we're jumping straight into online sessions and look forward to working with you there.

 
Online Sessions - Pros and Cons

According to some of our students the pros and cons are below.

PROS:

  1. The sessions are convenient and you can take them from anywhere that you have a device and wi-fi.

  2. They're safe as you don't expose yourself to Covid-19

  3. Stay active during SIP and keep SANE!

  4. No driving. No traffic. They take less time out of your day.

  5. Rediscover the basics and learn great routines that you can do anytime, anyplace with minimal props.

  6. Stay healthy wherever you are.

  7. Online sessions help you maintain the progress you made in the studio, as many of our students discovered after our last closure.

  8. The exercises help prepare you for a stronger in-studio experience.

  9. The exercises add variety to your routine.

  10. For those of you that have equipment at home it gives you the opportunity to use it during your session.


CONS

  1. 😉 You don't get to come into our lovely studio, but you'll still get the view of the studio from your device.

  2. You miss the in-person experience.

  3. You miss the equipment.

  4. Internet connections sometimes lag or freeze.

  5. It's best to work on tablet or laptop because phone screens have small screens.


The pros far outweigh the cons, but we wanted to let you know what students who have been taking online sessions have to say.

One of the questions we've been asked is, what is the price of Zoom sessions. Zoom private sessions are the same as in-person session.

If you've never done online private or class sessions before check out our Online Class Schedule for information on how to set up for your online session. See you on Zoom!

Santa Clara County Health Director

If you'd like to contact our local Health Officer and Public Health Director Sara Cody and plead the case for deeming Body Evolutions as an essential business we'd really appreciate it. We realize it's a long shot, but if enough people contact them it may help. It's definitely worth a try.

Unfortunately we're categorized as a gym, despite the fact that our work differs from typical gyms. We are a boutique Pilates studio that teaches private sessions, and are following all the county health guidelines.

Our work is focused on helping adults that have been recommended to us because their doctor or physical therapist deemed Pilates or Gyrotonic private training as highly recommended for the support of their hip, balance, or spine issues.

Safely Celebrate The Holidays

Squarespace Blog Header 1200 x 300.png

Hi there,
🥧 The holidays are upon us and with that brings travel, cooler weather, and family get togethers indoors.

In the spirit of keeping our studio community and ourselves safe, and out of an abundance of caution during this Covid-19 period we have decided to implement a few changes to our in-person sessions.

While Covid-19 continues to peak during this holiday, fall, and winter seasons, we will be abstaining from meeting with students in person for 2 weeks after any travel, family/social gatherings, exposure to Covid-19, or positive Covid-19 testing.

We realize this is an inconvenience, but hope you understand and respect our decision as our priority is and always has been to help you in your quest for wellness. In order to continue serving you in-person, we must focus on the overall wellness of our PILATES and GYROTONIC® community.

As most of you you know, we had to close our doors for five months and twenty three days during SIP and were only able to teach via Zoom during that time. Minimizing the risk of the studio's exposure to Covid will help us continue keep our doors open for in-person sessions, the alternative would be closing the studio for a minimum of two weeks and teaching solely online, which we'd like to avoid if at all possible.

🥰 This is purely on an honor system, but we love you guys and hope you'll reciprocate the love 🤟 and work with us by letting us know when any of the above scenarios occur and of course we'll do the same for you. We will be more then happy to reschedule your in-person lessons for after the two week quarantine, the other option is to schedule your lessons via Zoom during this time.

On another note, we've had really great success with our Zoom sessions with better then average results for many of our students. If you'd like to schedule your private lessons online or join any of livestream classes please let us know.
