NEW LOCATION!! Pilates on Wednesdays

Hello everyone!
   Now that Renaissance Healing Center is closed, I will be teaching Pilates (and Bellydance) at another location in Jax Beach.  My 7pm Wednesday night class will continue this week at The Place on 3rd.  Much like RHC, the space is small but comfortable and hosts meetings and events as well as classes and workshops.   I am specifically calling on all my students who still have Pilates Class Passes to attend at this location :)  I will of course allow a few drop-ins, space permitting, at the rate of $15.  Please RSVP if you are coming so I know to look for you. 
   The address is 1420 N. Third St.  It is the peachy color 2 story building right next to the Caddyshack and across from the Kangaroo gas station on A1A in North Jax Beach.  It has a lime green front door and parking on the side as well as in the 2 parking lots on either side - at 7pm the 2 businesses on either side are closed and we are allowed to park there too. 
    Please email me with any questions and your RSVP for class.  I realize this is short notice for you this evening so if you would like to RSVP for Next Wed.'s class please do so now so I may plan ahead.  :)  Thanks and I hope to see you at my new location!!

I will also be starting a Pilates workshop and series class toward the end of September at Ocean Yoga, stay tuned for dates!

July Class Schedule and Studio Closing

Dear Friends,
    The studio where I teach, Renaissance Healing Center in Jax Beach is closing its doors on July 31st.  If you get our newsletter you may have already received the notice.  This is very sad news for all of us here at the Center as we had hoped to continue offering our Healing services to the Beaches community as a group.  As it is, we now must go our separate ways but we will still be offering our individual services such as Massage, Facials and Skin Care, Acupuncture, Yoga and Pilates Classes from other locations.
     I am contacting other studios in the Beaches area to arrange a place to continue teaching Pilates and Bellydance group classes.  I love all my students and do not wish for you to go without the wonderful healing that Pilates and Bellydance exercise provides to the mind, body, and spirit.  I do offer Private Sessions in your own home by appointment, for those of you interested in continuing your practice, as well as for anyone new to Pilates or Bellydance.   I also am available for Bellydance Performance/Instruction at parties, such as Birthdays, Bridal or Baby Showers, Girl's Night In/Out Gatherings, Drum Circles and other events, please call me for details or to book your event! (904) 246-4970
       July will be the last month at Renaissance Healing Center so please come in to use any class passes you have purchased.  My classes in July are as follows:  Wednesdays Pilates Plus 7-8:15pm, 
Thursdays Healthy & Fit Noon-12:45pm, 
Fridays Bellydance Beginner Course 6-7:15pm.  
Sign up now for the Beginner Bellydance 5 week course that starts THIS FRIDAY! see the flyer below for more info on this class.  I will truly miss the energy and everyone involved with Renaissance Healing Center, but I hope you will journey with me as I seek out new opportunities in the community to provide the healing that is so needed during these stressful times.  Thank you so much for your patronage and continued support!!  I will see you in class again soon :)
Sincerely,
Lacy A. Norman

Celebrate Earth Day with Free Classes

Hello and Happy Earth Week!
Like many of you, I love Nature, and I want it to continue to be beautiful and full of diverse life for many hundreds of generations to come. So I do my part by making eco-conscious and energy-saving choices in my lifestyle and the products I buy. Sometimes this requires spending a bit more money; Sometimes it means sacrficing convenience for quality and time. But, it always means a better choice and future for myself and for  the Earth. In order to help you save a few green-backs to spend on those green products, I am offering 2 Free classes this week in honor of Earth Day. This way, you can make a healthy choice for yourself by exercising and still have some money left to make a healthy choice for our home, Planet Earth. 

Join me Thursday April 22nd, Earth Day, from Noon - 12:45pm for the Healthy & Fit Pilates Class Free of Charge.  My Belly Dance Workout class will be Free of Charge on Friday April 23 from 5-6pm and will be followed by a special Aromatherapy Party with Lauren and Heather that should not be missed! Then on Saturday is our Earth Day Green Fair, free all day to the public with tons of great info on Holistic Health and Eco Services.
 
My Classes are held at Renaissance Healing Center in Jax Beach. The Center's amazing Yoga Instructors will also be offering free classes the week of Earth Day. Click Here for the Earth Week Schedule.

Peace to all

Graceful Belly Dance with a Veil on April 3rd 3-5pm

Follow this Event on Facebook:
Belly Dance at Renaissance Healing Center
What should I bring?
If you have any Bellydance "gear" i.e. a coin belt, hip scarf, or a veil, you are welcome to bring it. Also, if you prefer to dance in soft soled shoes rather than barefeet, please wear them but it is not required. Dancing with a veil is all about the arms, so please don't wear any restrictive tops, you will need full range of motion of your shoulders and arms. --a sports bra w/a tank top or tshirt is just fine. As for bottoms, yoga pants or a long flowing "gypsy" skirt is a good choice, because it will spin beautifully :) It is a workout so be comfortable and be prepared to sweat a little. I am so looking forward to dancing with you all!
Stick around after the workshop for a performance and Birthday celebration!

Lacy's Classes at Renaissance Healing Center

This week's group classes:

Thursday 12-12:45pm  Healthy & Fit: Pilates Core  $8
Pilates exercises work your deep abdominal muscles(core) while also working the muscles around the hip joint and the lower back.  Including the core, this area makes up the powerhouse of the body.  If you build lean muscle here, it improves your balance and stamina and burns lots of calories!

It's ABs Week Again at Pilates Plus!

Pilates Group Classes this week at Renaissance Healing Center


Wednesday 7pm  ~ Pilates Plus
This week we'll focus on the core and powerhouse with Power Abs!  Pilates exercises work your deep abdominal muscles(core) while also working the muscles around the hip joint and the muscles of the lower back.  Including the core, this area makes up the powerhouse of the body.  If you build lean muscle here, it improves your balance, stamina and burns lots of calories!  So if you want flat abs this year, come to Pilates class Wednesday night from 7-8:15pm at Renaissance Healing Center (A1A & 3rd N).

Thursday 12noon ~ 45 min Lunch Time Pilates
Another way to get flat abs and more energy is to do core exercises throughout your day.  If you squeeze in some mind-body exercise during your lunch break you'll feel less fatigue (and less back pain) at the end of your day.  So get out of your office (or car) and onto a mat for some stretching and strengthening every Thursday from 12 to 12:45pm.


Also, Thank you to everyone who came to our Healthy & Fit Introduction, and National Yoga Day demos this past Saturday!!  We had a wonderful time welcoming new faces to the Center and celebrating Yoga/Pilates with friends.  If you didn't make it out, I encourage you to look over the details of the new Healthy & Fit membership plan here and choose an option that suits you goals and budget. There is still time to join before our next meeting Feb 13th.


Here's to getting Healthy & Fit in 2010!!
