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

Please click on the "Healthy and Fit Group-Jax Beach" Blog Link to the right side for more information on the Monthly Support Group that goes along with this class.

I am running a new special for the month of July! If you purchase a 10-pack of classes at $80 you'll receive a Private Pilates session(1hr) absolutely FREE! That's a $60 value! You may schedule it at anytime before you use up you 10 group class passes and I can come to your home or we can reserve space at Renaissance for your session. This is a great way to experience Pilates and to really understand the fundamentals of how your body moves. In addition to the workout, during the private session we will discuss your fitness goals and your posture and any personal limitations or issues you may have so that I may help you reach those goals quickly and safely.
Remember Joseph Pilates himself said: "In 10 sessions you will Feel a difference, in 20 sessions you will See a difference, and in 30 sessions you will have a new body" (and everyone will See a difference in you).
So this month make the commitment and purchase those next 10 sessions at $8 a class and take advantage of the awesome benefits of a One on One session with me!!

Thank you all so much for your business :) It is important, especially during stressful times, that we take good care of ourselves by exercising and eating right.
See you in class!
