Pilates Mat with a Teacher of Teachers Favorite, Juliet Harvey, Beacon Pilates followed by a serious 45-minute hike up Beacon Mountain sets the stage for the energy requirement for Fall Movement into the new year.
All friends brought together as a evolution from the first #TeachersWorkout earlier this year. We mused around lunch after the Teacher’s Workout session at the PilatesHaus in early summer and asked, “What if we hiked the mountain after class?”
Thus, in late September, thirteen of us followed Juliet’s lead in class and then her well-planned excursion up the mountain, just for the heck of it, and for the joy of being together in the work of breath and movement.
There is no question, the mountain was much more of a challenge than the mat class, but as teachers, no one of us was ever, ever going to punk out.
