It’s 2022, and let’s face it - a lot has happened over the last 2 years that likely has impacted your practice. It at least certainly has impacted mine (virtual classes at home with 3 cats, walking all over the computer, could only last so long). So let’s work together to re-ground ourselves and find meaning and routine in our practice again… with a challenge! (and yes, rewards are involved!)
This year’s spring challenge, “Revitalize Your Practice,” focuses on LSQP's key mission to ignite confidence and vitality in our community through the principal teachings of Pilates: concentration, control, center, position, breath, and fluidity.
Earlier this year, dozens of our community members participated in our 30 Session Spring Challenge with the goal of completing 30 sessions or classes in 8 weeks. We are excited to announce that one client, Maria D., reached 30 sessions during the challenge and won a free month of membership!
Maria shared her challenge experience with us on the LSQP Blog this month:
"I confess that I haven't been this proud of myself in a while. I was so happy to have this challenge as a way to do something good for me as we emerge from all the upheaval of the past year."

Here is a list of in-season foods to help you power through and stay energized during your workouts at LSQP”
The bad news: you’re stuck at home and can’t make it to your favorite studio. The good news is that everything will be okay with a simple shift in perspective. Your at-home workout can be just as effective as any training you do within a studio or gym. You can still apply Joseph Pilates’ principles to your workouts in your living room, dining room, kitchen or bathroom (we won’t judge).
The key is to set yourself up for success. Here are a few tips to keep you happy and healthy as you commit to stay fit from home and navigate through your new workout routine.
