On Saturday, September 3rd at 5:54pm my family and I welcomed Maddox Masashi Boomer into the world. We call him Max. He is serious yet sweet and oh so hairy. This is his story...

The time has arrived to share my plans for maternity leave with you all. It's bittersweet to say goodbye to my classes and clients for a little while but I'm so excited to welcome my second baby boy into this world. The weeks have truly flown by and I only have 5 more weeks to go before he arrives.

"The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us, but those who win battles we know nothing about." Recently I was moved by the story of a local mom battling cancer. Little did I know she attended a few of my classes and would end up teaching me a big life lesson. 

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Now it's time to ring in 2016 with THREE new class and workout announcements! Can't wait to reveal the latest ways you can move your body with JPPilates in the New Year! 

When was the last time you did something you were afraid to try? For me, today I checked a big mark off my Boston fitness to-do list. I took my first ever Barry's Bootcamp class. And I survived to tell you all about it. 

Why not use social media for a bigger platform to keep us on our toes and feeling empowered and excited? For the next few Fridays you can tune in to see some of my favorite accounts which I will feature on my Instagram page. The idea is that you will go check them out and hopefully follow for motivation too.

Tis the season for everything but workouts. Don't give up on your fitness routine just because things get busy. Here are my tips for sticking with it and staying motivated during the holiday season. 

All it took was one very tiny, unexpected little hug to change my mood, perspective and mindset this holiday season. When was the last time you really thought about all you were grateful for in your life? Not the things, but the people who surround you, lift you and keep you sane. Go hug them and tell them what they mean to you. Happy Thanksgiving! 

Life lately has been zooming by. We traveled to California in August and arrived back in Boston just in time for fall to whirl into place, with new classes, new schedules and new adventures in full force.

Everything felt like a race against the clock. I was making silly mistakes. I wasn’t excelling. I wasn’t myself. At some point along the way I realized I was missing one key ingredient in my new motherhood puzzle. Balance. It was when I stopped trying to do it all that I actually started to thrive.

You've been hearing rumblings for months. Questions have been asked. And the time has finally come. Asana, Charlestown's BRAND NEW Yoga, Pilates and Barre studio is officially opening on September 1st! And I'm excited to be teaching 5 new classes a week!
