SUMMER’S END

As the start of the school year lingers around the corner, the sense of Summer’s end is here.  While that brings a notion of complete disbelief that time could pass that swiftly, along with a swell of sadness that the “free times” of Summer are concluding, it also brings a lot of anticipation for our many upcoming Fall events.  Exciting times await.

FALL IS HERE

This Fall is FULL, really FULL, of exciting events at Excel Pilates Annapolis.  


We relocated the studio to The Village of West Annapolis this Summer and celebrate this transition on Friday, September 5th at our New Location – Open House.  From 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. we have great events planned including a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony followed by a sample-session demonstration with Mayor Pantelides as the demonstrating students.  There will be advanced teacher demonstrations, some amazing door prizes and Mocktails to be savored.

MORE TO CELEBRATE

Later in September, Excel Pilates Annapolis hosts a grand Continuing Education event, A WEEKEND OF CLASSICAL PILATES, September 19-21, with second generation teachers, Dorothee Vandewalle from Seattle, WA, Peter Fiasca, from New York and Kerry De Vivo from Excel Pilates Annapolis.  This weekend will be filled with more than 14 hours of unique continuing education topics.



A CHANGE TO GIVE BACK
Also on September 2Oth, as a proud member of the Authentic Pilates Union, Excel Pilates Annapolis will participate in Pilates Gives Back day.  

“Pilates Gives Back Day is an international fundraising event. The funds raised can be contributed to any of the 5 charities listed on our webpage or to a charity that the local event organizer chooses. Pilates Gives Back Day supports the communities in which we all teach and live.” -Marie Wittman, Chairperson APU Charity Committee.

In honor of Pilates Gives Back day, September 20, 2014, Excel Pilates Annapolis is donating 3 one-on-one sessions for raffle.  $10/ticket from September 2 – September 20th.  ALL funds will be donated to St. Jude’s Research Foundation.


ANOTHER PARTY

Also on September 21st, Excel Pilates Annapolis will participate in West Annapolis’ Annual Octoberfest.  The event of the year!  With street vendors, music, food and festivities, Excel Pilates Annapolis looks forward to enjoying our first main event with fellow West Annapolitans.

TIME TO RETREAT

And if that is not enough…. November 8-9th will be our Third Annual RETURN TO LIFE – PILATES RETREAT held at the beautiful Chesapeake Hyatt. This two day event is all about relaxation, rejuvenation and PILATES!



Learn about all of these events on our studio website, www.excelpilatesannapolis.com or call 410-897-0550.  And while all of this is going on this Fall, we’ll continue do what we do best, offer quality traditional Pilates sessions in our new Pilates home.

We look forward to seeing you at these events and we’ll see you at the studio -Kerry
