Last week we hosted our studio’s Christmas Party for 2017 — the sense of community was well and truly alive as we came in celebration to toast the end of the year and more importantly to our Pilates community of clients and peers.

So often we get caught up in the day to day running of the studio — albeit as an instructor focused on teaching or as a client taking a session. We can easily forget as individuals ‘we’ are part of a community. It was lovely to see clients connecting over their dedication to Pilates, and for us as instructors — it was a great way to share more of ourselves without loosing focus and being a distraction during class time.

On top of the celebrations and demonstrations on the night, ‘we’ as the True Pilates Sydney Community also raised money for Charity to help the homeless by raffling off prizes donated by the studio and local businesses. We are so proud to be part of a community with a social conscience and regard in helping those who are less fortunate.

With the night being such a success, it has renewed our sense and resolve to work towards building a stronger community of clients, peers and instructors and to also celebrate it - so we don’t take for granted ‘we’ as individuals are part of something bigger than ourselves.
