The park was full of late Saturday afternoon fun. Kids playing hide and go seek, birthday parties, bicycles, giggles and screams. Amongst all the park "hub bub", we eventually moved over to the grass, where Evie agreed to pose for the camera with some of her favorite Pilates exercises. There we were amongst the park 'madness", shooting away. Evie, every bit the fitness model and I the "wanna be" Fitness magazine photographer--ha ha! What a fun shoot--I had a blast!
Evie Mathieson is the voice over the phone that Hugo Reid parents will usually hear when they need to pick up their sick child from school or in my case that your daughter has broke her arm and that I should come RIGHT away! Working with children, parents, teachers and staff, an elementary school office could be one wild but fun place to be--5 days a week. I always wondered how Evie maintained her cool spirit. Until one day, I found out her secret weapon - Pilates (puh-LAH-teez), an exercise system that is focused on building strength, improving flexibility and agility, and helping to prevent injury. It was developed in the 1920s by Joseph H. Pilates, who was a physical trainer and founder of The New York Pilates Studio®. It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind. It was initially created for rehabilitation, but was later adopted by dancers and athletes and is now utilized by millions.
Evie is a certified Pilates instructor and teaches at Arcadia Fitness, The Center for Well Being in Sierra Madre and One2onept Pilates studio in Monrovia, where she conducts private and duet sessions. The joy of movement, increased flexibility and strength, greater confidence, ease of daily activities and decreased stress are some of the benefits Evie promises you will achieve through regular practice of Pilates. Her fan club (myself included) can attest to these promises. For more information, please contact Evie at mailto:precision.pilates@live.com
