| The new season brings new adventures at Boomerang! |
|
Hey! It's September!
It was a lovely summer break (and not really over yet... summer doesn't end until September 20!) and now things are starting to heat up at the studio as everyone gets back into their normal routine.
I am really excited about the new schedule... we have new teachers, new classes and SO MANY WORKSHOPS!!
One of the things I have heard a lot over the last few days is how many of us feel that September is more of a new year, fresh start time than January is. We hold onto that sensation of new beginnings, no matter how long it's been since we left the structure of formal education! And if you are one of the people who didn't much like school and find this time of year to be stressful instead of rejuvenating, we have some great ways to distract you.

A couple of changes to the regular schedule:
> Tuesday morning's MoveSMART class starts earlier, moving to 10 AM.
> Wednesday evening sees the return of Pilates Classics at 6:30 PM, and Power Pilates moves to 7:40 PM.
> Saturday morning's Align & Refine is also shifting earlier, to start at 10:20 AM. That should help to clear the traffic a bit before the 11:30 AM class! |

| | Do Your Hips Clunk?
For some of us, certain shapes or movements cause a clunking or clicking sensation (or even sound!) in the front of the hips. Although it often doesn't hurt, it is an indication that something in the hip joint is not moving smoothly and limits the benefit of the exercise or position you are working at.
This short tutorial offers a series of modifications and supporting exercises to help your hips glide smoothly through their range so you can move more and move better! And we love to help, so if you know someone who might benefit, please feel free to share the video. No secrets here!
