Are You Ready to Take Your Pilates Practice to the Next Level


Hi Reader

I hope you enjoyed the holidays and that your new year is off to a wonderful start.

I’m very to sad to share that on December 29th, my father passed away. My dad was one of my biggest fans, and his faith in me played a huge role in helping me realize my dreams – including opening my own Pilates studio. He also was a fan of Pilates, using it to stay strong and flexible during his battle with leukemia. In fact, you can see the two of us practicing together in my Instagram tribute.

While my family and I are devastated by his loss, I’m also grateful for the time I had with him and for all the ways he shaped me into the person I am today. My dad was an extraordinary man, and I miss him more than I can say. I feel so lucky to have been his daughter.


As you begin this new year, remember to hold your own family close, let them know how much you love them, and treasure your time together.

Kahley’s Favorite Finds

If you’re looking for one simple step you can take to be healthier in 2024, then drink more water! Proper hydration can help to improve everything from brain function to digestion, and it also support mobility and energizes your muscles.

Of course, you know that water’s good for you, but if you find it to be a bit “blah,” this pretty pitcher can help. It comes with a detachable infuser that you can easily fill with berries, slices of citrus or cucumbers, or even herbs to give your water some extra zing. Plus, it’s suitable for hot or cold water and holds two quarts, making it that much easier to meet your daily hydration goals.
