If you’ve ever seen a Cirque du Soleil show, then you know how incredible the acrobats are; they’ve got the most athletic, lean and agile bodies on any stage, any where.  This is my reasoning for seeking time with them to learn how their training can enhance yours.

I recently attended the Cirque show “La Nouba” in Orlando, and found it quite challenging to keep my jaw off the floor. The show offers nonstop fun, creativity and surprises. In fact, the show is so busy one would have to return a dozen times to take it all in. My small chidren  loved it so much that they’ve been practicing “acrobatic moves” to the Cirque CD we purchased nonstop and plan to perform with Cirque du Soleil when they grow up. Fun!

Acrobat Mark Griffith. who performs on the “trampoline wall” is also a pilates instructor. Mark generously spent time with me to demonstrate a few elite core training moves that will tighten up your waistline as if you wore a corset.  His ideas are challenging but  require zero equipment, so you have no excuse not to give them a try. Now get to work!
