Excellent, in fact. Several new clients, including an exisiting massage client, who couldn't need to do Pilates more. I'm very excited about working with her. Also thrilled to be working with a pregnant client. Everyone bought packages, and all is well. I'm so happy to have things building up at the Sports Center. Lovely place to work, and the money is significantly better there than any of my other three Pilates jobs.
I also had a tremendously good Mat class yesterday. It was nearly all magic circle work, some of it taken from a handy little video I borrowed from work, about how to incorporate small apparatuses into your Mat work. I had seven ladies, mostly pretty healthy and eager.
It was also a small victory for me: I had a general plan (lots of magic circle work), but no specific list of exercises. For the first time, I really felt like the flow came easily and naturally, the way my favorite teachers of the past have seemed to work.
