THE LATEST: Eaton Fire in Altadena

• SERVICE INTERRUPTED — Scheduling is on hold. If you have a confirmed service coming up, I’ll be in touch.

• ONLINE POSTING ONGOING — Don’t miss the latest in Used Pilates Equipment for sale, Pilates Teacher employment, and studio space for rent.

• The Eaton Fire destroyed our adorable Altadena home — The Pilates Guy headquarters, studio, office, workshop, and garden. Cindy and I are safe and comfortably evacuated.

• Our friends have organized a gofundme, and Cindy and I are very appreciative.

• World Central Kitchen is the real deal. Feed the hungry high quality food, that’s it. Wow.

• The people of “the Denas” (Altadena / Pasadena) and surrounding communities have stepped up mightily to support one another. The Lincoln Ave Christian Church, the Fraternal Order of Eagles on Woodbury, Run with Me and La Michoacana De Dena on Lake Ave, The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Orange Grove Ave, and Flintridge Center on Mountain St. are just some of the places we have seen people volunteering, giving, sharing, and lifting in-and-up.

• If you “love your apparatus” like I do, you may recognize the photo above as the remains of a Balanced Body reformer. The metal risers are visible at the top, the Revo springbar is near the bottom, and in the lower right corner of the photo is the bolt that attaches the footbar to the wood frame.
