SPECIAL NEWS!
Dear Clients, Students and Friends,
We are excited to inform you that Smart Moves Pilates and Yoga Center is restructuring and changing its name to Sun Studio for Pilates Yoga and Therapy. We will still be in our beautiful, sunny studio at 221 Pine Street #245, Florence, MA.
As of July 1, 2011, we are making a transition from a single owner with renters, to a member owned collective in which all the member/owners share responsibilities for the continuance of the studio.
The teachers you have known at Smart Moves – Sue Heffernan (Pilates), Jean Ida Hoffman (Pilates), Arden Sundari Pierce (Yoga) and Laura Pravitz (Isadora Duncan Dance) – will remain, and are pleased to be joined by Megan Tady (Yoga)and Jeremy Pauig (Occupational Therapy).
Occasionally, we will be renting the space to others for special events.
Most importantly, you should know that we view this change as positive and invigorating. In our beautiful and sunny space, we look forward to continuing to bring you high quality instruction with renewed enthusiasm. Many of the class times that you are accustomed to are staying the same, with a few tweaks here and there. We will have an updated schedule for you, including our new offerings, available shortly.
Since word of mouth is the highest praise you can give us, we would appreciate any sharing of this news to anyone in your life who you think would be interested.
We are grateful for your past and present support of the studio and look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Arden Sundari Pierce, Sue Heffernan, Jean Ida Hoffman, Jeremy Pauig, Megan Tady and Laura Pravitz
