Pietra Fitness Calms Mind, Body, and Spirit

I was introduced to Pietra Fitness on a retreat. One of the retreat participants was a certified Pietra Fitness instructor and offered to lead a class for all who were interested. We were on mats that she provided outside on the grass. I had never done an exercise class before, and felt a little awkward. Thankfully, the class went at a slow pace and the moves were fairly easy to follow. No one seemed to mind whenever I messed up, and it gave me a good chuckle! I left feeling refreshed and more at peace to continue my retreat.

When I went home after the retreat, I could not find a Pietra Fitness instructor in my area. I signed up for an online subscription and have been taking recorded classes in my home almost every day ever since! There are many instructors, and I have favorites who have become familiar - some that really challenge me physically and others that I find more soothing. The meditations and scripture verses they read during the class often speak to my heart and whatever is happening at that time in my life.

They have classes to meet you at your level and state in life: gentle, intermediate, advanced, and chair, prenatal, and postnatal classes. The hardest part for me sometimes is just changing my clothes to get ready for class! Once I do, I never regret taking the time to slow down. Stretching relaxes me and promotes functional movement. Day by day, I can feel my body getting stronger. With a little break from the chaos of life, I am able to relax and find peace in my soul.
