Reflections from Monica

Amazing beings of Tone,

It is another momentous time to reflect about the past year of challenges and wondrous moments of space and levity. During the longer nights and shorter days, we have opportunities to check “in” and reflect, digest, and process. I am often asked if I’m an optimist or a pessimist.  In trying moments, I fake it (optimism) until I literally create light. In light and beautiful moments, I expand and breathe in longing to savor. What I know is that all the relationships that I am exposed to at Tone, have attributed to my personal growth and health. I love hanging out with folks who believe that fun and conscious movement of their bodies and spirits elevates the world and relationships we choose to be in.

Thank you for your continued commitment to that which is good and positive. My goal is to continue to share this tool of possibilities so that the path is lit for all of us to be the best versions of ourselves.

My request for 2019 is that you too share this amazingness. Bring folks into classes. Try new
classes and experiences. Reach out in the space and get to know a new being. Say”hi” to a
stranger. Encourage others to take care of themselves. Practice random acts of
kindness—maybe take 30 seconds to have a meaningful conversation over a glass of wine
after the Friday Pilates class. Give yourself a private session to learn more about you.

These ideas are not resolutions. These are ideas to enhance the quality of your life—to breathe and act with mindfulness and kindness.
