Putting Mom First:  A Mind and Body Retreat for Moms

Why and How to Prioritize YOU

Rodskog Change Consulting and Peace.Love.Pilates. present this amazing retreat for you, the busy New York mom, who prioritizes everyone in her life but herself.  We’ll provide you with the knowledge, tools and resources to help you create the life you want in the midst of the daily mommy chaos.

Topics:

• What You Want and How to Get It  with Rebecca Rodskog

Most moms don’t even have the time to think about what they would do, even if they had the time to do it.  And then, once we do have an inkling of what we want, we dismiss it with a myriad of excuses.  This session will help you figure out how to quickly identify those things that give you joy, and also those things that hold you back from going after them.

• Time Management for Moms with Rebecca Rodskog

Let’s face it; mom’s number one enemy is time.  Of course we’d LOVE to cook healthy meals and work out once a day, but who has the time?   In this session we will talk about some quick, easy time management techniques to get you (and your family) on the path to a more balanced, less hectic life.

• Pilates with Elizabeth Feltman

For busy moms Pilates is the perfect exercise.  The elements of Pilates can be done at home and offer a full body workout.  This class will show you how to spend a few moments calming yourself mentally while invigorating yourself physically, giving you the joy of feeling relaxed and powerful.

• Dance with Elizabeth Feltman

Dancing is for everyone! A natural and creative form of exercise, dance is fun as well as a great way to get your heart rate up and burn calories.  We’ll get moving in this class and hopefully you will leave inspired to take classes on your own or turn up the stereo at home and bust some moves with your kids.  (more…)
