“We are all agree that we coming to this world to be Happy and Healthy”. by Luz A. Lovern

Happiness is here for us in order to keep our healthy body, mind and spirit. Happiness is like a flower or when somebody smile from the heart. And we need to keep our inner eyes to nourish this happiness.

As Lao Tzu said: Being deeply loved by someone give you strength, while loving someone dimply gives you courage”.

Today for me: Happiness is the stage where I am experience; the sense of love, safe, healthy, strong and much more… that coming from my inner light.

When I am able to get closer of what I am searching for years and as a Teacher give always my best advice and how we can have better life, better health and over all better outlook of life. Challenging time for me now; I need to embrace myself and others at the same time; can be confuse sometimes. I need to put all what we have learned for years in practice now! Practice and practice lovingkindness to myself in order to irradiate and elevate my own energies.

The Real practice is in our own day by day what exactly I am doing at this time. Moving forward and let it go… Became my own teacher and keep me sane and strong. Is not easy; to talk about my pain, my fears; what I like to talk is about my present today that became my healthy future and my own positive mind that will lead me to the safe and healthy life. My life, My work and my entire existence is shifting. Always during this period I am getting help from everybody out here. My friends, my teachers, my universal family. I thrust in the universe and I am keep practicing my meditation and Yoga as a yogini. Finally I am able to teach few hours here in USA.

“I am a happy human being, I am an Entrepreneur, Holistic, a business woman and over all I believe in the positive thinking. I believe and keeping my light; I am a Lotus, white lotusluzlife”.

The Classical Plates Mat Work Benefits

“In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a new body.”
Joseph Pilates

Classical Pilates Mat Work, a system invented by Joe Pilates and originally called Contrology, promotes physical, mental and emotional well being addressing the two main concerns of society today: fitness and stress.

Modern lifestyles have grown increasingly less active and more stressful, impacting quality of life. The pace of today’s society, the aging worldwide population, and the now-public awareness of the mind-body connection has created an increasing interest in Classical Pilates as a mind, body and spirit connection. unknown-9

“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.”
by Joseph Pilates

Science shows that the body needs to learn how to move correctly. The ability to perceive movement properly is rarely emphasized in modern training methods, allowing dysfunction to develop. While the brain recognizes basic movement patterns, it does not naturally focus on muscles or muscle groups or know how to sequentially build upon basic patterns of movement in a healthy way. Joe Pilates understood these issues and to deal with muscle group training requirement he invented this wonderful system that I am teaching today where I remain faithful to the original method allowing you to feel the intended benefits from the very beginning!

“Change happens through movement and movement heals”
by Joseph Pilates

Joe Pilates Invented the System called Contrology and today I teach both the Classical System and the Classical Pilates Mat Work.

I have just relocated to Roanoke, Virginia USA and I am now preparing to teach Classical Pilates Mat Work; I am available for private sessions; and looking forward for new places where I can share with all of you the original Mat Exercises invented for our Joe Pilates.

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. Our interpretation of physical fitness is the attainment and maintenance of a uniformly developed body with a sound mind fully capable of naturally, easily, and satisfactorily performing our many and varied daily tasks with spontaneous zest and pleasure.”

The Yin Yoga Training and my own Yogini Path

After all I did it again!

Sebastian and Muriel with Luz

Was not easy, was extremely present. To having Sebastian and Murielle by my side this time was like river filled of goodness that flushed away the illusion.

I was waiting for the Yin Yoga Training II – Level II “Meridian Series and TCM. for so long…

And that is the most important feeling that I keep in my body, mind and soul.

To be away from my Yin Yoga Teachers was too long; to wide to narrow. to little to much.

I can justify my own weakness my own attachments. I was fiscally and mentally tired. As everybody know I am searching for more light, better mental state and be good and do good with me and others.

“Look inside to awaken…” phase from With-Yin Yoga Was really daily practice; learning and sharing with others Yogis and Yoginis. In fact was not noise from outside; was noise inside of my own mind.

Nothing to say just “PRACTICE LUZ” and Meditation helping me to embrace my own emotional condition. Nothing from outside was always inside of my mind digging collecting my fears from the past.

Now; I Know better and I need to keep practicing; at the end I want to see more light not darkenss of ignorance. quote by LuzLife

Of course the lovingkindness of Sebastian and Murielle, helping me to embrace my present, help me to keep moving and don’t give up!

Then, light was on me; no before; no after… when I was able to slow down my mind and be more pure and simple I was able to focus and moving forward.

To be able to learn the Level 2 was amazing journey for the Meridian Series and the Traditional Chinese Medicine. Now what is coming is: Level 3: Philosophy and Meditation and Level 4: Retreat and Advance Study.

I am ready of course not, however I will prepare myself this time without to much distraction of my own mind that try to play the same game again. I am practicing Loving Kindness with me and others. I will be more update with my own mental state and see more clear under waters.

What a wonderful gift I just got from my own light guide from inside out. Everything is inside of ourself; we just need to have the right person, the right moment to embrace the simple way to stay focus.

Namaste, and thanks from my heart to my teachers and friends. Murielle and Sebastian Pucelle

Light on both of You!

Dear Clientele,

Following is a message from Amy Kellow regarding our recent Classical Pilates Workshop at LuzLife Studio in Doha. I am sure you will join me in thanking Amy for her participation and leadership in the first of a kind event in Doha, Qatar.

Classical Pilates Workshops – Doha – Amy Kellow

My first ever trip to the Middle East and what a wonderful welcome I received from Luz and all the participants in our Classical Pilates Workshops.

I love meeting and teaching Pilates enthusiasts and Doha has to be one of my favorite trips so far!

I was extremely well cared for and enjoyed seeing the sights outside of the studio.

Luz’s passion for Classical Pilates was evident in her clients in the studio. Each were focused and determined to understand Pilates and to understand their bodies. A rewarding environment to be invited to teach in.

The workshops were wonderful as we greeted teachers from all different backgrounds into the Classical Pilates Method. I tried to cover workshops that would touch on Pilates being an entire system and hoped that my approach made it easy to understand. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching everyone and helping to spread the Classical Pilates Method in the Middle East.

My sincere thanks go out to Luz and everybody who made my visit so welcoming.

I am missing Doha already and hope to visit again very soon.
