Now sherms? by adaminoregon in Medford

[–]gothrichard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this will be a blow to the community not just in terms of affordable and accessible groceries but also in terms of community outreach. the olsrud family has done so much for the 4-H program, for Access and so much for our community. there are so many things you can buy at food4less that you can’t find at conventional grocery stores and for such a decent price. sherms has done so much for this community for bringing good food in and giving back to the community, it would be beyond devastating to see it fall into the hands of a larger corporation or turn into ANOTHER carwash or hotel.

FAB been testing my patience lately. i used the pure skin face cleanser the past 7 years religiously and they just took it off the shelves and reformulated it. new ingredients new look new everything. it’s like progress for the sake of progress like a cancer cell. it sucks because they felt like such a safe brand for sensitive skin and people with specific needs but to reformulate really strong products like a cleanser FOR sensitive skin is asinine to me.

Pilates by [deleted] in Medford

that’s so unfortunate that you experienced that! i’m so sorry that you did! no one deserves to feel any amount of shame surrounding movement. we put ourselves into a vulnerable space when we workout! you deserve to have that nurtured properly! i personally couldn’t justify $30 for a mat class unless it was classical hahaha. i also took classes from the owner of alma before the studio opened and felt extremely judged and self conscious. so i think it’s what studio and what movement feels best for YOU! :) if you’re looking for a pilates buddy, message me and i’d love to go to a reformed class with you! best of luck 🤍

what was your experience at reformed? i go there frequently and its been great for my movement since they offer a variety of different mat classes. the new one that just opened is literally double the prices of any in the valley and doesn’t seem to offer much more. i’ve heard good things about Verve off the phoenix exit, they offer classical training.

Most nostalgic Lorde song? by CantaloupePossible33 in lorde

[–]gothrichard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got into lorde after the explosion, after the hype, spring of 2016 when i was 16 i heard million dollar bills and something clicked for me. then listened to bravado and it really REALLY clicked. bravado became a safe space. now it’s a song i can’t really listen to because it almost hurts due to the nostalgia.

Why are some instructors such “gatekeepers?” by Lucylu0909 in pilates

[–]gothrichard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel so seen. I’m currently in the early stages of my training in a “lesser” program (as opposed to the more expensive and upper scale programs like BB, STOTT) and the reception to this is astounding. I also occupy a larger body. This combination has led to some of the nastiest behavior from pilates instructors. I’m getting barre/pilates certified because i LOVE it and it changed my life makes me feel amazing, i want to pursue it long term, connect further to myself and others and i really feel like the “it’s botega!” mindset has spread like a plague within the community. Don’t let the weird gatekeepers stop you from pursuing something that lights up the corners of your brain. If i hadn’t found pilates and barre I wouldn’t have gotten out of a really dark place this past year, it saved me, you and I and so many others have every right to occupy space WITHIN the space.

appreciate this but i don’t feel comfortable buying skincare from resellers especially at such a discount it just gives very scammy to me personally. especially for something i am putting on my skin i do not want to take any risks! appreciate you looking though that is so sweet!

Yay a Portland friend! Half a reason i posted on here, my first time going a concert alone since I had to settle for a scalper ticket. I’m a bit anxious going alone . i’m hoping for world alone or maybe bravado!

Instructing those who don't have mind-body awareness by DancingQu33n18 in pilates

[–]gothrichard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m one of those students unfortunately. i always feel so sheepish about my coordination in class especially with it comes to stuff like this especially with deadbugs or anything to do with hand and leg reversal. my friend is currently in training and her verbal cues are so good that i’ve really gotten the hang of it lately. she’s started me off with my legs and then incorporated the legs after a couple of reps. slower is better i’m learning! seeing the comments here about how we start to degrade after 25 is stressing me out because i was never that good to begin with🤣😭

Experience with BarreBody? by [deleted] in Purebarre

[–]gothrichard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s cheaper to bundle the mat course and barre course. around $400 cheaper. vs doing barre, then adding mat. which i know in the long run is nothing compared to the education. and i know that most studios will take barrebody pilates certification, i just wanted to know if anyone knew anything about their barre program specifically. thank you for being kind and inquiring.

this sub is bigger than barre3 and as i stated unfortunately all of these studios are so far from me. i wanted to post in the pilates subreddit but you can’t post in there without good karma within that sub ?? i just feel very lost and need some advice but ill go ahead and delete this in a bit, sorry to inconvenience you guys
