Lea Bouchard Pilates

My deepest love and gratitude goes out to this remarkable human being. I long for more like her, more people that are willing to put in the time and the work to make this world a better and more just place for us all. I only hope this does not signal the end to the possibility of hope for this country. #rbg #justiceforall #voteforchange #votehimout #thankyouRBG #womensrightsarehumanrights

Another beautiful day on the water my lovely friend @bama97202 showed me the ropes of paddling in the willamette and I instantly fell in love! I’m pretty sure Nalu had a good time too such a good boy! #sup #natureismytherapy #nalu #dogsonthewater #summervibes #movementismedicine #movementheals

I’m back in the bay spending some time reflecting on what a special experience this Pilates & Wellness Hana Retreat was and my mind keeps going back to these amazing folks right here. They gave themselves a wonderful gift by coming to the retreat and that is a beautiful act of self care and love that I want to offer in many different ways for a variety of people. I’ve already begun dreaming up new ideas and ways to make that dream become a reality so stay tuned! But everything has to start from something and what a phenomenal start it was thank you so very much @princessleia_7873 @susanmcconkey @neahlau @sebrennan1 @sarina.kb @esha.bandyopadhyay @krowz thank you for showing up in the most beautiful of ways

Hello my loves! 2019 Pilates & Wellness Retreat is happening and I am so excited!! Details can be found on my website: https://www.leabouchard.com/retreats event page and flyers in the works.. DM me if you have any questions

One of the many things that inspired me to host my first retreat at Ala Kukui/Hana Retreat is that the woman who runs it is also a kumu hula (hula teacher) for a halau which practices on the property in the beautiful yoga/hula studio. A part of the retreat will be a class taught by the women of Ala Kukui, a discussion of hula: spiritual, physical, and intellectual. Having been born and raised on Maui I had the fortunate experience to learn about the Hawaiian culture in all its beauty. Here’s a video of one of the performances by this halau:

Ooh yes a little scientific motivation to move... get up get out and get something
