30 Fredericksburg Parent and Family • May 2016 family favorites WRITTEN BY BRENDA SAPANGHILA This is a monthly column featuring winners and nominees of the 2015 FredParent Family Favorite contest. PITAIYO isn't just the fusion of Pilates, tai chi and yoga. It's a workout and lifestyle designed to help you find balance. Alex Woodbury Kelly-Maartens, inventor of PITAIYO, created the discipline to help you achieve opti- mum health in all aspects of your "orbit." In fact, PITAIYO, which combines the first two letters of Pilates with Tai (from tai chi) and the first two letters of yoga..., is also an acronym for Put It Together All In Your Orbit The PITAIYO studio on Caroline Street in downtown Fredericksburg, offers several weekly classes that focus on relaxation, wellness, conditioning and more. They also host workshops on a variety of topics such as nutrition, detoxes and stand-up paddleboarding. Looking for some- thing unique? Check out their online calendar for fun, out- side-the-box classes on various topics like learning French, dance, painting and even the occasional date night. If you are looking for more one-on-one time, you might be inter- ested in private consultations or reiki sessions. PITAIYO strives to help you find your balance while having fun, sur- rounded by people to support and cheer you on. Of course, your "orbit" should include killer leggings, and the PITAIYO studio houses a boutique full of athletic and leisure apparel, aromatherapy oils, jewelry and more. Be sure to follow PITAIYO for up-to-date information on classes and events. Facebook: facebook.com/PITAIYO Twitter: @PITAIYO Instagram: @PITAIYO
