Our Next Lecture: Feb. 4th, 3-5pm at the studio, 12012 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 201

Dr. Catherine Veritas who graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Cleveland College of Chiropractic in 1982 will present, “The Chiropractor: the Detective of the Body”. She will discuss how the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) affects our health. She will take the mystery out of chiropractics by explaining how she diagnoses and treats structural pain and muscle imbalance.

Dr. Veritas’s years of rich experience and extensive post-graduate training in Kinesiology, Soft Tissue and Mind-Body-Energy techniques have led her to establish a holistic practice. Her approach recognizes the interplay of physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of being. She will demonstrate how she diagnoses muscle imbalances and discuss how muscles communicate information about the health of the body. Is a muscle imbalance telling us something about the nervous system, the spine, the organs or the emotions? Dr. Veritas will show us how she arrives at her answers.

Dr. Veritas’s office is one you pass each time you come to Pilates. She has had a thriving practice in our building for 25 years. From personal experience, I can say that Dr. Veritas has a gentle touch, healing energy, a keen diagnostic ability and a depth of knowledge that comes from years of experience and training. This is a lecture you won’t want to miss!

‘Tis the season to be jolly! Or is it?

For many of us who struggle with a few extra pounds, it’s a time of endless temptation to overindulge. Overeating during the holidays is so common that the average American gains five pounds.

One of the biggest mistakes we can make during the holidays is “all or nothing” thinking. Such thinking leads to the conclusion, “I might as well wait until the new year to workout since I’ll be partying so much during the holidays.” On the contrary, the goal is to strike a balance. Join us at Westside Workout this holiday season. Get into shape and enjoy your cake too!

Westside Workout is proudly participating in Shape Magazine’s national fund raiser for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. For our “class” we are taking to the Santa Monica Mountains for a “Pilates inspired” hike. We will meet at Temescal Canyon on Sunday, October 16th, at 9:00am. Donation is $10 (or more).

Erica will discuss how thoughts and feelings impact achievement of your health goals. She will present a unique approach to goal setting by combining research on mindfulness and self-compassion along with specific strategies for shifting your thoughts and feelings to positively impact your choices. Erica will discuss how applying these strategies to your fitness goals is one step toward applying these strategies to the rest of your life.

Erica has a thriving psychotherapy practice in Santa Monica, and serves on the board of directors of the American Art Therapy Association.

Join us for our healthy lifestyle lecture on Saturday, June 25th, 3:00pm-5:00pm at the studio.

Dominique Adair, M.S., R.D., a Registered Dietitian and owner of Adair Fitness & Nutrition in Santa Monica will present, “Good Food vs. Bad Food – Is there such a thing?” This lively lecture will help you assess the healthiness of your diet by looking at it as a whole (and understanding the cumulative benefit of your food choices), rather than defining foods as either “all good” or”all bad”. **

Dominique earned her undergraduate degree at Barnard College/Columbia University and Master’s degree in clinical nutrition from City University of New York, graduating from both schools with Phi Beta Kappa honors.

An avid cyclist and hiker, Dominique is the epitome of living what she teaches. She is very fit, health conscious and committed to a healthy lifestyle for herself as well as her husband and ten-year old son. She is dedicated to educating and empowering her clients to make health-supporting choices through nutrition and fitness. Her philosophy is to keep it simple and real to promote long-term change.

Dominique is a regular contributor to CNN, FOX and MSNBC and a freelance health and nutrition writer with interviews and commentaries appearing in Newsweek, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan and many others. She is on the advisory boards of the National Academy of Sports Medicine and the American Council on Exercise for whom she translates scientific research into practical information their members can use. She is an adjunct professor of biological sciences at Santa Monica College and a consultant to athletic teams, corporate wellness programs and the entertainment industry.

I made Dominique’s acquaintance because my daughter and her son attend the same school where Dominique develops curriculum and teaches science. By combining the depth of her science background with a natural creative flair, she has made science come alive for the children. It is this same enthusiasm and knowledge that Dominique brings to her lectures.

We are in for a treat and a wealth of information on how to establish a satisfying, healthy way of eating.
