Dear Alpinstore community,<\/h2>

During this confinement period, it is today IMPERATIVE<\/strong> to stay at home to first protect all the exposed individuals who care for us, feed us, and meet our basic needs. It is also VITAL<\/strong> to protect our elders, our loved ones, and ourselves because the virus can affect us all.<\/p>

Yet our shared passion for outdoor<\/strong>, sport<\/strong>, nature<\/strong>, and effort<\/strong> complicates our relationship with the couch, the fridge, and the four walls that surround us far from our mountains. So Alpinstore<\/strong> takes the bet to support you during this confinement period to stay fit with our partner O pilates – Brignais (69)<\/strong>!<\/p>

O'pilates<\/p>

The O Pilates<\/strong> studio and its instructors will offer us fundamental exercises in video form over the coming weeks – as this may unfortunately continue – to better understand our bodies and stay fit. Whether you are passionate about Trail<\/strong>, climbing<\/strong> thanks to our selection of quality climbing gear<\/a>, mountaineering<\/strong>, trekking<\/strong>, running<\/strong>, or simply hiking<\/strong> with family, these exercises are for you.<\/p>

Because who could possibly have power over our body and our mind, right, WHO?<\/p>

Joseph Hubertus Pilates – and yes, there is a man behind this holistic method – draws part of the principles of his method from his own experiences… of confinement. Suffering from chronic asthma, he is "confined" in his lungs and forced into respiratory confinement; during World War I, he is imprisoned on the Isle of Man (UK) and forced into a confinement of body and mind. Nevertheless, Joe Pilates (yes, that’s what we call him among insiders) became an accomplished athlete in skiing, diving, yoga, boxing, and gymnastics. So, he would – and his method has – a rightful place here, among us, the community of real<\/strong> natures<\/strong> gathered around Alpinstore.<\/p>

Learning Pilates is learning self-control, the Contrology © that Joe Pilates defines as a global method engaging the mind, body, and spirit.<\/p>

Every Thursday, Alpinstore invites you to meet with the team from Studio O'Pilates.<\/strong><\/h2>

Lionel <\/strong>– Founder of Studio O'Pilates, Nicolas and Virginie will offer you some Pilates exercises, more or less advanced, to stay upright, fit, and without forms. Discovering the Pilates method is also crossing into other sports universes like stretching, yoga, Tai Chi, or floor barre. Engaging your core, the In, up & forward… all these terms that once mastered you can integrate into your sports routine of your favorite sport… yes yes soon! If hiking is one of your favorite activities, think of our hiking gear<\/a> and our low hiking shoes<\/a> to be ready to resume your escapades.<\/p>

Alpinstore<\/strong> is committed to providing you with good practice advice in Pilates.<\/p>
