January Bras & Brunch Featuring Marla Rice of Core Essentials
On Sunday, January 3rd, Bras & Brunch will host Marla Rice, Owner of Core Essentials, a Pilates studio. Studies show that Pilates improves posture, reduces stress, and creates long, lean, muscles. Marla never dreamed of owning her own Pilates studio, until Bill Marriott, Chairman and CEO of Marriott International, Inc. , gave her the opportunity. As many of Mr. Marriott’s competitors know, he knows a great deal about running a successful business. Marla was Bill’s personal Pilates instructor and he came to rely and respect her instruction so much that he convinced her to go into business for herself, and open a Pilates studio in his corporate office building. He made her an offer she couldn’t refuse, and the rest is history.
Come meet Marla and learn about all the benefits of Pilates. She will be doing a show and tell. This is a wonderful way to work out as you start to see and feel the benefits almost immediately. Every January Bras & Brunch attendee will receive a complimentary 30-minute mat class, and will be entered to win a FREE 60-minute private session on the reformer at her studio ($125 value).
Complimentary Champagne, Mimosas and light brunch will be served!
WHEN: 10:30 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.
