hello, it's another incredibly grey day in berlin. you would think it's winter still - but there is a lot to be grateful for and a lot of good changes. i am sitting next to rebecca rainey, who flew from new york to berlin exactly a year after me. it's one of those serendipitous things in life: we met at erika bloom pilates, where i was giving thai massages. i talked about moving to berlin and then i did it. then i got an email from rebecca, and then she did it. yeah!
now we are sitting in kreuzberg at a cafe called pfeiffers. we have been brainstorming a new zine idea for the last three hours or so. and now it is time for the business of blogging. she is wearing an orange scarf, kind of like the orange icon on this blogger. she is an amazing human being and teaches a mean pilates mat. so, this is real-time introduction folks: meet rebecca.
hallo! thank you jenn for the lovely introduction. i'm very excited to join jenn and every buddha body. berlin has been good to me so far and with my new bike rainbow i'm discovering more and more. so fun. without further ado i'll share my bio with you.
Rebecca Rainey is a certified Pilates mat instructor and professional dancer. She is certified through Erika Bloom Pilates Plus in NYC, an internationally recognized certification. After studying Pilates since 1999, working as an assistant manager at Erika Bloom and from a curiosity to learn more about the mechanics of the body Rebecca was compelled to become certified. Using her kinesthetic awareness of the body from her dance background, a regular yoga practice, and her Pilates knowledge, she guides clients to a new level of fitness - in mind and body.
Initially from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Rebecca moved to Berlin in January 2010 after living in NYC for seven years.
jenn and i have been talking a lot recently about expanding every buddha body and clarifying its vision. this is the first step towards making every buddha body a broader collective - we hope that more practitioners and explorers of the body-mind-spirit connection will join us in the future.
we are very excited to share our latest thoughts and ever-evolving vision - (check it! hot off the press!) (ich habe das gehört! - rebecca's latest favorite german phrase).
every buddha body is a collective of bodywork and yoga practitioners built on the idea that everyone is a buddha - an "awakened one" - and every body deserves to feel like one. we believe that you - no matter your background or body type - have the potential to experience health and balance in your body and mind. through the mediums of traditional thai massage, yoga, movement, pilates and conscious nutrition, we have created a space where you can reclaim your body and receive guidance in the realization of your optimal physical and mental manifestation of self - simply a state of bliss.
if you would like to schedule a thai massage, pilates or yoga session with one of us, you can find us on these days. we love to ride our bikes, especially to your house (of course within reason, within AB zones).

(think flashdance...)
once again, thanks for all of the love you've given every buddha body this past year. we hope you will enjoy the newest modality on the mat.
happy finally almost kinda sorta springtime. stay warm berliners.
xo jenn and rebecca
