Julie Mastro, of Body by Design, explains that most people do Pilates in their day-to-day lives without even thinking about it.

“Pilates is the art of controlling every muscle while you’re doing a movement,” she said. “It doesn’t matter what you’re doing—as long as you’re controlling every muscle in a movement, you’re doing Pilates.” 

Of course, one can simply stop by her new facilities at 112 E. Lewis St. if one wishes to take part in her traditional Pilates classes.

Pura Vida 406 has moved to a new location in the Albemarle building at the corner of Main and Park streets.

The salon and spa was on the corner of B and Callender streets. It now makes home on the first floor of the recently remodeled Albemarle, which houses condominiums and modern, efficiency apartments. 

The Curated Closet, which made its home on Callender Street across from Sax & Fryer, has moved to a new location at 117 S. Main St.

“We’re real excited,” CEO and founder Caron Cooper said last week of the store, which offers premium donated vintage goods. She also runs its sister business, the Community Closet thrift store. “It’s just a nice location. We’ve seen an increase in foot traffic already. Sales are up. We have more space so people can see things. It’s really positive for our organization.’

Furniture builders and artists Jim Heilman and Garrick Faust had been talking for a couple of years about opening their own store for their products.

Both men specialize in reclaimed wood, mostly from old buildings at Yellowstone National Park that have been remodeled.

When Conley’s Books & Music moved recently to the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts, Heilman and Faust saw their opportunity in the spacious room left vacant, and Yellowstone Custom Creations was born.
