Updates

I really appreciate the designs I am seeing. Thank you all, I'll connect with everyone separately.  I've provided a 'brief' on the principles of Pilates as an FYI at the bottom of this.  It may help.

As a coach when I work with the instructors I am helping them uncover and get past a lot of dis-empowering thoughts, feelings and behaviors so that they can thrive in the profession. 

Colors - I am a red, violet, blue, green girl....a piece of art that I was drawn to for colors is

I also wanted to share my competitors links with you.

A logo that really works for a coach I know is  http://www.reclaimyourauthenticvoice.com/

My site will have the same elements, free gift, pages for packages, getting started etc.  However,  I would like my site to have a more 'energy' and be dynamic in terms of design, use of text etc.  I'll draw on colors, fonts, design to populate my website. Sites that have energy and incorporate do this well in my mind (or that attract me to delve deeper are:

Again thanks for helping me create my business message

1. Centering is considered to be the main focus
point of the Pilates Method. The ‘‘center’’ refers
to the center or core of the body and is usually
known as the ‘‘powerhouse’’.
2. Concentration is important in that it is the mind
that guides the body; hence focused concentration
is necessary when carrying out Pilates
exercises.
3. Control refers to the fact that when the work of
an exercise is being done from the center with
concentration, you will be in control of the
movements performed.
4. Precision refers to the precision Joseph Pilates
employed in developing each exercise and the
precision with each exercise should be carried
out. A common saying in the world of Pilates that
illustrates this is: ‘‘It is not how many, but how’’.
5. Breath is of utmost importance because all
exercises should be done with a rhythm to the
breathing for the purpose of obtaining optimal
circulation of oxygenated blood to all tissues of
the body.
6. And finally, flow refers to the graceful and
flowing succession of one exercise to another
during a Pilates session.

Project Deadline Extended
Reason: Hi designers. And thank you for submitting designs. The reason I am extending the deadline is that I haven't made a decision, and I haven't been able to get back to designers during the last 2 days. There are designs that are close, but not quite there yet. Please hang in with me.

Hi all,

Again thanks for submitting.  I got some feedback from advisors on many of the designs. Stacking the text so that PowerHouse is on one line and Connect Coaching on another didn't read for several of the advisors. The name of the business is PowerHouse Connect Coaching. The tagline is: Strengthen Your Business Muscle.

Hi I have uploaded Papeterie Haute -Ville Logo.  What I like is the gradations in the design that give a sense of movement and the balance with text. The powerhouse connect logo needs to have a sense of controlled movement and lengthening (reaching) energy. Although the poses shown in the exercise look static they are extremely energetic with tons of reaching and lengthening. When used with a site the color scheme will convey, abundance, nurturing, trust, strength.
