StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Pilates on Demand, April Corner's Inspiring Book & More!

PTBOCanada is delighted to to be running StooNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

Pilates on Demand is a unique business concept in that it started out pre-Covid, and remains an entirely online concept. Owner Jessica Dalliday and her team of instructors deliver therapeutic exercise like Pilates, meditation and yoga into the comfort of your own home. Their approach is focussed on inclusivity and body diversity and classes range from 10 – 30 minutes. Their Covid pivot included the addition of live classes, in order to facilitate more social connections and they will remain. Check out the free 14-day trial at pilatesondemand.ca.

April Corner was diagnosed with Otosclerosis at the age of 25. An abnormal growth of bone in the middle ear, it causes hearing loss. After struggling with her situation for a few years, April finally learned to embrace her hearing aids and realized that they were actually her superpower. Inspired, April has written a book called What’s Your Superpower? It’s a conversation starter between kids and parents about people with different abilities, not disabilities. Check it out on Facebook here, or email aprilcorner@gmail.com to order a copy.

Pensieri, now operating as Blue Shoes, has been an iconic shoe store in Downtown Peterborough for 31 years!

Congratulations to the entire team, and be sure to get in to bring your best wishes and take advantage of the store closing deals.
