Leg Pull Front.

Is mine perfect? Hell no.

Perfection is way overrated anyway.

You asked, we’re making it happen.

All THREE of my 6:30am classes are going ONLINE.

Because sometimes rolling out of bed, turning on your camera and meeting me on the mat is exactly what you need.

But please still come see me in person sometimes. I crave people.

SAVE THE DATE, BECAUSE FRIENDS.

Have you wanted to try my 6:30am Morning Club class, but 6:30am keeps looking at you like a personal attack?

Good news.

I’m bringing that same slightly unhinged, very welcoming energy to 6:00pm.

YOGA IN THE PARK
SEPTEMBER 9
6:00PM
Hydro Park, 70 Madawaska Blvd.
FREE

This is Pilates for real people.

When we do the roll-up and create belly rolls, WIN.

When we shake, we know we’re doing it right.

When you need to stop, you stop. There are always options.

You do not need to be flexible. You do not need to be “in shape.” You do not need to know a single thing about Pilates.

You just need to show up.

Bring a mat. Bring water. Bring a friend who has also been saying, “I should try one of Alicia’s classes sometime.”

This is sometime.

Try the class. Move your body. Laugh a little. Shake a little.

You never regret movement.

Pilates Friday, Saturday AND Sunday? Hells yes.

With me? Oh ya.

Hit the mat with me this weekend:

Friday 6:30am
Saturday 11:00am
Sunday 8:30am

Saturday is PWYC, so if you've always wanted to try a class, now is your chance.

Three chances to move, breathe, stretch, strengthen and start your day feeling damn good.

Pick your morning. Or come see me all three days. I fully support that kind of behaviour.

Want in? Comment which class you want and I’ll send you the link.

Maybe I’ll even sign you up as my guest.

Who knows.

Anything can happen around here.

A little chai, a little lunch, a little Joseph Pilates… and a whole lot of plotting for fall.

I’ve been doing some behind-the-scenes planning lately, and I keep coming back to the same things:

I want more early mornings with you.
More intentional movement.
More understanding of why we move the way we do.

And this one? I’ve wanted to do it for FOREVER.

Poppa Kerr and I have been planning Control: A Pilates Contrology Workshop — a 90-minute deep dive into Joseph Pilates’ original method and the 34 mat movements from his 1945 book, Return to Life Through Contrology.

We’re going back to the beginning.

The history.
The philosophy.
The weird and wonderful Joe Pilates-isms.
The original movements.
The progressions, modifications and little details that can completely change how a movement feels.

This isn’t about showing up and perfectly performing all 34 exercises.

It’s about learning. Experimenting. Asking questions. Moving with intention. And maybe understanding your own body a little better when you leave than when you walked in.

Control: A Pilates Contrology Workshop
Saturday, September 19
1:30 PM | 90 minutes
Hosted by Alicia Ott, Poppa Kerr and Union 108

Joe believed that physical fitness was essential to happiness.

I think he was onto something.

Also, if you’ve never seen the photos of Joe demonstrating these movements in his tiny fitted briefs… you are in for an educational experience.

Fall is going to be fun.

At 42, I’ve officially entered my stop giving a s**t and start giving a s**t about myself era.

While the youngest is at football practice, I cracked open my SIGNED copy of The New Perimenopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, ordered through White Pine.

Because no one is coming to hand us a medal for running ourselves into the ground.

My secret to my 40s?

More s*x.
More me time.
More muscle.
More sleep.
More boundaries.
More doing what feels good instead of what looks good to everyone else.

Less guilt.
Less shrinking.
Less saying yes when my entire body is screaming no.
Less treating my own health, happiness and pleasure like they’re optional.

I’m not trying to get back to the woman I was in my 20s or 30s.

I’m learning this body. I’m taking up space. I’m getting stronger. And I’m becoming more of who I actually am.

What’s your secret to your 40s?

LET’S GET LOUD

Pilates, pleasure, breath, movement, and one seriously good Friday night.

Join us for a playful, beginner-friendly experience exploring how breath, voice, movement, and body awareness can help you feel stronger, more confident, and more connected to yourself.

The evening begins with a short, s*x-positive introduction from Natalia Jaczkowski of Kinks & Coffee and the CLIMAX Conference, followed by a 50-minute all-levels Pilates class led by Alicia Ott of Pilates with Alicia.

Expect deep breaths, mindful movement, a little self-expression, and absolutely no judgment.

After class, stick around for:

• Complimentary light snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments
• A curated, body-safe Pleasure Product Bar
• Time to browse, ask questions, mingle, and learn
• A welcoming space filled with curiosity, confidence, and good energy

No Pilates experience required. No awkward expectations. Just come ready to move, learn, laugh, and get a little louder.

Friday, August 7
6:30–8:00 p.m.
108 John Street North, Arnprior
Tickets: $33.28
