As many of you know, the 🧠 doesn’t stop when you have your own business. There’s no balance especially when you are juggling young children, family, team, client schedules, marketing, studio maintenance, cooking meals & keeping the house somewhat decent. 🤣 yeah right.
Anyway, if you’re ever in the same boat, don’t feel alone. I feel you.
My instant remedy when I’m in the overwhelm, is breathing in the forest. Wandering under these trees feels like a warm hug. 🌲❤️
Find your remedy in nature.

Pulling straps doesn’t have to start on the reformer.

For clients who are new to the movement—or still building strength—I like to begin with light weights. It gives us space to slow things down and really organize the shoulder girdle without the added load of the straps.

We focus on stabilizing the shoulders down the back, creating length through the neck, and allowing the spine to extend from a place of support rather than strain.

Sometimes stepping away from the equipment is exactly what helps the body understand the work more clearly!

Building strength is one thing—understanding how to use it is everything.

Yoga was my first love before I found Pilates! Just me and my mat. Being with myself in the moment.
Today was one of those days.
Thankful for for allowing me to continue practicing with one of my favorite teachers from NYC days ❤️. Forever grateful

Day 1 & 2 has been more than I expected, simply amazing!

Listening to and learning from the diverse perspectives of these incredible teachers is what continues to shape me as a teacher- evolving, growing, and staying curious in my work.

There are endless ways to connect with the body in front of us. It’s not about repeating what we’ve memorized from a manual—it’s about truly seeing each individual, their potential, and guiding them in a way that helps bring it to life.

Swan driving coz it’s sunny!!
Seems like ages ago, but a few weeks ago, I was able to make space for a much needed solo weekend away from the ☔️ and some ☀️ time.
Found this gem of a studio minutes from my friend’s place! ❤️

Thank you Mildraide for a wonderful sesh! Can’t wait to come back!
