Wow! I'm feeling so humbled today. I got to spend an hour and a half with three beautiful souls. We played! We bonded! We practiced our Pilates! We raised money for the House of Mercy Food Pantry. This event brought $500 to feed local families though the Food Pantry. I need a minute to give praise for Erin Abrahams Cimbal, Lauren T. Kopek, Nancy R. Sanchez, and Ruthann Pisaretz! You beautiful souls made this a wonderful success!

With everything going on and people feeling the pinch at the store, isn't helping others while you enjoy your Pilates a great thing? See my Joe's Grym Pilates Sessions to benefit the House of Mercy Food Pantry. Tickets aka donation at www.uprtpilates.studio

Amen. said it so perfectly. JOSEPH PILATES INTENDED a System. If your club isn't teaching you the full System it's time for you to up your Pilates life! Find an NCPT-Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher in a studio teaching classical Pilates so you get the full benefit of your efforts!

What feels like separate exercises, are actually all part of the same system.

Learning the Pilates method can be easier to grasp when you can visualize the whole picture through something like the actions of the spine, and then working with the way it changes as your body moves through different exercises.

Everything is connected.

Hopefully you’ve found a teacher who makes connections for, and with, you.

Use your imagination and open your mind,
and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you find! 🤗

I demonstrate Spine Stretch Forward on the Contrology Wunda Chair with Lesley Logan during an eLevate Workshop Weekend. eLevate is a fabulous investment in my Pilates life.

Grateful for movement! Grateful for a consistent Pilates practice. It is the thing that enables my life in so many areas, travel, sports, daily life! And yesterday at the Fairfax County Employee Field and Fitness Day, I dragged the Fire Department's 165 pound dummy like a boss!!! Many younger than me were not budging the dummy.

What a Peach! It's a hot mess today. We got this, with a whole team, we got this. Here's to a successful renovation and resale!

This is how I turn sewing, a normally seated hobby into a Pilates challenge. Yes, i have a full size ironing board, but this way I challenge myself to get onto the floor and up again dozens of time during a sewing session. Look, No Hands!
