Happy Pilates Day!
⠀
Here’s a picture of me doing a cool bendy thing on my beloved A2.
⠀
In all seriousness though, Pilates isn’t about doing cool tricks and nobody cares.
⠀
Pilates saved my life 8 years ago. I’ll spare you the melodrama but it pulled me out of a really dark place and gave me a purpose that was more enriching than dancing on a stage. It taught me connection, empathy and how to really love people.
⠀
I feel so fortunate to wake up every day and whole heartedly love my work.
⠀
And while I’m at it - just wanted to say thank you to this wonderful community of movers and shakers here on the IG. I have learned so much from you all. 🙏
⠀
Happy Pilates Day!
⠀
xx,

“Is it okay if my baby is here during our session?”
⠀
Absolutely!
⠀
As a mother of two, I understand what it’s like having limited time for yourself. That’s why it is absolutely no problem to BYOB to our sessions.
⠀
If you need to nurse, nurse.
⠀
If you need to change, no problem.
⠀
And if Bebe cries, guess what? I’ve been there and seen it all!
⠀
New mamas (and daddy’s of course) deserve support in these early days. Anything that makes it easier for you to get that support is my mission.

Bird-dog reeemix 📀
⠀
I’ve been dealing with some vertigo lately so my world has been spinning. I finally got it under control thanks to several rounds of the Epley maneuver.
⠀
The perfectionist in me feels an ounce of shame admitting to the world that I’m dealing with a thing. And lately it’s felt like a lot of things i.e. pregnancy, injury, over-use, pain and now vertigo.
⠀
But I’m a human being. And maybe that’s okay to admit from time to time.
⠀
Anyway moving my head up and down was a major win today.
⠀
Happy Friday movers!! 🕺🏼

Hypertrophy 💪🏼
⠀
Here’s an example of what hypertrophy training in Pilates might look like.
⠀
I’m focusing on deltoid hypertrophy here in the classic “draw a sword” straight from the manual.
⠀
I am on one blue spring, which is a moderate resistance for me.
⠀
I then performed the exercises at high rep loads: 8 reps in each position for a grand total of 24 reps!! Whew 😅
⠀
Changing torso positioning helps target multiple fibers of the Delt and makes things a little more interesting during all those reps.
⠀
Repeat this exercise in a circuit class and BAM you’re looking at muscle mass gains.

How those arms feeling ??

When I tell people I’m a Pilates teacher, I’m quite certain they picture me jumping around, most definitely with a sweat band on, revving up a group like a cheerleader on game day.
⠀
However this tends to be more my speed (fast forwarded obviously)!
⠀
I’m just a girl, in her house shoes, guiding you to find more depth in your movement practice.
⠀
But also I’m your cheerleader- that’s spot on. 💁‍♀️

How many times have you been in Pilates class and you switch from a double leg exercise to a single leg and the instructor cues the class to go ahead and pop off a spring?
⠀
… I’ve seen it a lot.
⠀
Recently in a training, my students were teaching footwork on the reformer to each other and my student asked me, “I should lower her resistance, right?”
⠀
Why?
⠀
The Pilates universe has a load problem. And while everyone does not necessarily have to be on the same springs, we must continue to challenge our clients in order to make change.
⠀
The benefits of working bilaterally are massive - LOAD IT UPPP.

How to: “Tone a muscle”
⠀
Spoiler: you can’t.
⠀
Conversation unraveled this morning on my stories 👆and would love to hear your thoughts on how the industry uses logical fallacies to target and market fitness programs to women.
⠀
I have had to re-educate so many of my female clients on this topic!
⠀
Lifting heavy weights doesn’t “bulk you up” it makes you strong AF.
