The holidays can be stressful at times. Take a moment, find a quiet space, and sit or lie down comfortably and take a few deep breaths. You can have your eyes closed if you wish. Breathe in slowly through your nose, and slowly exhale through your nose. Visualize the air filling all the depths of your lungs as you inhale, and feel all those deep spots emptying as you exhale.

May your holidays be filled with fun, friends and family, and a few moments to yourself to relax.

For all of you who wished you could see yourself when I said you were leaning backwards (or forwards, or otherwise crooked), now you can! The mirror has arrived.

My mind’s all discombobulated—I thought it was the 13th today, but no. The number 13 was in my mind because I just returned on Monday from the 4th, and last, in-person seminar for The Vertical Workshop’s Bridge program. It has been great, a total of 13 of us learning from Shari Berkovitz. What a great group of teachers, it has been so fun getting to know them all and learn together! (And eat cake together!)

Excited to be heading out to start an additional Pilates teacher training with Shari Berkovitz from The Vertical Workshop! Can’t wait to share all I learn with all of my clients.

We provide the finest in Pilates education for all styles: sessions, classes, online streaming workouts and webinars, continuing education, teacher training (classical pilates apprenticeship), and bridge participation (classical Pilates).

A great reminder about why it’s so important to get up and move!

If you would like some help learning exercises to move and stretch your body, call or text me. We can do in-person or zoom lessons.

Where does your body ache after periods of inactivity?

Here's your reminder to stand up, stretch — or even take a walk! Your body (and brain) will thank you: [Video courtesy of TED-Ed] | 301 comments on LinkedIn

It's National Backward Day!

National backward day encourages us to do things oppositely. It's a time to take a look at our actions to see how reversing them can be effective and fun. Spend the day finding new ways to do things in reverse.

This exercise is called backwards arms. It is great for opening up the chest and back, and stretching the shoulders. Something we all need since we spend a lot of time in the opposite position, hunched over a computer or other device. Being a former desk jockey myself, this movement didn’t start out easy for me, but now it feels good.

Want to try it?

A bright new addition to the studio! So excited to receive my Contrology Arm chair today. So great for finding your arm/back connection as well as working on your posture. Come and play!

Indeed it is!

The strength and flexibility workout is having a moment. What can — and can’t — it do for us?
