Did you know there are different ways to do the Pilates Single Leg Stretch? 💜💪🏾

Single Leg Stretch kicks off the Classical Pilates Ab Series of 5, and while the movement stays true to its purpose, there are a few ways to approach it depending on your body, strength, and where you are in your Pilates journey.

Remember: Pilates isn't about making every body fit one version of an exercise—it's about finding the variation that helps *your* body move well.

Give these variations a try and let me know which one feels best for you in the comments! 👇🏾

Starting off Black Pilates History Month and celebrating the birthday of the OG, Kathy Grant, by doing what I love most…teaching Pilates!

A huge thank you to these amazing ladies for inviting me to be part of their wellness event this morning. It was such a joy to move, laugh, and share the practice together.

As a Black Pilates Instructor, it means even more to honor the legacy of Kathy Grant, a woman who helped shape Pilates while opening doors for generations to come. I don’t take that lightly. I’m grateful to play even a small role in continuing that legacy by creating spaces where every body feels seen, supported, and welcomed on the mat.

Happy Black Pilates History Month! Here’s to celebrating those who paved the way and continuing the work with every class we teach. 🖤✨

Here’s the truth nobody tells you before your first class: it happens. It’s not embarrassing, it’s actually a sign your body is working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Your muscles are twisting, contracting, and doing real work. Sometimes that means a release. That’s it. That’s the whole story.

So if it happens to you mid-class? Laugh it off. We’ve all been there (me included 😂)

Moral of the story: leave your ego at the door. Come move your body with me. No judgment, ever.

First class is waiting for you, link in bio 💜

Thank you, Mat Pilates & Pretty Vibes , for such a great event today! 💜✨

Nothing better than moving my body, sipping on delicious drinks from 7Sipsmobilebar , enjoying some tasty bites, and doing a little shopping. 🧘🏾‍♀️🍹🛍️

Until next time!

It’s my birthday today. 🥳🎂♌️

What a difference a year makes.

I’m feeling incredibly thankful and grateful. This past year has been a slow, intentional journey back to the things I love after loss and depression took so much of that joy away. Healing isn’t always loud, it can look like showing up, one class, one conversation, one day at a time.

Today, I’m celebrating not just another year of life, but the fact that I didn’t give up on myself.

If you’ve been meaning to come move with me, I’d love to celebrate with you on the mat!

And lastly... happy birthday to me. I’m proud of the woman I’ve become and the one I’m still growing into. Some days I still can’t believe I ended up in fitness. 😂 But here I am, helping people move, get stronger, and believe in themselves while rediscovering myself too.

Here’s to another year of healing, growth, joy, and doing what I love. Thank y’all for being part of the journey. 🥂💜
