Pilates with Alexis

Pilates with Alexis Comprehensively Trained Pilates Instructor. Teaching group and private lessons. Helping your move your body safely to build strength, flexibility and stability.

Welcome! My name is Alexis and my journey with learning and practicing Charkra Healing began more than twelve years ago with my martial arts training. My education and usage of essential oils started over twenty years ago in Portland, Oregon. I have always turned to holistic healing for my wellness through massage, acupuncture, reiki, tea, essential oils, etc. It only made sense to share and help

guide others on their journey to learning and listening to their own bodies. COMING SOON! I offer small group and individual crystal sound bath meditation sessions. The sessions help to relax your mind, remove negative energy, and bring the body back to a positive state. One-on-one sessions are specific to you with guidance to help balance your system.

Let’s move onto semi circle after practicing the prep.

You want to feel supported but also able to move the carriage. This is a spine exercise so make sure you are all in the shoulders.

We are articulating thru the spine so please check with her instructor to ensure this is available and safe for your body.

Semi- circle prep!

Let’s warm up a little and then start moving into semi circle prep.

You want to move slowly and find your breath.

Feet are in pilates V or turned out with heels together.

Let’s get into the side of the body with mermaid, and then we’re gonna start to find rotation with thread the needle, and then finally end with some extension in the spine.

be sure to repeat this on the other side of the body.

Let’s stay on the chair with the spit pedals!

Press up so you feel you are hovering in the air and then start to move just the lower body. You will need to adjust your handles to the height that works for you.

Be sure you dump into the shoulders!

Give it a try!

I’m excited to get to play around with a split pedal chair!

Here we’re gonna be working with the lower body play around with your spring settings. It’s gonna be different for each body that’s in front of you.

either way, whether the springs are heavier or lighter it’s going to be a challenge to try to move both legs at the same time when the pedals are split.

Let’s stay on the tower with the roll down bar on and work on finding some extension.

i’m a big fan of the roll down bar as it gives your body a really great cue to stay in alignment and especially in your abdominal.

it’s easy to let the arms take over but we don’t want to let that happen.

We’re gonna find extension on the way down and then flexion on the way back up after a couple times will reverse that flow.

make sure you check with your Instructor that this is safe to do in your body and then go ahead and give it a try.

I am back!

Different equipment, same principles.

Working with the Stott reformer / tower is a change from teaching on Balanced Body equipment.

The biggest difference I noticed right away is the springs. They definitely feel heavier on Stott.

I’m excited to be back to moving my body and also teaching others.

Be sure to follow for more tower flows, split pedal chair and more!

Let’s bridge!

Bridging on the reformer.

I would put heavy springs on to hold the carriage in place so you can focus on the movement of the bridges.

Lots of variations and levels for bridging but the foundation elements stay the same.

Move slow, with control and find your breath.

Quadruped work using the short box on the reformer.

If you’re on balanced body reformer, I would recommend one red spring if you’re looking to really fire up your abdominals go one blue.

If you were on Stott equipment, I would recommend one blue and if you really want to fire things up one white spring.

Be careful you don’t jump into the shoulders or the lower back. Those are the two things that I see happen the most when we’re in this position on the reformer.

Remember, it’s not about how many repetitions we do it it’s about quality over quantity.

Give it a try today and let me know how you like this flow!

When someone comes to a group class or a private session, they are looking for guidance and to not have to make a decision.

We get decision fatigue.

I think about how many decisions you make throughout the day, especially if you have children. Than the decision count will definitely be higher!

that’s why by the time you come to your workout, it’s nice to be told what to do. Now you just get to listen and be guided through a safe flow.

And during it, you connect your mind and body and forget about everything else that’s been happening outside of the studio doors.
