By the end of the day, carrying everything adds up. Stiffness from work, carrying kids, carrying everyone and everything.

What you need isn’t complicated. Just something quick, whole-body, that gets you a little more motion so everyday movement feels easier. Simple.

You’ve probably tried the typical stretches. They help a little, but you’re always left wanting more.

That’s where mermaid comes in. 🧜‍♀️

Mermaid is a whole-body stretch designed around side bending your spine, but it hits a lot more than just your sides.

Whenever, we say mermaid is next in class, theres an audible sigh of relief across the whole studio. That’s how you know it’s doing its job.

You can do this one on the floor in just a couple of minutes. You’ll feel the end of the day stiffness start to release, and getting up off the floor will feel that much easier too.

Set-up:
-Z-sit with your legs (shown in video)
-arms out in a a T
-sit tall

5-6 reps each direction, then switch your legs and repeat in the other side.

Follow along with the video to recreate mermaid at home, start to finish. Then save it for later too. We’ll continue sharing our go-to exercises this week for stiffness.

Tell us, have you already been doing mermaid, or is this a new one for you? 🧜‍♀️

We’ll be posting the full breakdown with modifications on our YouTube page for Core & Restore Pilates, great option if z-sitting is a challenge right now, stay tuned.

You feel like you don’t have time for workouts because you’re always taking care of everyone. You run out of time for you.

What you really want is something for yourself, so you can recharge and stop letting yourself be an after thought in the schedule.

You tried fitting in your workouts when you had time, but it never worked.

Book the Pilates class before your week fills up. Put it on the calendar. Treat it like an appointment, that you don’t cancel on because you deserve to show up for yourself too.

So you blocked that time as part of your week and then you started working out consistently.

You finally had something that was just yours, so you could recharge from caring for everyone else but you, and feel more present at home, just by showing up for a Pilates class.

Stop waiting for time to appear. Book your Pilates class and make yourself part of the schedule.

You feel intimidated by the idea of joining a Pilates studio because your body doesn’t look a certain way.

You need a place that feels safe to show up just as you are, where you will not be judged, but instead welcomed eagerly by classmates and instructors.

You’ve arrived at Core & Restore Pilates.

You feel like a failure if you aren’t always motivated to go to Pilates, thinking everyone must somehow have more motivation than you.

What you really want is the routine and accountability built in already for the days when it would be easier not to go to Pilates, so you don’t have to rely on your own motivation alone.

You’ve let skipping a workout, a busy schedule, or a trip define that you can’t stick with a workout. The break means you aren’t committed.

But you don’t need to keep trying another type of fitness hoping it will stick. You need a team like Core & Restore Pilates behind you help create the rhythm of movement into all the seasons life throws.

All you need to do is choose our New Client Offer and we will build that routine that fits your season of life. Whether that means early rising for a 6am class, the between school drop off/pickup, the evening unplug, finding a new normal in retirement, or a Saturday stretch class. We will find the best fit with you.

So when life happens or gets hectic because it will, you won’t have felt like you failed by missing a week. You’ll just pick the class back up next week with an excitement to be back moving.

You don’t need to build this new routine alone, Core & Restore Pilates has you covered. Link in bio or DM to start moving ✨

You want to stay active, but the week has caught up to you and thought of making it to the studio for Pilates feels impossible.

What you really want is yo stay consistent in your exercise, even when the motivation isn’t there because truthfully it won’t always be there.

You’ve tried before to stay consistent on your own, but the reasons not to show up win out.

What you really need is accountability, an instructor to check in if you haven’t been in and a hype crew that celebrates showing up when you didn’t want to come.

All you need is the right community to help you build the habit one class at a time. And that community is Core & Restore Pilates.

So you can stay consistent even on the days it feels hard and celebrate showing up for yourself always. Building a stronger version of yourself one session at a time.

You feel stiff in your back, all the time now. You stretch, but it never really goes away.

And it’s not just the stiffness itself. It’s the quiet moment every time you stand up from a chair a little slower than you used to, and think, when did I start feeling this way?

What you really want isn’t just relief, it’s to feel like yourself again. To move through your day without that small reminder that something’s changed.

You’ve tried stretching. Hot showers. Warming up before workouts. You’ve put in the effort. It just hasn’t been enough.

That’s where Pilates comes in.

At Core & Restore PIlates, we help you ditch the old stretching routine that isn’t working and learn movements that actually do.

You’ll learn to move your spine in every direction it’s meant to move: flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation. The motions that aren’t part of your routine intentionally when life gets busy and you stop moving the way your body needs.

So you can finally stand up, move through your day, and not hesitate anymore. Not because you’re not getting older but because you’re finally giving your body what it’s been asking for.

Comment “STRETCH” and we’ll find the right fit for you to join us at Core & Restore Pilates ✨

I used to think I was just…inflexible. Like, that is just who I am since I was in elementary school doing the presidential fitness test.

I couldn’t even bend down and touch my toes. 🫣

What I really wanted was simple to be able to sit up straight with my legs out in front of me, so I could sit on the floor and actually play with my oldest daughter without discomfort when she was a baby.

I tried stretching at home. I tried working it into my regular workouts with an active warmup. Nothing really changed. I figured I’d always be the “inflexible one.”

Then I met Maria and I started going to Pilates classes consistently, twice a week.

And I realized something, stretching alone was never going to fix it. What I actually needed was a practice that helped my whole body move better together, not just trying to stretch one thing at a time.

Once I stayed consistent in Pilates, everything started to shift.

Slowly, I could sit with my legs out straight on the floor, no discomfort, without a second thought about it. I don’t say, “I’m not flexible” anymore.

This is my own story as co-owner of Core & Restore Pilates, one of the reasons I believe so deeply in what this practice can do.

If any part of it sounds familiar, I’d love to hear in the comments or I invite you to follow along to see how Pilates can change the story for you of always being the “inflexible one” too. -Lauren
