✨ Train with me ✨
One of the things I love most about teaching Pilates is that every body tells a different story.
What may look like a simple footwork series, bridge, or side plank is often serving a very specific purpose. In this session, we focused on finding support from muscles instead of joints, improving pelvic stability, building strength where it’s needed most, and reinforcing movement patterns that help her feel stronger and more confident in everyday life.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Pilates is that it’s all about flexibility. In reality, many clients benefit more from learning how to create stability, control, and support throughout their movement.

And sometimes the biggest wins aren’t the flashy ones.
They’re the moments when:
✨ A movement feels easier.
✨ A joint feels more supported.
✨ A client trusts their body a little more.
✨ A skill that once felt impossible suddenly becomes possible.

Every exercise has a purpose. Every body has different needs. That’s the beauty of personalized Pilates tailored specifically for YOU. 💙

💜 Supporting Baby Josie & Her Family 💜
Many of you know that our community rallies around families when they need it most. Baby Josie was born at just 22 weeks and has spent her entire life in the NICU. She continues to face significant medical challenges, and her family has a long road ahead as they prepare for additional medical care, surgeries, and therapies.

To help support Josie and her family, I have donated three private 55-minute Pilates sessions at Move Well Fitness to the auction fundraiser.

Whether you're looking to:�✨ Build strength�✨ Improve mobility�✨ Reduce aches and pains�✨ Learn Pilates in a supportive one-on-one environment
these sessions are a great opportunity while also supporting a local family in need.

Thank you for supporting this sweet family and showing what a caring community we have. ❤️

As a mom, stories like Josie's are impossible to read without feeling deeply for her family. I had the privilege of getting to know her grandmother this year and they are a wonderful family. Thank you for considering a bid and helping support them during this journey. 💜

One of the more frustrating parts of living with EDS/hyper mobility is that injuries can happen when you least expect them.

I recently hurt myself stretching before a simple walk in my neighborhood.

Not during an intense workout.
Not hiking.
Not lifting heavy.

Stretching.

That’s the difficult reality of connective tissue disorders sometimes – things that are generally considered “healthy” or harmless can still create problems if our bodies lack enough stability to support the movement.

So lately, my focus in Pilates has been less about increasing flexibility and more about building strength and support.

My PT currently has me following a tendinitis protocol, focused on progressive strengthening, and it’s been such an important reminder:

Hypermobile bodies often don’t need more mobility. We need more stability for the mobility we already have. I don’t need to be doing end range stretching.

Learning to work WITH my body instead of against it continues to be one of the greatest lessons in this journey.

Pilates for real-life adventures 💛

We booked a trip back to Banff National Park ⛰️💛

This will be our second time visiting, and there are a few hikes I’m hoping to do this time that I wasn’t able to do before.

Living with EDS/hypermobility means I get injured easily and regularly deal with pain, so preparing for adventures like this takes intention. I can’t just “push through” and hope my body cooperates. I have to build strength, stability, endurance, and body awareness in a way that supports *my* body.

That’s one of the reasons Pilates has been such a gift for me.

It has taught me to better listen to my body instead of constantly fighting against it. To meet my body where it is. To build supportive strength and control instead of always chasing intensity.

Right now that looks like focusing on glute max, glute med, obliques, balance, and stability so hopefully I can enjoy the beautiful hikes we have on our wishlist. ✨

My niece originally told me about EDS a few years ago and things I had been experiencing my whole life started making sense. I was diagnosed with EDS last year. For me it was a relief to know the why behind so many different seemingly unrelated things I struggled with. There is a big genetic component and I’m fairly certain one if not both of my girls have it too. We are currently waiting on genetic testing. I am starting a CE course this coming week on EDS and HSD. I’m excited to learn more about it to help my clients, children, and myself.

Pilates is about so much more than “working out.”
I love that this method can support women through so many different seasons of life—from building strength and balance to simply helping us move and feel better day-to-day.

After teaching Pilates for over 20 years, I’ve seen how powerful intentional movement can be. 🤍

One of my favorite ballets to dance in was choreographed by Ben Stevenson, Dracula. I was dancing with Fort Worth Dallas Ballet when Ben came as Artistic Director and renamed it Texas Ballet Theater. He had an amazing career and influence on the ballet community.
