It’s about more than just the hour in the studio.

I’ve been working with a client with scoliosis, and our latest session was a perfect example of why body awareness is the ultimate staple for progression.

We spent our time on the Cadillac working through some technical (but vital) goals:

1. Opening the “locked” areas - Her thoracic spine was tight, so we focused on breathwork to expand the rib cage.

2. Finding length - Decompressing the lumbar spine, especially on the concave side where she felt most “crunched.”

3. Her “Aha!” moment - Taking those sensations, understanding her curves so she can sense and find de-rotation.

I love giving “homework” because the real progress happens when you’re not with me. By giving her small, applicable tools for her daily life, she’s learning to be her own best advocate for her spine.

That’s the power of transferable movement! 🧠✨

If you’re looking for some resources & application for scoliosis here are my favorites:

1) - I studied & completed Level 1 & 2 with Karena and she is amazing. Her work really taught me how to see Scoli in 3D and understand how to read x-rays and determine what’s happening so I can best help my amazing clients, as well as how to make this work approachable to a variety of clientele. I found her training is applicable to working with all of my clients not just those with Scoli. I love the extreme detail in her training and how my eyes were trained. 🥰

2) - I have been following Erin for years and I love her approach and the way she challenges the medical field. Scoli is so wildly misunderstood and not often handled in a way that supports people from day 1. I have several of her books and they have shaped the way I advocate for my clients, how I talk with them from mindset to movement. I absolutely love her approach as well and she has an incredible course in Nashville annually. 👏 (it’s on my list to attend. One of my instructors went back in 2024 and spoke highly of it)!

If you have Scoli, find a great trainer so you can stay strong, prevent pain, and THRIVE. Your curves are part of who you are, take care of them! 🙏

Let’s talk about the “Worthiness Gap” ⬇️

In the spirit of our theme of Alignment, I’ve been sitting with this quote: “When you believe you are worthy, you stop trying to prove yourself and start trying to share yourself.” (From Jamie Kern Lima’s book Worthy that we are reading in The Well Bookclub).

I realized that whenever I feel out of alignment, it’s usually because I’m trying to prove my value to someone else (or even to myself). But alignment is the path of least resistance. It’s what happens when your soul finally accepts that you are enough, exactly as you are.

Challenge for the week: Identify one area where you are “trying to prove yourself.” How can you shift that into simply “sharing” your gifts instead?

Let’s hold each other accountable in the comments! ✍️✨

She’s all that and then some. 🤌

Common misconception: Pilates = Only the Reformer.

The reality: MMC is a fully equipped studio because the magic happens when you use the whole system & more!

Beautiful to look at, but she’s “capable” of giving you a serious workout. Come explore the equipment & detail you didn’t know you needed.

It started with 6 weeks. It turned into a brand-new life. 🌟

When Pramila joined our 6-Week Challenge, she was looking for a way to turn her health around after a wake-up call from her doctor. Those first 6 weeks were all about Focus, Discovery, and Commitment—and she nailed it.

But she didn’t stop there. 💪👏

Pramila took that momentum and turned it into 6 months of pure consistency. By staying engaged in sessions and finding the perfect lifestyle balance, she has officially lost 45 pounds and says she feels like a “new person.”

As Pramila says: “Give yourself a chance.” Your health is a long-term investment, and Pramila is proof that when you commit to the process, the results will follow.

Meet the Ladder!

If you’ve been living on the Reformer, it’s time to find your power & balance on the Pilates Tower. Using our ladder units, we’re taking those classic Pilates principles, traditional pilates tower work and applying them to big, functional movements that help you build more strength to progress into those advanced pilates movements. (Perfect for anyone looking to move up a level at the studio from P1 to P2 or even from P2 to a P3 class!)

You’ll see familiar movements but with a vertical association to gravity and functional movement done now with the springs from a unique angle of pull, such as:
• Vertical Planks & Pull-ups: Gravity works differently here!
• Deep Squats: Build stability that carries over into your daily life.
• Total Autonomy: Without the moving carriage, it’s all you.

The best part? Those springs are the ultimate truth-tellers. They won’t let you cheat—if your alignment is off or one side is working harder than the other, they’ll “tattle” on you instantly with feedback. It’s the perfect way to get more in tune with your body and discover strength you didn’t know you had.

New on the schedule this Week:
• Mondays @ 10:00 AM – Pilates Tower w/ Harli | In Tower we focus on alignment and functional strength.

• Saturdays @ 9:30 AM – Mat Pilates w/ Lucia 🧘‍♀️Mat is the foundation of everything we do.

• Sundays @ 11:30 AM – Gyrotonic Class w/ Denysha 🌀 ((Note: This class is running for the next 2 weeks only! Don’t miss this fluid, circular movement experience.))

Whether you’re looking to find your center or just want to see if you can outsmart the springs, we can’t wait to see you in the studio.

We talk alignment a lot through cues but alignment isn’t just about how you “look” in the mirror or how perfect your posture is; it’s about how you feel in your skin.

When we align our breath with our core and movement, we create space for better health, clearer thoughts, and more energy in our daily lives.

Enjoy flowing through this month with alignment not only of your center but in movement with your center. 💜🥰
