“Watch a cat as it gradually prepares to rise after a nap, leisurely stretching its forepaws (with extended claws). Observe closely how all its back muscles actually ripple as it stretches and relaxes itself. Contrology exercises emphasize the need for this constant stretching and relaxing.”
Joe Pilates, 1934, Your Health

💭 can you Imagine moving the carriage as an elephant either:

🐘 weighted and grounded through your hands and feet while lengthening your back between those points?

- or -

🐘🐘 as an elephant being hoisted into the air by a hoist around your belly and barely being able to touch your toenails to the mat?

Which one work’s best with your active imagination?

Comment 🐘 or 🐘🐘



p.s. did you know that there was no elephant exercise in Joe Pilates original reformer series? Especially none with heels down!

In group classes it’s easy to get caught up in how things look; comparing shapes, worrying if you’re doing it “right,” or wondering what others are thinking

But Pilates isn’t a performance.

No one’s grading you.

The real work is internal.

It’s about noticing how a movement feels in 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 body. The steadiness of your breath, the level of your effort, the depth of your control, all 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 sensations.

That awareness (hello, interoception 👋) is where all the best benefits live.

So soften the urge to copy, perfect, or impress.
Turn your attention inward.
Move in a way that makes sense for 𝒚𝒐𝒖 for today.

Because Pilates isn’t about how it looks from the outside,
it’s about how it lands 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒆. 💛

Thank you!

My Dearest Pilates Snob Community,

I’d like to take a moment to offer a sincere apology regarding a situation with my platform. It has come to my attention that I have committed an unforgivable offense: I have continued (relentlessly, even) to advocate for and to teach Pilates the way “Joseph Pilates actually intended it”.

I never meant for things to go this far.

While the world begs for fluffier transitions, pastel-colored modifications, and choreography that looks cute on Instagram, I’ve selfishly insisted on spine correctors, footwork done correctly, and exercises that actually, you know… work.

For this, I am truly sorry. And I certainly did not mean to alienate anyone by uttering the phrase, “wtf” more times than some people say hello. I’m sorry that I have upheld the traditional order, rhythm, and precision of the work when I could have easily given in to the chaos.

Sorry that I keep reminding you that your powerhouse exists.
Sorry that I refuse to pretend the hundred is “optional.”
And I’m deeply sorry for my inability to dilute Joseph Pilates’ life’s work into a palatable, low-effort, influencer-friendly version of “movement.”

Going forward, I will do my best to continue disappointing anyone hoping for watered-down content. I will strive to stay stubbornly committed to the classical lineage, even if it means fewer followers and more personal fulfillment.

May you someday find it in your cores to forgive me.
