The more I do Pilates, the more I fall in love wit The more I do Pilates, the more I fall in love with it. ❤️ How about you?

This flow on the Pilates Cadillac felt divine.  Have you tried this machine? It’s so effective at simultaneously lengthening and strengthening the body.  I always feel taller after a session. 😊

Pilates demands focus, control, strength, flexibility, and coordination. And the result is an incredibly capable body and a calm mind. 

It’s a shame that Joseph Pilates didn’t live to see the full impact of his method and it’s capacity to inspire, strengthen, and heal.

I hope you are having a great day! 
Jody

The 100. 🔥 Pilates exercises are so challenging The 100. 🔥 Pilates exercises are so challenging, but don’t worry….there’s a variation that will meet your body where it’s at today.  And there are new variations right around the corner that act like stepping stones, leading you to most advanced version of the exercise. 😊

Amazing results will pop up during the entire process, not just at your destination.

Which variation fits you best today?
Have a great day! ❤️

PS - There’s a tutorial for this exercise on my platform that covers how to do the original exercise with precision, and variations to meet you where you are today.

This is a glimpse into my process.  I think on paper, then I think on the mat, and then I create a class (or two). 

Join me on the mat. 😊 My online classes are now available.  I offer both Classical Pilates classes and Pilates-inspired classes. 

I always offer different levels, because I think workouts should meet you exactly where you are today and over time take you to where you want to go. 

Have a great day. ❤️

Try this Pilates-inspired flow. 😊💕 Before P Try this Pilates-inspired flow. 😊💕

Before Pilates filled my world, it was yoga.  And before yoga, it was dance. Movement has always been center stage for me.

This month has been an exciting one, but also a stressful one.  But when I hit the mat, everything fades away…and there is just me, music, and movement.  It is the most  peaceful, grounding, calming sensation in the world. 

What does movement do for you?  How does it make you feel? 

I hope you have a good day today.
And I hope you have something in your life that brings you back to center and makes you feel happy.
Jody

The Pilates roll up. This exercise builds STRONG a The Pilates roll up. This exercise builds STRONG abs and a flexible supple spine….but what if you can’t get up? And once you do, how can you get maximum benefits?

Here are some tips from my recent tutorial.

1. Cat cow is your new best friend to build spinal mobility.
2. Ab curl - break it up and start strengthening your upper abs.
3. 1/2 roll back - flex your lumbar spine with support from your abdominals.  Further strengthen your abdominals. Make sure things feel good. 
4. Freeze. Freeze. And freeze. Momentum does NOT belong when doing the roll up.  Only smooth muscular control. I like this game called freeze where you challenge yourself to freeze at any moment. 
5. Support your head and encourage the head to be heavy in the hands.  This is another way of saying, ‘Stop trying to use your neck to get up’. Your neck won’t get you very far. And if you keep trying to use it to compensate for weak abs it will make you very uncomfortable.

 I hope this helps you! 😊😊😊Want more tips and tricks?  Ready to feel amazing? Join me on my platform. First 7 days are free. 

Have a great day! ❤️
