The Pilates Mat exercises were where it all began! Yep, Joseph Pilates started with his genius, forward thinking with the hardest workout-the Mat. after he realized just how much support, assistance, and resistance his clients needed to do his Mat work her created the Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair etc. But, what if you only have the Mat to work with? I mean, it would be nice to have a full Pilates studio at your beck and call but until then how can you stay connected while doing your Pilates Mat practice?

A TheraBand is useful in so many ways! It can help you stretch, challenge your strength and even be the springs and opposition that our Pilates equipment provides. So, bringing it to class this week we will find out how many ways the TheraBand can help us and a few exercises where it challenges our work!
The other day my client noticed it was amazing how she could keep her heels together. It’s a problem we’ve been focusing on for 4 years. She said, “Who knew it wasn’t a problem with my heels?” I laughed! Of course I knew, it’s why we’d been focusing on here seat and inner thighs. This week, let’s focus on how we can keep it all together by focusing less on what’s touching and more on how we make that happen.

I know most of us are always looking to shed the weight whether physical or figurative. But, this week, I do want to bring a little weight into our practice. Just a little bit. Like 1lb or 2 lbs.
It's easy to come to class, do the choreography and enjoy the flow. But, what happens when we dive a little deeper? Explore a little more? In this week's class I want us to think about the less obvious reasons for doing an exercise.
This week we will still get our move on but we will discuss the set up more in depth that usual. And, if you decide to hold it for the length of the exercise awesome or you can flow through until we set up the next one.
