Shave is an integral exercise for so much of what we do in our Pilates practice! On the Reformer and Mat we’ll explore all the ways you can shave.
This week on the Mat we’ll play with the thera-band and weights and how holding them affects our arm-to-back-to-center connection – focusing on our wrists. And, on the Reformer we have lots to talk about!
Hey hey, here are my favorite go-to exercises using a wall! I would love for you to practice them with me while I explain how. When you’re watching they will look simple and easy but as you do them you’re going to feel a lot of strength and connection. And, when it’s over you should feel taller, stronger and more able to take on the day!
Try these exercises in the morning to set up for the day, at the office to get out of your chair and have a moment for yourself. Bonus points if you do it before you go to bed. Or, do all three! It should take only a few minutes.
I can’t wait to hear how these help you take time for yourself and feel better doing it!

Sooo... one of the things I see as I travel around teaching people, is how much they are not using their down reach in their down stretch. In fact, they’re doing an incredible job working their shoulders and many are good at not hanging in their lower back. But, there’s soo much good stuff in the down stretch. So, whether you’re on the Mat or joining us on the Reformer too get ready to get down in your down stretch!
Working out at home or your office is super convenient! Many people think they need a “home gym” to be…
