OPC’s 2024 Summer Pilates Tour

Brad & Lesley Logan (LL) here.

What an epic summer tour – we’ve been sitting down to think through each and every day because they were all so jam-packed with amazing friends, studios, and experiences. And if you joined us, we wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the encouragement, enthusiasm, support, and excitement that you shared with us. Here’s our summer tour recap.

The OPC Pilates-Mobile

This year we were able to wrap our epic tour van, as you may be aware, with the help of Balanced Body, our primary tour sponsor. And their support allowed us to bring our traveling Pilates classes to more than 13 cities as we drove 5000 miles from Las Vegas to Denver to Chicago and back. We met almost 500 people along the way!

Sponsors, Giveaways, Our Fav Products

We had SO MANY other incredible companies join the tour as smaller sponsors, allowing us to have fun giveaways, sharing sample products and gifts with each of you. From socks to gluten-free, vegan beverages, we were excited to share so many products we use, support, and love.

The Dogs Love a Pilates Tour

All three dogs loved hanging out – sometimes even making their way into the studio to meet you in-person! Gaia (almost 14), Bayon, 7+, and August 4+, experienced everything from winds to gorgeous sunny days as they joined us.

Bringing the Pilates Community Together

Because of each and every one of YOU, we are planning to keep these tours going. Some of you drove 5-12 hours!! To say our hearts are full is an understatement. We met old friends and made new ones, bringing the Pilates community together all across the country. Feeling some FOMO? Get on the waitlist for our next tour here.

UP, UP, & AWAY

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

We are all going to feel like Super Humans after this month!!

Whenever I’m in a hard exercise (for me) where I’m holding myself up with my arms and reaching my legs away I picture myself with super human strength!!! I can do ANYTHING! It makes me smile and helps me stay STRONG.

This month our exercise is Up Stretch and when you think about it - reaching your legs away and staying strong over the carriage may feel a lot like flying!

We’ll be focusing on stabilizing our strong cores while staying equally balanced in our arms and legs. We are giving you some amazing building blocks by merging strength and stretch in all directions. You are going to get a little bit of everything that you can use to connect to your Up Stretch (and even your Roll Up and Knee Stretches Off).

Chair: Please have a foam roller and a balance pad available. We are going to challenge your balance safely.

GLOW WITH THE FLOW

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Get ready for rosy cheeks and a natural glow effect! This week we will flow through our Mat and Reformer order again. Less cuing, more connecting each exercise to the next to keep our center working. Grab your notebook and notice which exercises our body connects easily and which not so we can create future themes for you! 

Can´t wait,

Yasmin

Props: Mat: nothing
Reformer: Box, Pad, Pole

See you in class,

SIDE SITUATION

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Its easy to focus on the parts of exercises we can see. For example in Roll Up we can see our legs or the front of our center. But, the side body is key in all that we do! Its really what helps keep our upper half of our body from sinking on the lower half! So in this weeks classes we will be focusing on our side body and how that affects our rolling work too!

No Props Needed

BABY GOT BACK... BENDS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let’s focus on building the support for backbends. We’ll be opening the hips, strengthening the backside, and activating the front body to support a smooth, supported arch.
And if your spine isn’t into full backbends, don’t you worry! This class is still for you. You’ll improve posture, shoulder mobility, and create more space through the front body. It’s less about bending, more about balance and support.

Props needed : Rod

See you in class,

BREATHE IT IN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Back by popular demand entire workouts led by our breath. We'll use inhales and exhales to get the most out of our work. And, perhaps some exercises that have felt challenging will have a bit more flow!

NOT A SUMMER FLING

Let´s talk about your Squat!

Let’s create a little love affair with one of our Pilates Principles - Control. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has to use a little momentum every now and again, but there is a difference between controlled momentum and flinging ourselves around in space. Let’s focus on precise, deliberate movements, resisting the urge to fling our limbs around.

Props:

Mat = TBD
Reformer = Box, Pole, Pad (we use this for some footwork exercises)
Tower = Used foam roller or block under the head for side leg springs (always optional)
Chair = box, gondola pole, mat

See ya in class,

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, TOWER/CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

The STAR WARS Universe needs more than just a day of celebrating …May The Fourth! Let’s honor that mind-body-Jedi spirit, as well as the Power of 4, all month…May The Force Be With You! All of our 45 min classes will use 4 reps or a combination of 4 exercises to connect us to our strength.

On the reformer, we’ll use the Pilates pole as our own special light saber of focus! (Swiffer handles or yardsticks work well, too!

Props needed:
Mat: Pole
Reformer: Pilates Pole
Tower: none
Chair: none

See ya in class,

DOUBLE TAKE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

When Jay Grimes told me that there is only 1 Pilates exercise we do 500+ ways and its Double Leg Stretch or sometimes called Double Leg Pull it got me thinking about how I can find that in each exercise. Sometimes its obvious, sometimes its not. Maybe all we find is the arms or legs this week. 

We'll start class with a Thera band (old pair of leggings can work). Feel free to use it as often as you need! 

See ya in class,
xx-LL

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Theraband - leggings or stockings, pole - swiffer handle or stick

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

See you in class,
