I’m going to toot my own horn today. I have the best Pilates Retreat planned for you! My next Pilates Retreat abroad is February 18th-23rd in Siem Reap, Cambodia. I know that sounds far off and away. But, its time you planned yourself a Pilates holiday.

Now, before you think this retreat may not be for you. Today we are going to talk about how this upcoming retreat is the best Pilates holiday for singles and for couples.

Best Pilates Retreat for Singles

As a girl who traveled alone to Brazil and Canada when I was single, I believe every person should take a trip somewhere alone. Safety is always key and that’s why a Pilates retreat abroad is a great choice. You have the comfort of a group but you still get to experience traveling far off and away. You’ll have that alone time that we all really need in life, to unplug and go on airplane mode. Traveling alone allows us to immerse in a different culture and just have time to get to know ourselves outside of our normal routine.

But, you also get the best of both world because of the group touring and Pilates! Just when you’re ready for some conversation, connection and laughter here come the touring and Pilates classes. They provide a lovely schedule for a day of ease and wonder.

Every meal is like a family dinner but with a Retreat family! The conversations are interesting and fun. People from all age ranges and walks of life have one big thing in common for the week. They are on this adventure together. Creating lasting memories.

My single travelers from previous retreats still talk to their fellow retreaters. Catching up and also reminiscing. So, enjoy a trip and make friends while doing it. Bonus, it’s an affordable Pilates retreat!

Best Pilates Retreat for Couples

It’s not always easy to find a retreat that both partners want to attend. One person in the partnership loves Yoga or Pilates and the other would prefer to run, bike or lift. But, on my next Pilates retreat abroad we have secured spots (and special rates) for the partner who wants to enjoy the group touring and meals but skip the Pilates! Imagine, enjoying the magic of Angkor Wat and the many other Temples, getting your Pilates on and your significant other is having fun doing what they enjoy too!

Traveling as a couple is a fun way to get out of your normal routine, to unplug and disconnect from the pressures at home. To go into another culture, experience delicious food and unique ways of doing things. And the best part of my next retreat is that it is affordable for both those doing the full retreat or doing just half.

Best Pilates Retreat for You

Whether you are single, traveling with a friend or partner our next Pilates Retreat to Siem Reap, Cambodia has everything taken care of for you. Once you book your flights we will arrange for your pick up at the airport (and drop off). Three meals a day are all set up and we have secured the best (seriously she is amazing) Tour Guide. All you’ll need is a little extra spending cash for tasting food carts, gifts and if you want to go off to the silk market or more Temples.

You know you’ve wanted to go to see Angkor Wat and the other Temples of Siem Reap, Cambodia. But, it can seem like it’s just too much to plan. I mean it is halfway around the planet. But, we’ve been so many times and have all the tips, tricks and curated the way to see the Temples. All you need to do is show up!

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,

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.

THE CALM BETWEEN THE STORMS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

What Storms you ask? Well, Thanksgiving (USA) just happened and we’re kicking off the big Holiday Season right away. Let’s use this week’s Mat & Reformer classes to connect to our breath, center from the powerhouse, and find a little calm.

On the Reformer, we’ll be working to make Running more than that exercise you do to stretch your calves. And on the Mat well alter some of our traditional breathing patterns for a calming challenge!

You won’t need any special props, just your fabulous, Deep-Breathing selves!

See you in class,

THE BOSS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

In the states its the week of Thanksgiving which means a lot of things to do and little time for you. And whether you live in the states or not I wanted to give everyone an excuse to leave any room so they can "meet with the boss" aka take class!

And you are the boss! The meeting is with you, your practice and OPC! Tell people The Boss called. They'll let you go and they'll totally understand that 30 min is a legit time to talk to The Boss.

The prop needed on the Mat: Pillows or a bolster or ball. I'm thinking about things you might have in any bedroom to take a call.

Reformer: if you happen to have access to a Reformer this week YAY! The Reformer is going to be the boss. The sounds it makes, the way it feels, its got feedback for ya!

See ya in class,

TINSEL AND TEASERS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

This week we’ll focus on Teaser because we can! It’s hard! And when in need a pretty great party trick.

The end of the year brings lots of parties you want to go to, some you have to go to and some you wish you could get out of.

Let this workout be and excuse for not going to a party or as a prep for the party trick you might just need!

Props: On the Mat and Reformer a theraband for your Tinsel!

SLEIGH THE DAY

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Sleigh or Slay? This time of year we say both!

Reflecting on the year and recognizing all of the work we put into our practice hopefully feels like we slayed the year!! Now we are getting ready for the holidays and heading into a new year so we can sleigh and get it done!

This week I want you to feel like you can do your very best with each exercise! Meet your body where it is, have fun and dont judge how it goes! There are always those exercises you aren’t sure about, but today you just have to go into it saying, I WILL SLEIGH this one! Lets do this!!

No props needed for these classes!

See you in class,

HORSES HORSES HORSES

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

If you are a lover of the Reformer chances are you have little love for the Horseback. I don't blame you. It's not that fun. If you're on the Mat you probably have no idea what this means…

And that's ok! Horseback is like a seated Teaser but harder!

On both the Mat and Reformer we will be playing with how to connect to this exercise, prepare for it and find a Horse that works for us!

Props: Mat, have light weights nearby

JINGLE BELL ROCK

Online Mat, Reformer, Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

There are some Rocking Moves in Pilates! This whole month we’ll be getting our Jingle On as we use each piece of equipment to prepare for and expand on those rolling & rocking postures. Bring that holiday spirit, let's rock!

Mat - no props needed
Reformer - Reformer Box and Pole
Cadillac - no props needed
Chair - no props needed

Super STAR

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

Did you know that a Superstar has definitions surrounding it that call out words like “prime attraction”, “prominent”, and “public appeal”?

I’m laughing as I write this description because this month’s theme is about the exercise STAR and I think these words are usually disassociated with that exercise! LOL!!!

If you hate doing Star, never wanted to try Star, or have no idea what Star is - these workouts are for YOU!!
If you love Star - I’d love to know why, but also - these workouts are for YOU!!

Throughout the Pilates method there aren’t many exercises where the side body is the main attraction, which is interesting because we need to use our side body to do some of the first exercises we learn. Rolling exercises, Roll Up, and Push Up/Planking - all need to call on your side body muscles to help you do the exercises.

Our focus this month is side body work to help you not only be a SuperSTAR and try STAR, but to help you connect to these muscles to do all the other exercises.

Let’s have FUN this month and forget about the stigma STAR may or may not have :)

Equipment needed:

Reformer = the box

Cadillac = no props needed!

Chair = no props needed, but you might want a yoga block to prop up your pedal

Mat = no props needed!

See ya in class,
