PILATES CADILLAC FLASHCARDS UPDATE

Hey OPC fam, Brad here with another update on the printing and shipping of our long-awaited Cadillac flashcards.

I’m excited to show you a sneak peek into the cards being printed! We’ve got some videos below that you can see them going through the printing machines.

I’m not as excited to share that we’re still about two weeks away from shipping, which is two weeks longer than we originally anticipated.

Why is it taking so long?

There are two factors, both of which have to do with creating the boxes. The cards themselves have already begun printing.

The first has to do with supply chain issues for the chip board used in making the boxes, although I’m happy to share that our printing partner now has all the materials needed to make those boxes.

We’re now in line to have these boxes made, which brings us to the second factor.

Our printer has a few crazy machines that handle the printing of the cards (which you’re seeing in these videos,) but they were reliant on another company to create the boxes.

In an effort to have more control of the entire process, our printing partner has purchased their own gazillion-dollar machine to give them the option to create the boxes themselves! This required them to move their entire operation twenty minutes down the road, and to assemble this new machine in their new location.

These two steps have taken a bit longer than anticipated.

The good news is that they started their first test run of creating their first box with this new machine yesterday, and now we’re (finally) in line to have the Cadillac boxes created.

However, as I said earlier, it’s going to take them approximately a week to print, fold, glue, and dry the boxes. After that they’ll need to put the cards inside and then shrinkwrap everything together before they can begin fulfilling your order.

A GIFT FROM US TO YOU

Lesley and I, along with the entire OPC team, are SUPER GRATEFUL for your continued support and anticipation around these cards, but we’re also just as frustrated as you that it’s taking longer to ship than expected. So… we’ve got something for you!

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,

xx~LL

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, light weights and a Mat!

REFORMER EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self and a Reformer!

GO WITH THE FLOW

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let's clean up our transitions!

Are you aware of your movement going from one exercise to the next in your practice? If yes – great! I will show you more options to flow through your workout. If the answer is no – even better! Let's bring more fluidity in your Mat and Reformer practice.

We will move smoothly through the order by focusing on transition exercises which keep us connected and concentrated.

Additional Push Ups, Teasers, and Tables will make our workout feel like dancing through the order or flow through a sun salutation.

See you in class,
Yasmin

HUGGING IT OUT

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Surprise! It has nothing to do with the Hug exercise on the Reformer. This class is all about hugging to the midline and staying connected to your center. Pay close attention to what's turning on and what's supporting you so you can apply it to future classes. Get ready, let's go hug it out!

Mat class: Magic Circle or a ball or a toy you can squeeze. Want an extra challenge? Grab a marble or quarter!
Reformer class: No props needed.

See ya in class,
xx~LL 💋

MEET ME AT THE BARRE

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

Have you ever done a Barre Workout? Yes, No, Maybe So?
While the moves may be a little different than what we’re used to, the spirit is pure Pilates!!

This month we’ll take the best of what Barre-work has to offer…think combinations of long and short movements, great breath focus, strength and flexibility training, or just adding a pole to our work..and we’ll apply these ideas to our 50 Minute Classes!

On the Mat, grab your Pilates pole or a Swiffer handle and a ball.
The Tower/Cadillac already comes with barres and poles, so let’s explore how to get the most out of this equipment!
On the Reformer: no added props
And the Wunda Chair: no added props

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

WILD SIDE

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

Pilates is one of the few movement practices that focuses on our side body! And, our side body is what keep us from falling! And, it's also integral to our posture. So, let's nerd out with our Wild Sides!

Let's have fun focusing on twisting, side bending and the spine shapes in between that help and our helped by our Wild Sides!

Mat class: Magic Circle
Reformer class: No props needed
Tower/Cadillac class: A reformer pole and the reformer box, but both are technically optional!
Wunda Chair class: Theraband or an old pair of leggings!

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

SECOND CHANCES!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

It's easy to default to saying "we have a weaker side" on our body. Instead, think about it as which side of your body needs a little more encouragement or coordination! This week we will focus on becoming aware of which side of your body in the asymmetrical exercises that we do is actually needed another moment - or second chance - at the exercise!

No props needed.

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

WE WILL ROCK YOU!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let’s get our Open Leg Rocker on!! This Pilates Mat classic works the abs, massages the spine, improves balance, and promotes flexibility. We’ll work on ways to grow into this exercise, or if you’re already a rocker, we’ll have some fun variations. We’ll use the Reformer to helps us find more length & strength…and sneak in some Open Leg Rocker there, too! We won’t need any props in either the Mat or Reformer, just bring your Rock-Star selves!

See you in class,
Tami

    (NOT) THE FALL SEASON

    Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

    As we all get older, your balance may be something you notice declines. I love working on balance because if you’re not present in the moment, or even thinking of something else, you can lose your balance. You can also lose your balance by favoring one side more than the other, whether it’s right/left sides in terms of limbs, or inner and outer edges of the foot that you’re standing on.

    Let's check in with our balance in this week's classes. In fact, we're going to bookend our classes - a balance check at the start of class, and at the end of class - to see how our practice affected our balance.

    No props for the mat or reformer.

    See you in class,
    Christine

    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.
