Hello my Pilates lovers, I am excited to announce a few wonderful options for enjoying Pilates with me from wherever you are in the wonderful world. Basically, after almost ten years of teaching and hundreds of clients that I have met here in LA, while I was traveling or while they were visiting, many of you do not live in LaLa Land (Los Angeles). Since I have declined offers to clone myself I have created some options for everyone to enjoy a Pilates session or class with me from anywhere and for some of these options ANYTIME! Check out what we have and take the one that works best for you, your schedule and learning style.

Skype (yes Facetime works here as well): Take your phone, computer or iPad and set it up near your equipment or mat. Make sure your volume is up and lets’s do it! I’ll guide you through your workout, correcting with cues that are designed just for you and what your body needs. If you are inside a working studio, then grab some wireless headphones and there we go! Before we schedule, we will do a call to test and make sure you know where to put your camera and that you can hear. These sessions offer the upside of being accountable to your session and getting cues just for you and your body in real time. The only downside of these sessions is Time difference. But who is really going to let a little time difference get in the way of their Pilates session?

Pilates Anytime: YAAS! I am on this incredible platform. As of now, they have over 2800 classes all levels, time increments, and teaching styles. The talent and inspiration on this website are out of this world. I am beyond thrilled to share that I have two classes on here for you to take. My reformer class is about 40 ish minutes long (because 45min is the new hour) and while there are some advanced exercises in it skip what is not right for you and take the rest. My mat class is also 40 min and flows from start to finish allowing you to move along with us. You have to be a member to watch these and all the other classes they have so use LLOGAN for 30 days free!

YouTube: After years of hearing “how do my hands go” or “what should I be doing here” I started creating mini “how-to” videos. These do not necessarily create a workout, but they will improve your future workouts. If you cannot find a Pilates exercise you are looking for let me know! I’ll get to it in the next round of filming.

The next question is: How will you be enjoying your Pilates?

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,

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

CRISS CROSS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

There's some exercises that I still hear my teacher Jay's voice. One is Criss Cross. I used to (and I bet you do too) rush through it. Its the last exercise in the Series of 5 and by the time you get there you just want to get it done. BUT!!! then we'd be missing out on all the good stuff. Soo let's juice it out together. Why is it so important and what does it set us up for?

No props needed. But if curling up is hard grab a bolster

I LOVE ROCK-'N'-ROLL!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

One of the many draws of Pilates for me are the rocking and rolling exercises: rolling like a ball, open leg rocker, swan dive, boomerang, seal, crab, and rocking. That massage for your back while working your strong center. Genius! And when you're rocking and rolling on the front side of your body - the opening across the chest and shoulders is so nice!

Some of these exercises will have some variations that we’ll play with much like a rock band has a jam session to try, experiment, and see what comes out of it. At the very least, we’ll have a lot of fun, and smile while practicing together!

Prop for the Mat and Reformer: Magic Circle

See you in class,
Christine

OPPOSITES ATTRACT

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

In Pilates you’ll often find that exercises are grouped together or placed in a particular order so that we can move in opposite directions…and work opposing muscles. Think Roll Up & Roll Over on the Mat, the Rowing Series on the Reformer, Swan & Teaser on the Wunda Chair, or Push Through on the Cadillac/Tower. Let’s explore how those opposites help keep our muscles flexible while helping us get stronger.

Props needed:
Mat: dowel
Reformer: pole
Tower: None
Chair: Reformer Box (not absolutely necessary, can be done without), Mat, Wall for support and if applicable Yoga Block or 2 x 4 (for petite people and for building up some exercises

See ya in class,

BALANCING IT ALL

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

We are a little more than halfway through the year. It’s time to check in with yourself!

Pilates is all about uniform development; equalling out both sides of the body by building strength and creating flexibility. It’s why we love this practice so much!

It also helps us with stability and balance, physically and mentally, so let’s make this month about you! Focus on yourself all month long and check in with yourself, and your body, during each workout.

We’ll be giving you some great variations to help you explore the asymmetrical aspects of different exercises. And, of course, we’ll give you some tips on how to balance it all out!

Props needed:
Mat - dish towel
Reformer - 1 Arm Weight (1-2 pounds), Box, Non-slipping pad, Pole
Tower - no props - just the tower pieces
Chair - gondola pole, box and mat

See ya in class,
xx-LL

OPEN YOUR HEART

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Raise your hand if you also tend to push out your ribs, bring the shoulders down or go into an arched back instead of opening the chest from a strong middle. You're not alone! This week, we're focusing on a strong arm-back connection to open up our chest, shoulders and neck and to get true length in our spine.

See you in class,
Yasmin

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, Theraband (old leggings), Foam Roller (or Ball, Bolster, Small Barrel, Blanket), Wall or pillow, and a mat!

TO POINT OR TO FLEX

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

To Point or To Flex - That is the question! Recently on a call with some new OPC members, one person asked when should we point? When to flex? Does it make a difference?

And the truth is if you're new I'm super thrilled you showed up and you did what you could. If you flexed when you should point it's gonna be ok. However, yes there is a method behind the point and flex madness, and this week we are going to focus on our feet! When should we flex, when should we point and how much is too much?!?!

Whether you start on the Mat or the Reformer we'll start with a Thera-Band!

See ya in class,

BIG CIRCLES, LITTLE CIRCLES

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

There are quite a few circles within the exercises of Pilates. We will do most of them and then add some in where we can! Most of these circles are working from your center and also working the hips, glutes and inner thighs. The Magic Circle will also be added into the workout to add a bit of challenge. Lets have a little fun with some big circles and little circles!

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.
