We all have different ways of learning, different body types, different experiences. Our new teachers will be able to meet more people where they are, and how they learn.
We are excited to add new teachers to OPC! Why?
We all have different ways of learning, different body types, different experiences. Our new teachers will be able to meet more people where they are, and how they learn.
We want more opportunities for the OPC community to connect and have cues click (not hips click)!
The special part is, our new OPC teachers are OPC members who already engage with the community!! They know our values and understand your needs.
Most fitness programs promise all the things, but actually deliver a whole lot less.

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,

I'm sure it's similar in the USA to Europe - Christmas is around the corner and it´s a busy time when we are trying to make the end of the year something special. Often there is little time to workout or we prefer relaxing movements. In this week's Mat & Reformer Class, we will celebrate and restore our bodies with some extra lift, breath and stretch while focusing on all rotation exercises.
Props Mat: Theraband
No props needed on Reformer (just Box, Pad)

Sometimes when an exercise is challenging, we get a sense of panic in our body, and we rush through it. In this work out, we’ll see how our side body can help us through challenging movement to calm us down and and help us lean into our strength. We’ll even find a few star shapes along the way.
Mat: Magic Circle
Reformer: Rod/ pole/ swifter handle

Do you know how to stop time... Do a timed Plank!! So this month we will not be stopping time, but we will go though all of the points you should think about when you are doing a plank. There are many planks throughout the Mat and Reformer work. Working on these areas from head to toe and making them all come together for each Plank! Arm/back connection, Thass® connection, and how do we stay out of those wrists? On each apparatus we will help you find these areas and strengthen your Plank each time!
Tower/Cadillac - no props
Wunda Chair - optional mat
Mat - light weights and a magic circle

What do Rolling Like A Ball, Tendon Stretch, Teaser, Up Stretch, Pull Up, Swan-Dive, Open Leg Rocker, Flying Eagle, Short Spine, Boomerang, and Snake have in common???
They all help us build strength and allow us to explore connections in our bodies to do Around the Clock and Rocking!!
Around the Clock helps to ignite a fire in our center and continues to warm us up as we rock and stretch, rock and stretch, rock and stretch until we’ve made a full circle (clock)…and back. It’s a fun and challenging exercise.
Rocking requires us to be warm, maybe even HOT, all the way through our bodies so we can create our best and biggest extension before we start to move (rock). It’s a very empowering exercise, but it is also quite challenging.
Your OPC teachers have ALL MONTH LONG to help you find strength, connections, and flexibility to see if you can improve throughout the month. Even if you’ve never tried these exercises, see what you can do at the beginning of the month, and then check in with yourself (and us) halfway through. There will be plenty for you to explore and try during each workout, but if you find yourself questioning anything, we’ll be here to help you out! Just send in a FFF
Let's rock, rock, rock...around that Christmas tree!
No props needed.
See ya in class,

We live in a world where there is a lot of sitting so it’s as if we’re closed off to the world around us. The head is forward, the shoulders round, the upper back collapses forward, the low back slumps back, and the front of our hips are in this folded position. I think we’re all familiar with this body shape.
I have practiced Pilates daily for so many years now that it’s hard to remember life before. But one of the reasons why I continue to do so is to reverse the daily effects of sitting. So for this week, we’re building up to the rocking exercise. We’ll work on opening up the front of the hips and shoulders. To do that we need to strengthen our thass connection, and our arm back connection. Good news is we have the entire order of the mat and reformer to help us prepare for rocking, and open us up!
Prop for mat and reformer is the Magic Circle. Or a yoga block or squishy ball to squeeze into, and theraband or leggings to press out.

I'll spare rapping for you, but that's what this is about! All about the single leg kick and double leg kick. These exercises are super important for us to slay the last half of our Mat practice. They are entirely back body, so on the Reformer, they'll really support your Swan and all your other extensions. And if you've been struggling connecting to your seat, this is where it all happens! Can you kick it?!

It’s a week filled with ROTATION, but I swear it’s not the scary EXORCIST kind of rotation!
We’ll be exploring where we can add rotation to throughout our practice and how we can find our TRUE rotation in different areas of the body. No cheating!
Join me this week as we focus on spinal rotation to help ourselves stretch and strengthen, while also exploring internal and external rotation at the shoulders and the hips.
If you are a tactile learner, or if you like to be a bit more reflective about your practice every now and then, you’ll love class this week. We’ll slightly slow down to give ourselves an opportunity to listen to our bodies and maybe fine tune a little bit as we go along.
Mat: Resistance Band and yoga block [barrel is optional for Roll Over]
Reformer: Pole, small ball, and yoga block

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.
