I Love Rock and Row!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Open Leg Rocker and Rowing are some favs amongst OPC members. Sorry not sorry if they are not a fav of yours, haha (join the FB group and share your favs to inspire future classes). I thought it would be fun to explore how these two exercises fuel each other.

On the Mat please have a set of 1 or 2 lb. weights nearby or bring an awesome imagination. For the Reformer, make sure you review the Open Leg Rocker on the Mat before hitting play on this weeks class. You’ll want to have it in your Pilates mind’s eye.

See ya in class!

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!

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

GET'N SORT OF LOW

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

What to do when you can't get on your knees? In this workout we'll avoid kneeling exercises but still get what their goodness intended. When I was in my 4th or 5th year teaching I had a client who spent years as a giraffe in the Lion King Musical. Yep! Pretty cool! And one of her knees could not touch any surface. But, she wanted to do the kneeling work. So we got creative. This week we'll explore what to do when you can't get down on your knees but you still want to move

See ya in class,

TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

There’s nothing “little” about the exercise Star, am I right? LOL!!

If you hate doing Star, never wanted to try Star, or have no idea what Star is - this week’s workouts are for YOU!!

If you love Star - I’d love to know why, but also - these workouts are for YOU!!

There aren’t many exercises in the Pilates method where the side body is the main attraction. I find this very 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 - each of these need to call on our side body muscles to help us do the exercises.

Let’s focus on side body work all week to help us prepare for Star (or any kind of side plank you’d like to try)! And maybe, just maybe, we forget about the stigma STAR may or may not have? :)

Props: Theraband, Barrel

See you in class,
Rachel

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.

Props needed:
Mat: Theraband (old leggings), Foam Roller (or Ball, Bolster, Small Barrel, Blanket,...), Wall
Reformer: Pole, Non-slippy-pad, Box

See you in class,
Yasmin

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.
