Neck Pull hEre

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

It’s been awhile since I have been able to see peoples’ eyes in real time roll out loud when I say Neck Pull! But, that doesn’t mean I believe for a second its had a sudden growth in team Neck Pull. It’s a tricky exercise. It takes the difficulty of the Roll Up and adds the weight of your arms and takes away the strength of your midline. But, it’s so good you def don’t want to be skipping it. So this week, on your Mat and Reformer we will thread this exercise through both workouts.

If you have a Magic Circle – or Theraband you can tie to be a circle – then def have it handy for the Mat. No extra props needed for the Reformer.

See ya in class,

ONE FOOT, TWO FOOT

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

We need to pay more attention to our feet... I know one more thing to add to the list. But! When we pay attention to our feet we get more access to our seat! So lets wake up our feet together and explore what new connections we get!

Props Needed: wash cloth and theraband or old leggings for warm up

See you in class,

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

LET IT GO, LET YOURSELF FLOW

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

We will be working through a flow without a lot of thought and correction. This is a way to evaluate where you are and what you can work on this year! Grab a notebook and if something is not feeling right, let's write it down and see if any of the upcoming classes will help us with that thing or thing(s).

No props needed.

WANNA BUTT LIFT?

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

This theme will be a focus on what’s needed for inversion exercises. For inversion exercises, your upper back is what you “stand on” so you need your chest and shoulders open with a strong arm/back connection there. Let’s not over-neck it! Then, you need a strong center and thass to work together to get your hips up. It’s not the hips that are over your neck. It’s the hips up so the legs go overhead.

This means even if inversion exercises are not part of your regular practice, that’s ok. Because guess what? It’s more accessible to find connections when you’re right side up, and then the challenge is to maintain those connections when you’re upside down. So, as long as you’re practicing all the connections when you’re right side up, you’re continuing to build yourself up to have enough strength to someday go upside down. And even if you never go upside down, then you’re building yourself up to hold yourself upright, and that’s what you need to live your best life!

See you in class,
Christine

LOW BACK CARE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

I'm really looking forward to workout with you this week because the topic was a request from some members!

Low Back discomfort is incredibly individual, but from my experience it often links to imbalances in the body. In this session we will let the Thass® work, we will mobilize and strenghten the upper back and stabilize the pelvis instead of overusing the low back. Let's move mindfully and find a balanced, comfortable place in our bodies
together.

Props Needed:
Mat: Foam Roller or Small Barrel, Booty Band or Theraband, Magic Circle (each just for one exercise in the beginning)
Reformer: Box, Non-slippery Pad, Pole, Magic Circle (2 exercises, can be done without), Yoga Block or Moon Box or firm pillow (just for 1 exercise, can be done without)

See you in class,
Yasmin

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

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

In this month's class, we're focusing on changing our perspective when it comes to the exercises we love to hate on. We'll tackle these exercises by strategically combining them with other exercises. By pairing them we hope you’ll discover new ways to connect with the intention behind the movements. Who knows, you might even learn to love them!

Props needed:
Mat: Magic Circle
Reformer: Magic Circle and small ball
Tower/Cadillac: no props
Wunda Chair: no rops

See ya in class,

WE GO TOGETHER

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

"We go together like Ramma-lamma-lamma-ka-dingity-da-dinga-dong".

We all know our Hundred helps all the other exercises. But did you know that on the mat the Spine Stretch Forward exercise also goes together with Open Leg Rocker? Or that Teaser on the Cadillac/Tower helps all the other Teasers on the mat, reformer, and Wunda Chair? And strengthening goes with stretching actions!

This month - let's review some exercises that may already be in your practice that you may not know how it can help your challenging exercises, or maybe even advanced exercises. Never overestimate the fundamental or foundational exercises because it’s all connected.

Hopefully, by the time the month ends, you'll see exercises on various apparatuses that will definitely help your mat practice, as well as other exercises on other apparatuses. With all equipment membership, definitely check out all the monthly classes, and see what progresses or improves over the course of the month. And celebrate your wins! And if anything feels stagnant, let us know in the community app, so we can help and support!

Most importantly, have fun as “we go together” all month long! Bonus points if you sing along with us!

Props needed:
Mat: Dowel
Reformer: none
Tower: none
Chair: Theraband

See ya in class,
xx-LL

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.
