ROLLIN’, ROLLIN’, ROLLIN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Rolling exercises look so easy – and then you do them! And, the trickiest part about them is how easy it is to do them wrong. Yep, you can roll and get back up and be cheating your whole way through.

In this weeks Mat class we’ll use the Magic circle to help us Roll like a pro. And on the Reformer we will focus on how practicing our Rolling exercises allows us to do things like Shortspine, Knee Stretches and even Corkscrew.

  1. Hi Lesley ~ Great reformer class! I have to say that I love semi-circle, I’ll give more feedback next time I do the class but I just wanted to let you know that semi-circle is so fun. It opens up my thoracic spine which is always a good thing!
    xx ~ Lori

    1. Lori, I will absolutely be trying to take your Semi-Circle love into my own Semi-Circle next time! Can’t wait to hear how you like it the second time around xx~LL

  2. Well, I certainly found my longest round shape……..abs on FIRE!!!! Also, did the crab for the first time for ages (this exercise freaks me out). Actually managed it pretty well so It must have been all that rolling building up to it. Side rolling……um, well, not a pretty sight this end but much fun and loved the mix of flexion and extension in between the side rolls. Thanks Lesley. x

    1. OMG, Nikki, my side rolling was not en pointe when I filmed this! Ha! I too need to practice this. It will come up again for us all. I am soo happy you found your longest round shape! It’s so hard! You’re amazing! Thanks for sharing this xx~LL

  3. I always seem to be two steps behind you. I know you have a lot to get through but if you could say the name of the exercise, reformer setup before you start doing all that, maybe I’ll be with you more. It might just be me! Thanks for all your good work. Enjoy the classes.

    1. Hey hey! Thank you so much for your feedback! I will try to say the name of the exercise we are going into sooner so you can plan ahead. We are also working on getting all the exercises listed with links for each class so you can see in advance what’s coming up. This way you can watch tutorials of anything beforehand. I’m thrilled to hear you are enjoying the classes. And I do hope these changes will be made starting with the July classes. xx~LL

SSSSNAKE & TWIST

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

On the reformer, there’s an exercise called Snake, and another exercise called Snake & Twist. We’ll build our connections throughout our practice to those 2 exercises. You’ll see how many exercises in your practice are already preparing you for those exercises, or maybe what’s missing that you need.

On the mat, we’ll build up to the Side Bend exercise, and add some variations that are like the Snake exercise on the reformer, or the Snake & Twist exercise on the reformer.

See you in class,
Christine

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, foam roller for one exercise variation, so if you don’t have a foam roller, no worries. Repeat the Side Bend exercise, or any variation, or any exercise we’ve already practiced and a mat!

REFORMER EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self and a reformer!

STRETCH THE BODY'S TENDON

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

An exercise many are ready for but gets a little scary to do is the Tendon Stretch on the Reformer. Mat lovers I got you!! Its your Open Leg Rocker, Double Straight leg stretch and something special I've got for you!!!

No matter which class you take we are going to explore how we stretch from our heels to the crown of our head, our body's tendon! We'll also cover where to look in exercises

No props needed.

See you in class,

IT FEELS GOOD

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

My teacher Jay will often say to me or others who study with him "I can feel how good that feels." Meaning, even though he's in a chair, on zoom and for the most part not doing some of the exercises we are doing anymore the way we are doing the exercises looks like it feels freaking awesome. And so this week I want us to focus less on perfection and more on are we enjoying our practice so much that someone else would want to join us. AKA its our q3 check in!

Grab your pen and paper so that after class you can write down what feels good. And what isn't (yet) and then share it with me in our group so we can be inspired to create classes to support your practice where it is.

Props needed on the Mat and Reformer are personal preference.

See ya in class,

BRIDGE OF LIGHT

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let's bring light into the darkness of the challenging Mat exercise "Shoulder Bridge", where the hands are on the hips and one leg is in the air.

The Shoulder Bridge Prep exercise with feet and hands down is one of my favorite exercises, especially when time is short, as it quickly connects you to your Thass and upper body stability as well as actively stretches the hip flexor. There is so much good in this exercise and now let's build up to the advanced version!

See you in class,
Yasmin

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, Magic Circle and a mat!

REFORMER EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, Small Magic Circle or Ball, Pole, Box, Non-slippery pad and a reformer!

SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST

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

In Pilates, we always focus on quality over quantity. That means paying attention to form, shape, control, and connection in every rep. It is not only about how we set up and start strong, it is also about how we finish.

This month, let’s bring awareness to finishing strong. Make your last rep just as strong as your first, maybe even saving the very best for last. Do not throw away those final moments of work. On equipment, the springs will tell you if you are in control. How quietly can you close them? When moving without springs, notice if there is a drop, plop, or lean. That feedback shows you how strong and connected you really are.

Start strong. Finish strong. You are strong.

Let’s save the best for last to wrap up 2025!

Props needed:
Mat: no props
Reformer: balance pad, pole, and squishy ball for some of the exercises
Tower/Cadillac: no props
Wunda Chair: for 1 exercise (or go closer to the wall): reformer long box or a physio ball

See ya in class,
xx-LL

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

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

Rolling Exercises are all over our Pilates practice! And from different positions! Sometimes we’re lying on our backs, standing or sitting. No matter what position we’re in, or what equipment we’re using, being able to roll through some or all of the spine helps us with flexibility, balance, and posture.

Props needed:
Mat: squishy ball or bolster and dowel
Reformer: pole, ball and grip pad
Tower: none
Chair: none

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,

GETT'N LONG

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

One thing that many of us forget is 1) our neck is part of our spine 2) extension is still about the length!

Whether you're tight and feel like you're not getting anywhere or you're hypermobile and you can put your head on your feet, this week's workout is for you!

We'll be focusing on the length on your extension! On the Mat we'll be working how LONG we can get and maybe that means we are LOW. On the Reformer our Pull Straps will help us figure out length and lift and we'll see how we can take that into other extension.

Light weights needed or grab can's of food or water bottles

Let's get long! (read it like you're lil john)

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.
