SIDEBEND, THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH AND STRETCH

Online Mat Pilates Class Description:

Ok, so maybe ‘ultimate’ is a strong word but it’s up there. As we finish off our month of March Matness and conclude the tour of the original 34 in the OG style of Joe P., I think it’s worth really taking a good feel of the Side Bend. And, have no fear there will be options if the idea of standing on one arm and the side of your feet has you thinking of skipping this week.

See you on your mat,

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!

LOVE POTION NO. 9

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Some days, just thinking about getting your full workout in can seem overwhelming! Let’s do this 2-week focus on the Mat and the Reformer in 9 exercise clips. We’ll flow through 9 exercises, then focus on a deep stretch…then jump to the next 9 exercises, and so on. 

What a great way to reward our efforts and work on our flexibility! And if you’re short on time, your workout is already in bite-sized chunks. 

Jump in where you’d like!

See you in class,
Tami

COME AS YOU ARE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Come as you are. As a friend. As I want you to be.

It’s the first month of the year, which tends to put a lot of pressure on people to be a certain way or to start working on new goals, but not this week.

The teachers at OPC want you to come to our classes as you are, because we will meet you where you are. Show up for yourself this week, without an agenda or any goals in mind, and let us celebrate you for showing up and taking class. Simply come as you are.

Props needed:
Mat: barrel, blanket, or bolster
Reformer: small ball

See you in class,
Rachel

PLANK YOU VERY MUCH!

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

After the holidays we can be left feeling like it's been a while since we've moved our bodies. If it's cold where you are then your shoulders are even more forward. And, if the end of the year is at all stressful for you, then hello shoulders in your ears.

This month we are going to explore our "Achy Breaky Hearts." Focusing on extension, tall back, amazing posture and also if we can get our hearts open without over arching.

Mat - Bolster and light weights
Reformer - Theraband/Pole
Tower/Cadillac - no props
Wunda Chair - no props

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

HIP HIP HOORAY

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

We will turn on the heat in your Hips and Thass® this month! When your hip flexors and/or lower back are feeling tight from stress, overwork or sitting too much, these classes can help! Yes, tension in the hip area needs stretch, but tight often means weak - so we will build strength and awareness in your entire lower body.

Enjoy freed and happy hips on Reformer, Wunda Chair, Mat and Tower/Cadillac!

Props needed:
Mat - Magic Circle
Reformer - ball, box & pole
Tower/Cadillac: no props (if you don´t have a bottom hook for Standing Leg Springs you can use a Theraband)
Wunda Chair - Yoga block (not required)

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

PILATES IS MAGIC!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Its my bday week! I'm turning 42 and in my research to find a song or something epic around 42 I found quite a few things. In the intro's of class I explain some of them. But one I found was that Rainbows start at 42 degrees of the reflection. And something I love about Rainbows is they show us how possible it is to find the longest arc always. Rainbows don't sag anywhere.

Props needed:
Magic Circle: If you don’t own a Magic Circle, grab a ball or pillow. Or a resistance band that you can tie to make a circle!

See you in class,
Megan

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

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE EXHALE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

In Joseph Pilates book "Return to Life" he talks about the importance of our breath and how most of us do not exhale enough. In this week's class, we will focus on the exhale. Of course, you should still inhale!

You don't need anything extra. Just you and those lungs.

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

DEFYING GRAVITY

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Defying Gravity - kinda of how we do Pilates always! Our practice improves the more we understand that our entire body is working in every exercise. Nothing is over working or under working. In fact, the idea of using tensegrity in our workout can help us identify where we need to explore more strength and length.

This workout, inspired by Wicked and Cynthia Erivo is designed to help you see the power you have within you!

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, barrel, blanket, a broom stick/pole/yard stick and a mat!

PILATES IS MAGIC!

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Have you felt the magic of Pilates? Pilates feels so different when we are not only moving joints but finding connections, and it’s magic ✨. In this class we will use the Magic Circle to find those magical connections and then practice finding the connections without our prop.

Magic Circle: If you don’t own a Magic Circle, grab a ball or pillow. Or a resistance band that you can tie to make a circle!

See you in class,
Megan

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.
