EFFORT LESS, LAUGH OR BREATHE MORE!

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

Tone is “Have you ever noticed that as you go through your life, the things you’re efforting so much on never seem to go the way you planned? The Wunda will tell you when you’re not in the flow. You can’t just exert your will over it, or it talks back.” Definitely got some clunks and jangles in there! Also giving yourself permission to not do something perfectly, is sometimes just what we need. Did some breathing variations…Fear is excitement without breath, and sometimes we’re so afraid of not doing something perfectly, we forgot to breathe.

So maybe…

Sometimes we want everything in our lives to go just perfectly! We have an image or an idea in our heads and we make such huge efforts for everything to turn out just so.

Well, all that efforting is stressful and we practically strangle the very thing we’re trying to create!

Pilates is quite the same thing, right? We can put so much effort into trying to do every exercise so perfectly that we completely miss the flow we’re going for! The best we can strive for in our Pilates practice to NOT feel like we’re striving at all! And the more we connect to our breathing, on any apparatus, the closer we get to our own personal flow.

So You Made a Mistake. Every single piece of Pilates equipment will clank, thunk, or jangle to let you know. Fine, let ‘em! Maybe you’ll wobble, maybe you won’t even be able to move out of a holding position. Stop Laugh Breathe Try Again. Effort Less, Laugh or Breathe More…Trust me, it will come eventually.

How’s that?

See you in class,

Tami & xx-LL 💋
