The original mat order in Joseph Pilates book ‘Return to Life’ is a great one to memorize and enjoy no matter where you are.

​During this workshop you will learn exercises to connect to your butt (what I like to call your “Thass”), how to see if it’s working and how to use it in some of the most difficult exercises. We will explore on the Mat, Cadillac, Reformer and more.

It seems like every time you turn around there is a new study out there on how often you should be working out. I read one the other day that said just 10 minutes a day five days a week! Ok, here’s the thing, I’m not sure the exact amount of time you should be working out.

Whether you’re a Pilates enthusiast or teacher here is a list of what you can treat yourself to support and deepen your Pilates practice.

The Wunda Chair was one of the first pieces of home gym equipment. And, in times like these many of us are stuck at home or with a bit of extra time on our hands to move. So, Pilatinis®, let’s get a Wunda chair workout in together!

Aloha, we are on our Pilates retreat here in Maui and we are having the best time!

My “Reformer on the Mat” workshop is not just how to do the reformer exercises on the mat, but it’s also why you should do them. How you can feel things differently, how it will change your reformer practice and how it will spice up your mat.

I hope you join me,

This workshop is more than “beginner exercises.” In fact, we won’t spend a lot of time on the levels or order. So it doesn’t matter where you are in your Pilates or teaching practice. Or, even your Pilates background. Bring yourself, your notebook and your Cadillac questions!

We invite you to join a 90 minute round-robin teaching event and round-table discussion focused on pivotal physical and social change during our event, The Collective Movement Evolution.

Whether you’ve never done mat Pilates or you’ve been learning to teach it, this virtual workshop will cover all the basics you need to know to hit your Pilates mat-work with confidence.

Whether you are a Pilates pro or someone who wants to keep their height and ditch the back problems (hopefully before they start) these Spine Corrector exercises are for you.

I know that for many of us (depending on where you live in the world) this past weekend has signified “fall” and so while we may not be heading to the beach for some beach volleyball this week we are going to enjoy squeezing, rolling, holding and more with a ball. Whether you’re hitting the mat, reformer or both we’ll let the ball teach us where we let go of our midline, lean back too far in our flexion and how we can gather more strength.

If you don’t have a ball for most of the exercises a thick pillow, yoga block or magic circle (maybe have all on hand).

See you in class,

Hey there, you’re a Rock Star, let’s put some attention and focus on our open leg rocker this week. If you have some light weights, we will use them for a few exercises on the Mat. On the Reformer, we’ll enjoy how so much of our Reformer practice is helping your open leg rocker!

See you in class,
