Hello, good morning! It is day 3 here on our retreat in Maui and I can’t believe it’s going by so fast – it’s so beautiful.

We’re just about to start class. We’re doing a whole thing with the footwork in the beginning and stretching the hamstrings and really getting into our seat and our stomach because a lot of us hiked yesterday.

I hope you enjoy it and I will see you next time!

This workshop is more than “beginner exercises.” In fact, we won’t spend a lot 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 Reformer questions!

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.

​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.

Hi, this is Arlene. Welcome to my studio Bodywork & Pilates on our Pilates Retreat Maui!

This is day two of our retreat and we just had an amazing day of a morning mat class, hiking, an extraordinary brunch and now we’re about to get started with our evening mat class.

So glad you can join us!

In this Mastering the Basics on the Props & Other Apparatus one-hour workshop LL will cover fun facts and wonderful reasons to have and use props and apparatus that Joseph Pilates created! We’ll be chatting about the benefits and uses of the Toe Corrector, Foot Corrector, Magic Circle, Sand Bag, Ped-o-Pull, 2×4, Neck Stretcher, Airplane Board… just to name a few!

Join LL for a 50 min Reformer workout and 30 min Pilatini® hangout where the live attendees chatted in a Pilates loving community, asking questions and sharing discoveries.

Dust off your Spine Corrects or Arc’s and join me for a 50 min workout that will take you all over your barrel. Not only will we explore all the good stuff the Spine Corrector provides, I’ve also designed a workout that will help you feel some of the most challenging Pilates exercises and fundamentals in a whole new way! If you have a set of 1 or 2lb weights bring those too. If you don’t water bottles or canned food will work too!

This is a progressions workshop focusing on Swan, Snake and Star. You do not need to have access to an entire studio, I will mostly use Mat and Reformer. However, I will also show you how you can use the Ladder Barrel, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector and more to get you into each of these “advanced” exercises.

This workshop is more than “beginner exercises.” In fact, we won’t spend a lot 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 Barrels questions!

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, welcome to the last full day of our retreat. This morning’s class is going to focus on the crab. Because you can crab sooner than you think! So all of the class is going to lead us up to get into that exercise.

I hope you enjoy it!

Aloha, Arlene here! This is my studio Bodywork & Pilates in Maui, Hawaii. We’re to have an amazing mat class so I’m glad you can join us!

I’m going to go over getting more length in your spine and pulling in your abs. I’m going to be throwing in some extra teasers in there.

Hi, Aloha, this is Arlene Salomon and this is my studio Bodywork & Pilates in Maui, Hawaii. I’m about to teach a Teaser Workshop and I’m so excited because we’re going to be using most of the apparatus in the studio to help us to find our center, our two-way stretch and our posterior muscle chain.

I’ll also be covering exercises you can do that lead up to the Teaser.

Thanks for joining!
