Christine Kam-Lynch, Pilates Bound

Christine’s adventure with Pilates began at her junior high school’s gym class. Different sports and movement activities were introduced and rotated throughout the school year. Kinda like OPC themes. How cool is that? She dabbled with practicing Pilates on and off until 2006 when she got seriously hooked at a free mat class at a local health and wellness pharmacy. So much so that she stepped into a studio to try out the different apparatuses. Hmmm, is it a studio, or is it a playground? So much to play with, so much fun, and the feedback you get – there’s nothing like it! She walked into her Pilates sessions with so much weighing on her mind and body, and always left stronger, taller, lighter. Talk about a full mind and body workout.

As a 3rd generation Pilates Teacher, Christine’s cues are simple and straight-forward so you know what muscle engagements we’re after. The more she shares from her self-practice, the more we’ll all shine together. Christine recalls a moment during one of her sessions, and feeling like a lit up Christmas tree on the inside – like the internal connections of her body was a string of lights, and ya know how you plug in a string of lights, and it all turns on together? Everything connects at once! That’s what she wants for you. You go from thinking about what you have to do to your body knowing what to do.

Just like practicing Pilates is Christine’s “and” with other movement activities, teaching Pilates is her “and” with her career as a full-time Technology Program Manager, leading teams in the US and India. She is a former perfectionist, a current dog mom, an all-around FUN-sized firecracker with a big smile, a large personality and a LOL laugh.

Be prepared to work, play, and laugh hard in her classes. Laughing works the abdominal muscles too!

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.

BALLIN'

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Feel like a baller in 30 minutes flat with the Reformer and Mat this week.

This week we’re using a small ball to level up your Pilates connections and add just the right amount of spice to familiar moves. Expect fresh variations, midline-igniting challenges, and that “ohhh, there it is” feeling. Perfect for all levels with options to progress.

Props Needed : small ball, sitting box

See you in class,

POLE POSITION

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

In these classes on the Mat and Reformer, we’ll use a pole to make connections in the body easier to feel and understand. We’ll explore how your hands, arms, and back work together — and how wrist alignment plays a big role in creating this essential Arm-Back-connection.

The pole acts as a helpful tool, giving you direct feedback if you are working from your center and where you can soften.

Let´s move playful and get a supportive workout with the help of a simple pole that everyone has at home or can get cheaply at a hardware store.

Props Mat: Pole (1 yard length) or broomstick
Reformer: Pole, Box

BABY GOT BACK... BENDS

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Let’s focus on building the support for backbends. We’ll be opening the hips, strengthening the backside, and activating the front body to support a smooth, supported arch.
And if your spine isn’t into full backbends, don’t you worry! This class is still for you. You’ll improve posture, shoulder mobility, and create more space through the front body. It’s less about bending, more about balance and support.

Props needed : Rod

BREATHE IT IN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Back by popular demand entire workouts led by our breath. We'll use inhales and exhales to get the most out of our work. And, perhaps some exercises that have felt challenging will have a bit more flow! 

Props: pole - swiffer handle or stick

SIDE SITUATION

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Its easy to focus on the parts of exercises we can see. For example in Roll Up we can see our legs or the front of our center. But, the side body is key in all that we do! Its really what helps keep our upper half of our body from sinking on the lower half! So in this weeks classes we will be focusing on our side body and how that affects our rolling work too!

GET GET DOWN

Let´s talk about your Squat!

Do we really have squats in Pilates? Oh yes, we do - on the Mat in the beginning to get down, we have a challenging one on the Reformer, Squats on Tower/Cadillac and smart, supportive exercises on the Wunda Chair to really help built up the strength. 

But the big question is: Are you actually using your THASS and Center to get low - or are your quads and lower back doing all the work while the rest just watches? This month, we’ll play, explore and refine this functional movement. So let's get curious and 'get get down' strong!

Props:

Mat = TBD
Reformer = box
Tower = Magic Circle, Reformer Box (low stool is fine too) - just for a few exercises, can be done without
Chair = optional mat, and option pole

See ya in class,

The STAR WARS Universe needs more than just a day of celebrating …May The Fourth! Let’s honor that mind-body-Jedi spirit, as well as the Power of 4, all month…May The Force Be With You! All of our 45 min classes will use 4 reps or a combination of 4 exercises to connect us to our strength.

On the reformer, we’ll use the Pilates pole as our own special light saber of focus! (Swiffer handles or yardsticks work well, too!

Props needed:
Mat: Pole
Reformer: Pilates Pole
Tower: none
Chair: none

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,
