Practice What You Teach: Pilates Detective Work
#PracticeWhatYouTeach, Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates in Your LifeOne of the things I love most about teaching Pilates is the “figuring it out” part of the work. I’ve learned over the years that by using movement to create balance in your muscles and your body often times you can get rid of pesky aches and pains throughout your body and you can just […]
Pilates Inspiration of the Month – Lindsey Gorzelanny
Inspiration of the Month, Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates Student StoriesInspiration of the Month May 2016 Lindsey Gorzelanny When did you start Pilates and what inspired you to start? I started Pilates about 6 years ago when I was pregnant with our first child to counterbalance the additional weight, prepare for his birth, and stretch, strengthen, and tone my body. It changed my life. Since then, I have […]
Don’t wait until you’re out of pain to start Pilates….
Motivation and InspirationI can’t tell you how many times I have heard people say, “I really want to try Pilates or get back to it, but I’ve been dealing with this chronic low back pain (or insert any other pain…) that I want to go away first.” As a Pilates instructor I want to shake them and […]
Our Muscles Obey our Mind…
Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates in Your LifeI was teaching footwork to a client this morning on the reformer. I asked her to stop for a second and just pay attention to how her body and her backside felt on the reformer carriage. I then requested she put weight into her left hip, and left rib cage and just notice the balance […]
Pilates Around the Clock Exercise – the Commando Exercise!
Instructional Video, Mini Workout, Pilates in Your LifeTaken from an exercise instruction sheet that Joseph H. Pilates used to sell for $1.00 in 1943, here’s your instructions for Around the Clock from Joe himself: Are you game to try a Commando Exercise? It looks simple – but it’s rather straining until you have had lots of practice doing it. This exercise develops […]
Practice What You Teach: The Power of Words
#PracticeWhatYouTeach, Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates in Your Life, Rivercity Pilates InstructorsThis week I did a Tower Class workout on Pilates Anytime with Pilates instructor Benjamin Degenhardt(which was amazing!) During and after the class I was reflecting a little on how much harder I worked during my workout just because of the words and imagery Benjamin used. The exercises themselves weren’t anything new to me yet […]
Does this scare you?
Motivation and InspirationI opened up my Facebook to find this picture and I just had to laugh. I’m guessing if you have back pain and are lacking flexibility and strength in your body you are not going to look at this picture and say, “Wow I want to try wrapping myself up like a pretzel in those […]
Joy of Movement
Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates Student Stories, Teacher TrainingLike many of my male clients, Murray got talked in to Pilates by someone who loved him and knew that some mindful movement and breath done safely could help him feel better in his life. At 92 though, he definitely wasn’t my regular studio client and I’m sure that the little time we worked together […]
Practice What You Teach: Don’t take the rules too seriously..
#PracticeWhatYouTeach, Motivation and Inspiration, Pilates in Your LifeDo you ever wonder if your Pilates instructor just comes in and hangs from the Cadillac or maybe hangs over the high barrel to stretch their spine when no one else is around? We do!! It‘s the day before our Pilates Day celebration and I had an hour break before my last client of the […]
