#PracticeWhatYouTeach: Travel Pilates

Do you love to travel but maybe don’t love how you feel after you been on a airplane or in the car for hours! I’m a natural mover so when I’m confined to sit for much more than 15 minutes you’ll find me squirming in my seat doing anything I can to keep my body from getting tight and tense. As I was driving back from a quick road trip up to Center Point (half hour trip each way) I found myself bopping along to the music and rolling through my spine.  When I caught myself doing this, it reminded me of how great it is that I often times just automatically use movement to keep my body happy and healthy.  It also reminded me of how helpful some simple little movements can be when you are traveling to keep your muscles from getting tight and achy!!

I can tell you that I have found lots of little tricks and ways to move while traveling without drawing too much attention to myself!  I’m headed out to Phoenix, Arizona for the annual Pilates Method Alliance conference this week and will be traveling with my friend and social media rock star Becky from Farmgirl Marketing Solutions.

She knows me well enough to know that I don’t sit still well and I think she may be a little concerned about traveling with me!  I promised her we wouldn’t break into any traditional Pilates sequences on the plane or anything too crazy… but I will have to keep moving a little so I don’t get crabby!   Be sure to follow Rivercity Pilates and Farm Girl Marketing on your favorite social media sites to keep up with my favorite movement travel tips and of course highlights from the conference!!!
