I’ve sat down to write this post a dozen times today. To be honest, this Christmas hasn’t been the easiest one, and finding the right words felt like a mountain to climb.

But looking around at my family, I’m reminded that the best memories aren’t always the perfect, effortless ones—they’re the ones we build through the layers of life, both the hard and the beautiful. Today has been filled with so many special moments that I’ll hold onto forever.

To my family and friends, both those right here with me and those across the miles: I am so grateful for you. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a season filled with love, however it finds you.

🎉 12 Days of ARC Pilates! DAY 10: My True Love Gave to Me... Ten Santas Jumping for Joy! 🎉

It’s time for some high-energy holiday happiness! We are leaping into the weekend with the Jumpboard Series!

The Jumpboard gives you the cardiovascular benefit of jumping without the joint stress. Your job is to make a soft landing, controlled by your core. We’re aiming for Ten powerful, joyful leaps! Focus on the Toe-Ball-Heel landing sequence.

💡 Coach’s Tip: Leap with Control.

Use this time to expend your energy wisely and land softly when life gets hectic. Allow yourself moments of pure, joyful movement (or just a good belly laugh!), but always return to your core with controlled effort.

➡️ Action: If you could jump anywhere in the world right now, where would you leap to? Tell us! 👇

🎉 12 Days of ARC Pilates! DAY 6: My True Love Gave to Me... Six Side Kicks! 🎉

Today we shift from the front to the sides, building stability and strength in our hips with the Side Kick Series!

The aim is to strengthen the glutes (Gluteus Medius and Minimus) to stabilize your walk and prevent back pain. Focus on stacking your hips perfectly—imagine a cup of hot cocoa on your top hip! The movement comes from the hip socket, not the waist, ensuring your torso is stable.

💡 Coach’s Tip: Build Your Nest (Consistency).
Just like the six geese, focus on building a stable foundation. Consistency is key here! Even 10 minutes of Side Kick exercises daily is better than a huge effort once a week. Small, steady effort builds the resilience you need to support your whole body this holiday season.

➡️ Action: How many reps can you do before your hip starts to burn? Tell us your goal for today! 👇

✨ Day 3: My True Love Gave to Me... Teaser Three!

Santa 🧑‍🎄 has been spotted working on his Pilates as he prepares for his big trip.

After finding our rhythm and symmetry, today we take flight! We’re skipping the French Hens and going straight to the ultimate display of control: Teaser 3!

Teaser 3 is the movement where your arms and legs stay fixed in their Teaser shape, and the entire unit lifts and lowers three times. It requires total integration of the core, hips, and spine—showcasing true mastery over the movement.

💡 Coach’s Tip: The Power of Three. The Teaser 3 teaches us that the best results come from compound effort. Focus your energy on three key areas today—your Core, your Breath, and your Boundaries. If those three are solid, you can lift and stabilize anything the holiday throws at you.

➡️ Action: The Teaser is the pinnacle! What makes the Teaser feel easier for you? (Focus on your hips? Your breath? Your eye line?) Share your secret below! 👇
