I am so excited to lead a small group of adventurous women this fall on my first Hike & Pilates Retreat. This time away will be special. Enjoy fresh autumn air and endless epic views, plus nourishing movement to fill your wellness cup. 🤲🦋🌸⛰️

Where and When:
Revelstoke BC, Coast Hillcrest Hotel
September 18-21

Imagine yourself here. Surrounded by these beautiful mountains, wild flowers, and the peace and quiet that comes in pristine nature. Exploring the alpine trails, we will hike, breathe deeply, strengthen our bodies, and nourish our souls. Then, back to the hotel to stretch, spa, and rest deeply.

Book time for yourself this fall and let the mountains heal you. Enjoy a private room or bring a soul sister and share a large double queen room in a mountainview hotel.

Don't miss out! 2 spots remaining.

At the very ❤️ of Pilates is the Matwork

It's unbelievable to me that so few studios teach it anymore. When I became a Certified Pilates Teacher, a long time ago, Matwork was the first thing that needed to be learned and mastered before any of the fancy equipment.

That's because the Matwork is the Foundation to everything Pilates!

It's on the Mat that students really learn about their body, their breath, their posture, their core, plus their restrictions and how to tap into safe progress with mindful movement.

It's personal. It's intimate. It's just you and the mat. You will get stronger, more flexible, and more confident on the mat in 6 weeks than with Pilates equipment. Guaranteed.

But apparently, it's not sexy enough for the 30-somethings since none of them teach it!

And that is why I teach.

Because Pilates isn't about sexy outfits and sleek equipment. It's about moving better and building a deeper understanding of your body so you can reclaim a healthy spine, a stronger core, happy joints & better functioning body.

Pilates Mat isn't going anywhere so long as long experienced teachers like me in our 50s are still around. And I am here for that!

Back Pain and poor functioning hips go hand in hand. I help all of my students develop healthier hips that feel open, stable and strong. This is a big part of what we work on inside my Pilates for Back Pain virtual programs (PS next 4 week series starts Tuesday Feb. 4 - you should be there!

But don't just take my word for it....here's what one of my students wrote recently...

"After last Fridays class my hip flexors were tired and sore from some of the great hip openers we did. I went for a gentle walk, took an anti inflammatory and that night and the next morning I had much more movement and range in my hips!! You have always told me that I need to do more of the exercises that challenge my hips and of course being human I avoid them if it feels uncomfortable. So now I am trying to incorporate them in my morning stretching. ( #4 stretch, clam shells with the foot turned up, and then down, etc) Thank you for challenging me. It works!!! Lynda"

PS Lynda is in her 70's and has arthritis and scoliosis and comes to all my Zoom classes - she is an amazing woman and understands that movement is medicine.

Here is the next round of Beginner lessons starting next week! I hope to see you there!

Not all Pilates is equal. There's Bums in Seats Pilates, focused on numbers good for the studio, and then there's Client Centered Pilates focused on improving a students movement habits, postural awareness, 3D breathing & core stability to serve that specific person.

If you are not learning and practicing these principles and understanding how to make small daily changes to support your back and body, you are not being served.

My 1-1 students know what to do to relieve their back pain and how to do it safely because that is my job. 💕
