2 reformers and private sessions - Win-win!
For people with bad knees getting down to the mat and back up can be a challenge - and not in a good way. I set up one reformer for carriage movement and set the other up with the bed for seated “mat work”. We can do seated arm and abdominal work with the springs or roll down bar, as well as side lying leg work and legs in straps at the tower. We can do any mat work within their needs! This helps those don’t do the up/down/up so well and those whose knees don’t do standing work so well. We got you!

Painting is about finished. I’ll be painting the front door turquoise, of course!

Currently snuggled into a corner of ARTini’s, behind lovely white drapes. We usually work out with only the natural light and to chill music or even none at all. Our permanent home in Bottleworks is currently being painted. I am so excited for the move near the end of the month and get my nesting on. It’s going to feel so good - physically, mentally, and emotionally! 🥰🩵

We’re on our way to our own space! You can still currently book your privates & duets and get your necessary dose of Pilates with me in my dedicated corner of my ARTini’s studio, but it’s exciting to know what’s coming! 3 reformers with towers, chair, mat, and eventually springboards. A space with bright natural light, neutral tones, up lights, fans, plants…just an overall soothing space to both find your workout zen *and* feel the burn!

Love this, learn this!

“Lift your leg from your abs!”

A classic cue that can be found in Pilates classes... let’s unpack it.

Anatomically speaking, your abdominals don’t lift your leg.

What they do is provide dynamic stability to your pelvis and spine as the leg moves.
⠀
The actual leg-lifter?

➡️ The hip flexors which also includes the iliopsoas (a deep hip flexor which passes through the abdomen).

Cues like “lift from your abs” can be helpful as a feeling, but let’s not confuse sensation with function.
⠀
If that cue works for you or your clients, keep it!

Just know it’s more about stability than initiation.
⠀
💡The more we understand movement, the more empowering and effective our practice becomes.
⠀
Movement is medicine
