Studio 4 Pilates

Suspension was the Walk-i-lates class theme this week. With the beautiful cloud cover and the hawks so close it was a perfect natural inspiration and pairing for the topic! Walking light and strong.
For the next month proceeds from this class will benefit the winter gift card drive. Pretty simple - sign up for class and you have a fun and educational class and you give to a local family. I’m our neighborhood for our neighbors.

About the views this morning- they were magnetic! And we worked on our magnets 🧲 too! What’s a magnet? Well I could write a long post explaining the lingo and and the benefits to your knees and overall leg strength. Truly though, you should just come to class and experience it. Way more fun that way than intellectualizing it on social media.
See you in class next week!

“These exercises will reflect a grace and balance in your routine activities” -Joseph Pilates, “Return to Life”.
We meet every week in the studio or here on the Coastal Trail to practice the exercises correctly. To play and make mistakes so we re-pattern the body with balance and a new lightness. The result is grace, strength and balance in the everyday.
Walk-i-lates every Friday at 7:30 am

We flash mobbed at Walk-i-lates yesterday morning while we worked balance on the fun unstable surface of the beach! Then we took it to having strength walking up and down the stairs. All while soaking up this amazing Coastal vibe and scenery.
Thank you for the action shot of me teaching! This unique blend of HMB outside and Pilates is my happy place and I appreciate having the memory here 😊

An amazing morning of Walk-i-lates with actual dew in our faces, clean air and a whole lotta me talking about foot centers. This is the real weekend cocktail the crew will be bragging about all weekend!

Shoulder openers and back strengthener moves to start the day - yes please! Class always includes multiple elements in the Pilates equipment and movements. This red braided towel was developed by Ron Fletcher. It only weighs a small bit but gives the most amazing arm workout!

The oh so good feeling that our equipment has been serviced, checked for safety and upgraded where needed! Thank you to the Lyndsie and Ben team for your attention to detail, always great conversation about everything from springs to the benefits of holding tabletop 😉 and explaining important things to me to continue to take good care of our equipment! Thank you!

Pilates is a gift that keeps giving. As you master one thing you are able to find a progression to challenge yourself further. As you figure one thing out you’re able to go back to the basics and see and work it with a new eye.
Side pikes for the win this evening in advanced equipment!

Walk-i-lates on our amazing Coastline with low winds, slight overcast and a series of hip openers today. Lovely! If you look closely in the back you’ll also see a fun community collision. This is when you run into a friend you haven’t seen in a bit. It happens at the studio all the time and I love when we experience it outside on the trail too! Pilates opened some hips today and old connections!

Sign up for classes online. Fridays 7:30 for Walk-i-lates.

New straps are going in on a classic Ron Fletcher reformer tomorrow. I’m using a technique taught me to begin the softening process for the leather. It will be a while before it’s super soft but let’s get you into class to work it!

No ladder barrel? No problem! We rocked dynamic alignment of our hips today in Walk-I-lates. Which in regular speak means we didn’t let the tail wag the dog! Aligning your hips helps with balance and reinforces strength in the right places to limit pain and injury later. A lot of fun patterns were worked today from grapevine to figure 8’s. This bench was used to do ballet stretches we often use a ladder barrel in the studio for. Great substitute for it when we’re outside!
Join us every Friday 7:30 AM.

C.O.O.R.D.I.N.A.T.I.O.N. Whoop whoop 🙌 to this crew in Walk-i-lates today for amazing coordination skills! Walking and moving your arms with precision is both fun and useful to increase balance. We did this forwards and backwards. With one leg at a time and one arm at a time. This can be done at 7:30 am. That’s the power of learning Pilates.

It’s hot on the coast and this crew was on fire with their hips today during walk-i-lates!! I once had a client tell me he had never heard someone talk about the pelvis. You should know how your pelvis works. It’s kind of like the control center for your balance. Today we worked some fun patterns to work every angle of the hips in a complete standing series.

For the geeks we rocked hip stretches, Egyptian at the “barre”, degages and lunges with a focus on dynamic bolt organization and then moved into some fun spiral work with 180 hip turns and into the full Graham Turn pattern with the towel. Yasssssss!!!!
