There’s a lot of noise right now about what Pilates is and isn’t, but it’s important to know strength training and Pilates don’t have to be in opposition. It’s not Pilates versus strength training. It’s Pilates AND strength training. Both serve an important purpose.

CLASS BLOCK FLOW ~ I’ve been working with our amazing team of teachers on integrating flowing blocks in each orientation. Whereas in privates we teach more discrete exercises with a specific intent, addressing a need or goal of the individual, our groups tend to be about flowing movement.

Which exercises flow seamlessly together while staying in the same orientation?

Here I’m using the foam roller in lieu of the spine corrector for a hip opening series. From there we go right into footwork, then single leg footwork. You can even add roll-ups to switch springs easily so that you are continually moving for the full 55 minutes.

This is how I started yesterday’s class. More flow blocks coming soon.

Did you know that scheduling your fitness for same day/time each week leads to the most consistency? We all know the consistency is the only way to see real change in your body.

Schedule your classes.

Mind & Motion members are able to book recurring class times for the same day time each week for a 6 month period. I don’t know of another studio that does that.

If you’re too strapped to make it into the studio, schedule your online workout, just as you would an in person workout. We have 100+ workouts on our virtual studio. schedule your online workout in your calendar.

So really fitness is accessible to all.

Even though it feels like 2025 flew by, as I reflect back on the year I remember all we did as a community. In February, we wrote love notes to ourselves and mailed them in August. In March, we donated clothes and supplies to the Elizabeth House, a charity that helps women. In April, Mind & Motion was featured in the LA Times.   Our community expanded. We added Women’s Only classes for our religious community. The strength training class and sound baths became regular practices. We said farewell to beloved team members (Kaitlyn, Sienna and Amelia - we miss you and wish you well!). We’ve welcomed new teachers and cherished our time with Adrienne’s six month residency (visit us soon!).   Personally, I experienced big changes. Early in the year, my family moved to a new home. Henri’s basketball team won “All-Stars” minors for all of Los Angeles. They were honored at City Hall. In June, my beloved mom passed on.   It feels good to close the year on 2025. It’s a full life and all that happened reminds me that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.   With love and gratitude,   Meghan

Here is the rest of my pilate reformer class from last week’s post. You can see that there is a lot of contemporary exercises in here too. I do many more reps.

Typically my goal with classes is to get people in their body! There’s no better way to get present with yourself than “time under tension.” Oh trust, your body will speaking to you. Time under tension is what increases strength and endurance.

I don’t use music in my classes, my voice gives the timing and tempo of each exercise learned from my years as a modern dancer. Our teachers would give the rhythm of the movement to the live musician who would then put it to music. This was different every dance class. Quite special. In pilates, I use my voice to cue the specific timing of each exercise. I snap of course as well 😂

When class flows quickly from one exercise to the next with “breaks” continuing the movement in a stretch or flowing mermaid it feels really complete at the end. Then you go about your day feeling alive in your body.

Pilates is a name used by many :) What’s important is to find a home studio that helps you meet your needs and goals. If education, care and thoughtfulness are values to you, then this is what you should seek out in a studio. Comprehensively certified pilates professionals are educated on all of the pilates apparatus (not just the reformer) and typically hold a 500+ hour training.

If you’re young, have no pain, and have an already established fitness program, you can probably go most places. But the more vulnerable you feel, the more you will want detailed care that is appropriate for your body.

Start with your goals and from there find a studio that can help you carve out a plan to meet those goals. I recommend pilates classes / privates but also specific videos on our virtual studio and/ or other types of fitness.

If you’re in LA we have a one private + one class intro to get you started. 😘

PROGRESSIONS - Here is another progression of rolling side to side. Each progression includes more movement and requires more of the body.

1. Roll on the tail right and left. The legs are bit of a fan kick. Lean into your elbows for this first one.
2. Then include rolling back onto one side of the spine and up and then other. Switch the legs midair. Try this without your arms/ hands!
3. Finally, transition this roll into a standing position.

To roll from your back up to your feet takes flexibility and strength.

Maybe you look at these clips and say, “What’s this for?” Rolling on the floor is great for decreasing back aches. Rolling to stand means that you can propel your body in space, knowing how to use momentum to your advantage. Plus, this is a really fun way to get your workout in.
