Which one, Pilates lovers? (I’m back on my BS.)

12/04/2025

I like to do this little exercise when I’ve been hunching over my computer too long, and start to feel tight and tense.

The imagery I learned from Eric Franklin a long time ago (2015) when I did my level 1 teacher training. I thought it was so funny it stuck with me. Imagery is funny like that. It leaves an impression. The same image will have a completely different outcome on different people. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love imagery. I guess it’s the communications person in me. I really enjoy finding ways to “reach” people. The words mean nothing if they don’t get the response you’re looking for. And words mean different things are different people. To me, it’s a fun little game.

Anyway, nothing too groundbreaking. But I was doing this in my studio and thought to myself, “maybe someone else would benefit as well!” So there you go. 🫶🏼 Just a little something to help your body move the way nature intended!

Anyway, give it a try, and let me know how it goes.

Any guesses? 😆🤭

Mastering the foundational exercises IS an advanced way of practicing Pilates.

Pilates is all about connections and these connections take time to establish.

Unfortunately, we are typically rushed through our Pilates teacher training programs, and we do not have the time to truly hone these skills.

Go back.

And by the way, that doesn’t mean that it’s “easy.” In reality, it can be way harder.

This is also why it’s so important to practice Pilates as a system. The exercises all build off one another. It’s all connected.

It’s not just “knowing” these things. It’s “living” them. That’s what Pilates does.

If you take the time with the foundational exercises and navigate the system thoughtfully, it’s all there.

Don’t overcomplicate it. It’s so simple, and it works. But it does take time. So give yourself some grace. There’s no shame in take a step back.

That studio or gym or walking path you drive by every day…

Stop in. Give em a call. Put on your shoes. Take the first step.

Maybe it’s a YouTuber whose workout you’ve thought about trying… do it.

Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest stay at rest. The most important thing is to just get started.

My Pilates practice got me going. I dabbled in everything and stuck with nothing… until Pilates.

But my Pilates practice gave me the confidence to say “yes” to other activities in life (that’s actually the point of Pilates). To keep going!

All the activities I’m doing in this video - I’m not “great” at any of them. (Besides teaching Pilates - I’ll admit I’m pretty good at that.) HOWEVER - I did them. It was fun. And it felt great.

I still stop. Sometimes I get stuck and I have to drag myself up and out. It doesn’t come natural to me, and it can be hard to be in a profession surrounded by superhumans.

Those are the times I know I need to make the appointment. Pay the fee. Sometimes, it starts with a walk, or a bike ride.

We all operate differently and the most important thing is to find what works for you.

Instagram will have you thinking it’s not enough. That’s it’s not “worth it” unless you’re running a marathon, lifting three times your body weight, or performing a “beautiful” Swan. Like if you can’t dedicate two hours a day with a team of trainers and give 110%, it’s not worth it. F**k that.

I’m thankful I signed up for that first reformer class. It showed me that moving my body and exercise doesn’t have to be a chore. And the more you do, the more you can do.

Get up and go for a walk. See what happens. Take it from there. 🫶🏼❤️🥰
