Praying for the safety of everyone affected by the wildfires in California 🙏🏼

This is a great reminder that things can be replaced, but you, your friends and family cannot.

Stay safe and stay strong.

Are you curious about Pilates and nervous to take a class? ☮️ I always hear “Pilates is too hard”, “Pilates is for athletes/dancers”. Pilates is for any BODY. 💪 It’s user friendly for all body types. You will leave feeling energized and empowered and wanting to come back for more. ✨

Join me on the mat at Trumbull Physical Therapy & Wellness Center located at 6527 Main Street, Trumbull CT. 📍Link in bio to book through Vagaro (in-person or virtual) or DM me for more details!

My client Steve is an avid road biker. Rides all over and does centurian rides as well. He was struggling with a pretty intense hip flexor/ quad issue on one side which was holding him back from his full potential as he was in pretty decent pain.

I assessed his movement patterns and gave him a few simple release patterns for certain muscles that were over active and then taught him some simple pre and post mobility and flexibilty things to do.

He was so happy to be pain free and riding like the wind. 🚴‍♂️💨

Why New Year’s resolutions are a waste of time.

Research shows that only 5% of people stick with their resolution after January. That’s why I set monthly intentions instead.

To stay disciplined I recommend finding an accountability partner! Whether it’s a friend, loved one or even a coach. Connect with them in person or over the phone once a week to keep yourself motivated. Research shows you’re 65% more likely to complete your goal when you have one versus when you don’t.

If you’re overwhelmed with your goals, prioritize the one that could literally bring you to tears. Follow your emotions and follow through. You can do it.

Stay chill this holiday season.
Choose joy over stress.
Breathe, smile and savor the moments that matter most.
Be “present” more. Less presents.

We did a thing over the weekend… been looking for a bit and actually had a deposit on another bully who had a grade 3 heart murmur 😞 . We were going to stop looking and then this little lady fell right into our lives. Say hello to Gigi 🙂
10 weeks old and full of love, freshness, farts , burps , hiccups and razor sharp puppy teeth.

Because of I am so many things. First I would like to thank for creating this amazing art form of movement 🙏. It has forever changed me as a human and as an instructor. Pilates healed my body, it also healed my mind and it healed my soul. Just like the title of his book “Return to Life” Through Contrology , I have literally done just that. I am forever grateful and love what I do.

In the US alone, over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used, ranking us #1 in the world.

This is why I started following the Environmental Working Groups research a couple years ago! Each year they release their analysis of the most contaminated foods, dubbed The Dirty Dozen™, as well as the least contaminated, known as The Clean Fifteen.

I thought I would share their findings for 2024, because you are what you eat!! If you found this helpful, please share with your friends and family!
