My love of yoga has not diminished in over 16 years of regular practice and teaching.
“Yoga has an extremely balancing effect on the nervous system through the use of deeper breathing. It is a very detoxifying practice through the twists and turns of the postures, helping to bring hydration and fresh blood supply to the organs and joints. The focus and concentration required in some of the postures keeps you very anchored in the moment and out of the distractions of the day, which helps to create a bit of space in the mind.”
I am 2 years in Reformer Pilates Instructor and graduate Teacher from 2 schools.
What are the key benefits of Reformer Pilates?
Beyond the physical and mental health benefits of working out, here’s are just some of the reasons it is an effective way to exercise:
Quickly build core strength and tone muscles.
Avoid injury with low impact movements.
Improve posture, flexibility and balance.
The springs are there to offer stability and resistance and build strength while our body is supported by the machine.Improve mental health with a mind-body workout.
I am a Certified Mat Pilates Level 1 Instructor
Mat Pilates is a form of Pilates performed on a floor mat using body weight for resistance, focusing on core strength, flexibility, and overall body awareness. Unlike Pilates done on specialized equipment like the Reformer, mat Pilates requires minimal props, making it accessible and convenient.
Differences:
Mat Pilates uses a mat and body weight; Reformer Pilates uses a machine with springs for adjustable resistance.
Mat Pilates emphasizes controlled movements and breathing without external resistance.
Equipment-based Pilates can target muscles more intensely due to adjustable resistance.
Benefits of Mat Pilates:
Improves core strength and stability
Enhances flexibility and posture
Increases body awareness and control
Accessible anywhere without special equipment
Supports injury prevention and rehabilitation through gentle, controlled movements
Mat Pilates is ideal for building foundational strength and mobility, suitable for all fitness levels.
Education is key to quality of teaching
I look forward to sharing with you.
Improving mobility, stability and flexibility to better you!
