Echelon Pilates with Erin Brown

This applies to just about anything you find challenging! Find your breath and stay calm. Keeping your cool will increase your chances of organizing yourself.

It’s a practice I personally work through often. Sometimes the harder I try and the more I tense up, the worse it gets. Rather than getting all squirrelly, I’m better served by maintaining a sense of relaxation (yes, even when working out).

Have you experienced this yourself? Have you tried to back yourself up for a calmer approach?

Be smart. Honor your body as it is today.
There is nothing wrong with leaving an exercise like Rowing out. Skilled practitioners know they can challenge and reorganize themselves best by going back to the basics. (hello, Roll Up). And there ain’t no shame in that game 😉

My happy lil spot in this world to teach Contrology.
I dreamt I had to move my equipment into a dark dungeon-y space and I was like “it’s okay. The teaching is the same.” BUT I admit to feeling quite relieved when I awoke and realized this sunny space was still our Pilates home.
Plenty of parking 🚗
Quality .bb equipment
Abundance of light and plants 🪴
& the best students who show up consistently and do the work!
