Exciting new mat classes coming to North Chatham! Check it out!!!

🌟In addition to my LIVE virtual class on Saturday mornings, I've added some in-person opportunities for Chapel Hill!
----------------
Let's work on:
Building strength
Increasing flexibility and mobility
Improving balance, coordination, and body awareness
Optimizing our posture
Toning up the core (fewer back issues, more support, better pelvic floor functioning)
Tapping into breathwork- centering, improving core and pelvic floor, reducing back discomfort!
-------------------
So we can:
Live with fewer restrictions & reservations and less missing out!
Move with greater confidence!
Experience less discomfort!
Tackle anything (from lifting groceries to running a marathon) that comes our way!
Embrace whatever stage of life we're in!

Breathing with full, deep breaths demands ribcage mobility, core activation, respiratory endurance and a coordination of mind and body. Check out this virtual series by Ashley Prulliere to help you feel more centered, flexible, and strong by learning how to breathe deeply and fully.

Post-Covid Breathwork and Movement 💝
If you or someone you love is having a hard time bouncing back, this is a program worth checking out. 🤗 This 3 week series aims to help those with breathing and endurance challenges:
👉🏻 work on various breathing techniques to promote lung fitness, rib mobility, diaphragm movement, and stress reduction
👉🏻stretch tight muscles that tend to worsen during illness and limit our ability to breathe fully
👉🏻 move the body in conjunction with diaphragmatic breathing strategies, promoting rib mobility (lungs need to expand so ribs need to make room and move!), spine flexibility, and calm.
🙏Note: This is not physical or respiratory therapy. No prescription needed. It is foundational breathwork with helpful, intentional movement. 🦋
⭐️
Details and schedule:
This program meets LIVE VIRTUALLY once per week for 3 weeks for 50-60 minutes/session.
💥January 29- February 12, 2022
🎯Saturday at 9:45am CST
🌟Two-three homework exercises assigned per week to promote faster gains.
🦋Please follow link in bio or message back to learn more or sign up. 🤗

L A U G H T E R 🙌 I’m talking full on belly laugh 💥 When was the last time you let go and just HAD FUN?! 🦋 I know I need gentle encouragement not to be so hard on myself. Maybe you do as well, so I’ll ask: Can you intentionally let go and be kind to yourself today? 🙌 I promise your standards will still be high, but you’ll be free from the smoke and mirrors of perfection and the pain that comes with taking yourself too seriously...and you just might enjoy life and those around you a bit more. ❤️ After all, laughter really IS the best medicine. 🙏

Never stop learning! 💥 Even with years of Pilates experience, private sessions with Katie always take my personal practice up a notch. 🎯 Cueing is so valuable in terms of taking our movement practice to the next level. 🦋 I have clients tell me all the time: I thought I was lined up like this or moving like that, but I was waaaaayyy off! No wonder my hip/back/knee was hurting!😬
❤️Tuning in and receiving feedback and cues from a skilled instructor can be super helpful in helping you learn more about your movement patterns and posture habits. 🤗 If you’re always working out with a video recording and avoiding live, personal training, you’re missing out! 🧚‍♀️No matter how “pro” you are, take your learning to the next level and find someone who understands the body, movement, and compensatory habits, and is able to skillfully communicate to bring about positive change. 💝 Chances are you’ll move more efficiently and feel better in the long run. 🙌

Learning to truly move better can change your life. One of my favorite quotes from Joseph Pilates is "You are only as old as your spine. If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it is completely flexible at 60, you are young!” HOW YOUNG ARE YOU?
