Here is the rest of my pilate reformer class from last week’s post. You can see that there is a lot of contemporary exercises in here too. I do many more reps.

Typically my goal with classes is to get people in their body! There’s no better way to get present with yourself than “time under tension.” Oh trust, your body will speaking to you. Time under tension is what increases strength and endurance.

I don’t use music in my classes, my voice gives the timing and tempo of each exercise learned from my years as a modern dancer. Our teachers would give the rhythm of the movement to the live musician who would then put it to music. This was different every dance class. Quite special. In pilates, I use my voice to cue the specific timing of each exercise. I snap of course as well 😂

When class flows quickly from one exercise to the next with “breaks” continuing the movement in a stretch or flowing mermaid it feels really complete at the end. Then you go about your day feeling alive in your body.

Pilates is a name used by many :) What’s important is to find a home studio that helps you meet your needs and goals. If education, care and thoughtfulness are values to you, then this is what you should seek out in a studio. Comprehensively certified pilates professionals are educated on all of the pilates apparatus (not just the reformer) and typically hold a 500+ hour training.

If you’re young, have no pain, and have an already established fitness program, you can probably go most places. But the more vulnerable you feel, the more you will want detailed care that is appropriate for your body.

Start with your goals and from there find a studio that can help you carve out a plan to meet those goals. I recommend pilates classes / privates but also specific videos on our virtual studio and/ or other types of fitness.

If you’re in LA we have a one private + one class intro to get you started. 😘

PROGRESSIONS - Here is another progression of rolling side to side. Each progression includes more movement and requires more of the body.

1. Roll on the tail right and left. The legs are bit of a fan kick. Lean into your elbows for this first one.
2. Then include rolling back onto one side of the spine and up and then other. Switch the legs midair. Try this without your arms/ hands!
3. Finally, transition this roll into a standing position.

To roll from your back up to your feet takes flexibility and strength.

Maybe you look at these clips and say, “What’s this for?” Rolling on the floor is great for decreasing back aches. Rolling to stand means that you can propel your body in space, knowing how to use momentum to your advantage. Plus, this is a really fun way to get your workout in.

Just send us an email at reception@mindandmotionpilates.com and we will get you scheduled. Getting in your body is always a good idea. 😌

It’s eerie out there today. People are in masks because of the smoke and ash falling from the sky. It feels like covid again.

Many people have been displaced - they’ve lost homes and businesses.

Luckily, Mind & Motion and our home were not in a fire zone and so both are still standing. But we are ALL feeling the great loss that has transpired over the past 48 hours. Most Angelenos know someone who’s lost a home. The feeling of loss is palpable.

It’s not over yet. Fires are still burning. We are still in the thick of threat and loss.

As lifelong Angeleno myself, I’ve lived through riots and earthquakes but this feels like one of the biggest attacks on my home.

Where this differs from Covid, we can and need to all come together to heal and rebuild after this fire. Mind & Motion will be holding donation classes in the coming weeks. More on that soon.

For now - We ❤️ you LA!!!!!

Women are getting less exercise than men and it’s a problem. The problem is simple - women tend to prioritize others over themself.

I’ve seen this firsthand. A mother of young kids will come into the studio, desperately need to start a fitness practice, take a series of privates, love it (be so thankful). I will transition them to classes and then they drop off. Where did they go?

Listen - the stage in life when you are married with young kids, a career (or not), is INSANELY busy. Being a mom is more than a full-time job, it’s an overtime full-time job. Women tend to be the ones who not only manage their kids but also manage the household. Oftentimes we are managing people at work. Our lives are very full. (I’m including myself here).

But there is a problem. We will feel the results of prioritizing others over ourself.

It may come in the form of anxiety or depression. It may manifest itself in the form of chronic pain, or a longterm illness. The point is - exercise is so important for our overall health!

This post is not meant to be shaming in anyway because I absolutely hate that. We are all doing the best we can.

Remember, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. Even if you can’t make it into the studio for a reformer class, roll out your mat and do a 20-minute pilates mat at home. This is why the virtual studio is automatically included in every reformer class membership at Mind & Motion. I really really think everyone can give at least one hour a week to an in-studio class.

I like that this article also makes suggestions that are compassionate. If you fall off, it’s ok, you can just start again. Find an accountability buddy!

Like I’ve said before, the more likely you schedule your workout, the more likely you will be consistent. Block one hour a week for a weekly class or appointment. It will make such a difference.

I’m here to encourage and help you! Even if you don’t like pilates! It doesn’t matter. There is some type of movement you will like. It’s all about creating that recipe that works for you.

ALL IMAGES BY Thank you for your contribution to this article!

Yesterday we celebrated 13 years of Mind & Motion. I feel so blessed to have the most amazing team .photography .semaan and community of those committing to a weekly pilates practice. I see you!!!! 👍🏻

We started a GOALS board that is now hanging in the studio. We can our goal in every class!

A weekly movement practice is so important for the body as we navigate life: have children, enter perimenopause, then menopause… At Mind & Motion we cater to women (and men!) at all stages of life and equip them to stay mobile so they we can partake in life more fully!

A huge thank you to for her delicious scones! for the most gorgeous flowers! for our hot lattes. for the face wipes!!!!

Our goal this year is to scale and increase our membership. The neighborhood community of Hancock Park has a home where to create a consistent fitness practice for themselves and teachers who can guide and nurture their body. 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

I’ll see you in the studio!
