The seated row is one of the best moves for building back strength and improving posture.

It targets the key posterior back and shoulder muscles that help you extend your spine, draw your shoulder blades together and down, and open your chest — the perfect antidote if you’ve been rounded or slouched over your desk all day.

It’s especially important for women, since strengthening the back of the spine supports bone density and can help those with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

It’s not easy — I struggle with it a bit — but I’m improving with regular practice!

✨ The holiday season is officially underway — and with it come the parties, treats, and extra calories! ✨

I always like to add a little cardio to my workouts this time of year. Not just for burning off those extra indulgences, but because cardio is essential for heart health, boosting energy, and building bone density.

In this clip, I start with half-jacks to get the blood flowing, then progress to full jacks, focusing on a gentle landing.

Light impact helps stimulate bone density, elevates the heart rate, strengthens the core and glutes, and helps with balance and coordination.

It can also help lift your mood especially if you’re one that finds “the most wonderful time of year” a little stressful.

A little movement goes a long way — especially during the holidays! 🎄💪

Teaching in the Classroom -some important tips for new teachers. ✨

Part of your Pilates Mat Teacher Training involves learning proper classroom etiquette. ✅

Always arrive a few minutes early—this gives you the chance to check in with your students and learn about any injuries or issues you should be aware of. ⏰

Instead of standing at the front of the room and asking the whole group if anyone has injuries (which can feel intimidating), let your students know that you’ll be walking around before class. Tell them that if they have something to share, they can simply wave you over. 👩🏻‍🏫👋

This allows students to chat comfortably on their mats while giving those who need to speak with you a private moment. 💬

Remember, many people don’t want to announce their concerns to a full room—whether it’s someone managing osteoporosis or someone newly pregnant who prefers discretion. 😉

Arriving early not only keeps your students safe, but also gives you the chance to welcome newcomers and learn names, building real connection from the start. It also gives you a moment to settle in and prepare. ☺️

Consistently arriving late—rushed, breathless, and stressed—not only sets the wrong tone for the room, but can also become a concern for management. Professionalism matters, and chronic lateness can even put your position at risk. 💛

I hope you find these tips helpful! ✅

And always remember, repertory, technique, and cueing are all essential—but so are the interpersonal connections you build with your students and your company. 🙏
