Are you feeling inflexible with muscles so tight that you are experiencing back and shoulder pain? What is stopping you from trying Pilates?

Pilates is WONDERFUL for:
Flexibility
Balance
Joint Mobility
Lengthening the muscles
Elongating the spine
Improving posture

Aside from my profession as a nutritionist, I share an equal passion as a Pilates instructor. Formerly, I was more active as an outdoor adventurer, adrenaline ju**ie, triathlete, water enthusiast, and marathon runner.. I have my own personal journey with Pilates and how I healed my broken body and tight restrictive muscles, weakened core, and also bounce back in shape after having three sons. Ultimately this was one of the reasons I became a Pilates instructor and have been teaching for the last 10+ years. However, my true inspiration, motivator, and "kick ass" in the pants during some pretty broken times in my life, is my beautiful sister Janel Waldschmidt. After a tragic accident at 17-years of age, falling 35-feet breaking her back, ribs, and pelvis, and told that she would never walk normal again, nor have children, and be in pain for the rest of her life… she defied the odds. Recovering completely from Pilates along with the strength and determination that would challenge even the toughest of souls. Janel is my baby sister and has had the most profound affect on my life. I am so grateful to be part of Almaden Pilates with my bestie sister ❤️

So true! As a Pilates Mat based studio, it is apparent how strong our clients have become and continue to develop core strength and flexibility!

In BASI, the Mat Work is considered to be the “crown jewel” of Pilates. While many gravitate towards the equipment, mostly the Reformer, doing Mat Work offers many benefits. It is a non to low-impact workout. In addition, you work your entire body with the focus on strengthening your core (abdominals and back). The best thing about doing a mat class is that you do not need additional equipment, just you and your mat. To quote Rael, “ Being Mat fit is no doubt the pinnacle of Pilates fitness”.

This morning we had our make-up and final Pilates Sculpt class. I wanted to thank all of the AWESOME participants in our 10-Week Holiday Health & Fitness Challenge! A fabulous group of ladies who dedicated every Wednesday morning at 6:45 AM to strengthen and tone their bodies! It was great to watch everyone get stronger each week. I am so impressed with those who chose the nutrition challenge! The amount of inches lost in the abdominal area & hips, loss in body fat and total weight lost was incredible! I want to thank Clarissa Shetler of C2 California Clean for donating awesome skincare products to our participants! Thank you, thank you to all!

For all the parents out there, take a look at this article.

The health of today's children is compromised by a culture of convenience and increasingly sedentary activity. Eating fast food, watching TV and playing video games has become habitual while a nutritious diet and physical activity is on the downslide.
