Today is the day...I’m breaking my IG silence. And the reason is to tell you about the great workout I got from

You 👏🏻 guys 👏🏻

You know when your legs are shaking and your body is screaming at you to stop but a little part of your brain whispers “you can do this” and you do. You push through. And the feeling of accomplishment washes over you as you walk out feeling like Gumby. Ya, that feeling is what I got from their class. Thank you Melissa for the AMAZING class this morning and reminding me that my body is so much stronger than what is feels.

A little abdominal work coming at you today. As you curve down on your tail bone exhale pulling your rib cage closed and your pelvis tilts anteriorly. The abdominal wall pulls into your center midline. Control your breath and never fully release the control. Watch your low back as it can take the weight if you loose the control.

This motion takes a ton of mind body control and a lot of times I see clients bounce on the ball. The ball is simply there to remind you to not dump. The lifting and lowering comes from the inhale and exhale of the abdominal wall.

Give it a go and drop a comment on what you think!

Work + a little faith can take you a long way.

No matter what you do, do with confidence and grace. Give yourself the time you need to do everything the best that you can.

Good morning and Happy Sunday!

Sunday’s for me are all about what fill your cup and feed your soul. For me that includes a great cup of coffee ☕️ and some barre work. And of course my favorite kind of barre work, hitting that t**h.

So tell me! What fills your cup and feeds your soul?

Angles are just that angles

We all have a “side” and we all know how to pose

But what if we just loved our bodies for what they are and what they can do for us?

No more sides, no more poses.

Just love?

What if we taught our daughters that our bodies are beautiful no matter what? Instead of trying on clothes in front of them and tearing ourselves down we brought ourselves up? What would the next generation look like?

I bet it would be beautiful.

One of the things I love about both barre and Pilates is the mind body connection that it takes to get through the hour. Because there is always. ALWAYS. A point in time when you want to give up. Where your body is shaking and everything in you is saying “this is too hard walk away” but with the deep connection that’s been created you are able to quiet the mind and push through. I watch my clients everyday search for their stopping point, find it and push through it. Now that’s something special to behold.
