Last week I shared my favorite exercise from a few years ago at my previous location...

Here's an even older video of me practicing on my first reformer! I don't know why I just gave up and walked away from "Spear A Fish"
..I guess I just wasn't feeling it that day...(I think we all have those days)

HEY, are you alive out there?!

Social media can lead to toxic and downward spirals of negative news or clashing views (it's kind of designed to do that🙄)

But here...in studio...in real life we get with the program! Reset your mind...reset your wellbeing...reset your energy...reset your vibes...and reconnect with your own thoughts, your own breath, your own cardiac rhythm...and calm your blood pressure. We need less stress and more relaxation.

This week our focus is exactly THAT = "breath and relaxation"

Let's talk about the equipment and how I would rate/interprete them:

Reformer = the easiest and universal piece that embodies the Pilates practice of what people are most aware of
*great for mobility and a full body workout

Mat = the foundation to the Pilates work and the hardest place to practice the work
*most people do not like the Mat work and often choose the Reformer over the Mat (I am a strange one and LOVE the Mat work)

Trap Table/Tower = offers the most modifications and support for beginners, also offers the most acrobatic and super-advanced exercises for althetic individuals
*I like the trap due to the fact that you can push and pull intensely against it to gain more out of exercises, and to work weaker areas in the body that are difficult to target (in the Mat work) when you don't have the support of the Trap
*I feel like the Trap table is the essence of the entire Pilates practice; it is all encompassing!

Chair = the most challenging apparatus in the Pilates practice, a great workout for those who like to work "hard"
*I love to make men work on the chair and get them to break a sweat
*it is geared toward strength rather than flexibility
*all the others are much more supportive in building range, mobility, and flexibility (men typically lack these characteristics....so they NEED the other equipment, but tend to gravitate and be more "successful" on the Chair)

Barrel/Foam Roller/Arc = offers support for spine mobility and core strength
*I love working the side body on the barrel for entire lateral body work = side leg series, side obliques, under upper (side) arms
*this is a "feel good" apparatus
*It is also highly deceiving...you tend to work way harder on it than you are lead to believe

Sometimes all you need in life is a clean, quiet space...

= a space to stretch out...
= a space that feels familiar...
= a space that feels clutter free...
=a space to a clear the mind (to wander and be curious)...
= a space that leaves room for creativity and exploration...
= a space that offers inspiration...
=a space that feels hopeful and inviting

...Found an ad and picture from our first location...❤️

You might not know how Core Connection Pilates began...

It started in a small studio apartment on 5th street. Just private lessons...just a mat at first...then a small Reformer...and eventually to a slightly bigger space on 10th street...and then downtown on 8th Street where we are currently located.

We started as a Pilates Boutique = only offering individual sessions. Then small group classes and Reformer duos...to eventually getting all the equipment for private lessons...and eventually getting a full set up of Pilates chairs, arcs, towers, and more for equipment classes.

Surviving COVID shutdown...developing online classes and a database...and staying affordable for all ages and abilities to enjoy movement through many means.

Your support has been there from the start and I am entirely thankful for you sharing, for growing with the practice, and for being flexible with the eb and flow of life/the world/and whatever has happened in the last 8 or so years.

I want to say it keeps getting better...because most of the time it has...seeing many of you transform in life...into motherhood, into your own business endeavors, sharing your excitement of marriage, careers ...etc...but sometimes it went the other way...having to say goodbye to some of the greatest people I've met...being there when your career path or personal life fell through the cracks...or when life just sometimes sucks...

But we keep getting through it and movement more often then not brings relief, restoration, and perhaps is the best distraction when life gets heavy. Because it requires zero conversation...just a chance to lock in to the moment...and be present and available to yourself, your time, your own aura.

Ps. the person pictured is my mom...she was one of my first clients...I learned as she learned...and I just love this picture of her doing cleopatra.

~Move with confidence~✨️

-not EVERY thing will feel good
=some exercises might be outside your comfort zone
=some exercises might be challenging
=some exercises might feel quirky
=some exercises might not feel like aNything
=some exercises will feel foreign.....they might feel beyond or below your level, they might feel too easy, they might feel "wrong" or out of place, they might feel un-natural...

But some times to get back in place, in order, or beyond our comfort zone we have to work easier AND harder, we have to work through things that feel difficult or foreign, and we have to be open to new ideas... otherwise we will just stay in the same place.

Also remember not EVERY exercise in EVERY class is for you...maybe something that feels easy to you, feels challenging for the person next to you...or it may feel really good on their body like something that they were lacking...just like a different exercise will feel different on their body, but could feel great on yours.

As a teacher I have to read the room for each person in each exercise = and it doesn't always feel great to be hated in certain exercises...(even though the ones you hate are probably the ones you NEED the most)...I will take your snarks, your snares, your DEEP exhales, and your grunts and groans as a compliment...😏😵‍💫

Trust me this exercise did NOT feel comfortable for me when I tried it yesterday...but I do have a few acro student that I think will eat this up!😋

Ps...I will keep working at it...and trying to find more comfort, control, and mobility along the way= I'll share my progress!

💭What is an exercise you despise, but are determined to keep working at?!

Happy Holidays to ALL! 🎉

I tried to post on Christmas Day - but I got distracted numerous times...and the post I had saved got lost.

-----

Looking forward to seeing you all in 2026! I know I am behind on getting information out - slowly, but surely I am working on getting out what's to come in the New Year!

Planning and prepping is underway. Facebook, Instagram, email, and my website are the best ways for me to communicate with you.

Unfortunately, I have exceeded my Gmail contact list to be able to reach each and everyone of you on every email. Therefore if you reach out to me directly, it is easier for me to connect with you.

Classes@ccpilates.studio
Kkcoreconnectionpilates@gmail.com
..Are both great ways to reach me...

Texting and messaging on different platforms are difficult for me because I often read them in passing, but cannot give you the time or attention those messages often require. When I check my email I have more information readily at my fingertips and can address all your needs in a more focused manner.

Thank you for understanding - looking forward to connecting with you on an individual basis and moving with precision in 2026!
