Elyse is 😍 crushing 🤩 one of many variations of pushups on the Pilates Wunda Chair.

This variation is excellent for building shoulder & scapular stability. It is especially good if you have a notable imbalance between left and right sides. Longterm results: this type of training will help engage your big muscles instead of predominantly relying your support structure (joints & tendons etc.). We all know how Alisha feels about sagging spines and winging scaps during pushups 🙃

Interested in trying it? Let your instructor know and we can work up to it or give it a go at your next session 💪

Geordan is making this look easy!

There are a lot of little things she has been working on that come together in this exercise:
- Maintaining rib connection
- Increasing spine articulation & control through neutral, flexion & extension
- Developing an even C-Curve with improved lumbar flexion
- Chest & thoracic opener in extension
- Consistency with shoulder organization & congruency
- Head alignment in relationship to spine
- Utilizing glutes & lower abdominals more than flexibility
- Coordination of movement & breath

What is means: She's not just flailing about but intentionally moving her limbs and spine in a thoughtful way that is initiated from her core. This translates not only to improving her Pilates practice, but also her posture & everyday movement mechanics outside of the studio.

Looking to deepen your connection to your body and understanding of Pilates: sign up for our limited class offerings on our website or reach out to the studio to register for the new client introductory series (required before joining small group sessions). Please note that classes and small group sessions are different services, and our small group session schedules are not available for drop ins so they are not posted online.

P.S. Please also excuse my shortness of breath - this was my last session before going on bedrest for maternity leave.

"Not only is health a normal condition, but it is our duty to not only to attain it but to maintain it."

So says the one and only Joseph Pilates. Do you know the purpose of true Pilates? There's a reason so many swear by its restorative and preventative qualities. It's not just a fast-paced, sweaty ab workout . . . it's truly so much more.

Find out more, book a session, and see for yourself.

Change happens through movement . . . and movement heals.

So said the great Joseph Pilates, and so we see and feel and experience every day at the studio. Movement isn't just healing--it's essential to a life well-lived. And when we forget, we look to the clients that return to our studio session after session, day after day, week after week, and we know that what we do has made a difference in their lives and in their well being.
