Let me share a secret… I hate wearing workout clothes!

I’m not working out when I teach so I wear my normal everyday clothes. 💃🏽

It has been a while since I have been posting consistently so I want to take a moment to reintroduce myself. I’ve gained some new followers over the past few months of inactivity.

I am mom who is pushing 42 years old and have been teaching Pilates for over 18 years. It is a life long passions, among many others. My first love was photography so it’s nice to combine the two. I do teach in person classes in Lafayette, CA as well as online. You can DM me if you want to know where.

I have to remind people often that sometimes what you see is not what you get. The internet only tells a fraction of the story. Humans are complex ever changing beings and IG is only a glimpse into my life.

I am generally a warm socially capable introvert but can also be kind of like a skittish lap kitty who takes a second to warm up in unfamiliar settings. Please don’t take it personally if I am quiet. It has nothing to do with you.

I prefer deep non-judgmental psychological or metaphysical conversations about a wide range of things over small talk. Not that I can’t do small talk but it gets tedious and I rather just be silent. Silence is golden. ✨

I have super senses so I take in a lot of information at once but I have learned to tune things out over the decades. This is why I listen to a lot of music and prefer nature over a busy city.

You will see me share Pilates tutorials, and fitness pics mostly but I can be weird AF so if skin and artistic nudity offends you this might not be the profile for you. I am a naturist at heart.

I am a celiac so I cook a lot and will share that here too. One day I will share my recipes and flour blends but for now just pics.

Thank you for tuning into my IG, it means a lot. Every like, save, and share warms my heart. I see you. 😘 I am happy to inspire others to teach and do Pilates. ♥️

Who wants more combo chair workout reels?

I am finally strong enough to start putting more chair back into the mix. I was really bummed that my chair had been collecting dust. Feels great to use it again without pain.

No reformer, no problem! ✨

Resistance bands make a great substitute for Pilate rowing. This is one of many exercises I teach in the Props: Therapy Bands workshops. Videos available in the on-demand section.

Just a friendly reminder to teach the body in front of you because it is their workout not yours. ♥️

Leg Pull Back has several options to make it accessible. Using a box or yoga blocks under the hands can also offer wrist and shoulder relief. Props are tools, why not use them. 🙂

Off to explore. Wonder what I will find today.

Jour 23: Swimming with variations

Swimming teaches us so much and translates to sports well! For quad dominate runners it can help them connect to your posterior chain and build awareness for balancing hip recruitment. Swimming athletes can learn how to coordinate their upper and lower limps while building core awareness. Those butterfly swimmers really need it!

Whatever your sport, this exercise is deceptively challenging. It’s like tummy time when we where babies learning to lift our heads for the first time.
