So I had this happen. Bought a new long universal reformer from . The carriage is not returning all the way in so I was like a sleuth trying to figure out what the situation was. I loosened up the carriage wheels as this can be a culprit. And then I remembered how Romana had Basil from Gratz come into Drago's in New York City and tell him the straps were too long on the reformers they were manufacturing. I tightened up the leather straps bolts as much as I could and it's still not coming in completely. I called Gratz, showed them the photo and they're sending me new straps with the correct measurement. Funny how the little things matter. Thank you Romania. ❤️🙏

I was talking to a colleague about how, when teaching, I have clients focus on their bones in pilates. She told me how she mentioned it to another teacher and they rolled their eyes. I'm not quite sure why because I wasn't party to the discussion, but I guess it's just not what someone who is focused on muscle tension would be interested in. But it's been my experience, that it is the fastest and easiest way to help regulate the nervous system. Does it take the client being educated in their own skeletal system? Yes. Is it easier just to tell somebody to engage their core? Yes. But that's not how I roll. I just pull our life size skeleton over, Bone-ita 🤣, and start showing people how the bones work.

THIS... Simple but not easy. As compared to HIIT which is High-Intensity Interval Training. Capiche?

Is your practice "wide" or is it "deep"? AND deeper doesn't mean easier.

From my devotional reading today. My nervous system, mainly my vagus nerve, has said enough. Focus is my super power. Which way do I want it to go? Love or Fear? I have been saying I choose Love, but my actions have not been reflecting that. So here's a restart to Love.

This year has been one of big events, our 25th anniversary, and big change. Everyone of these women have handled it with so much grace. I count myself lucky to work besides them. ❤️
