I got to be apart of someones one hundredth class today. I heard about how pilates has changed her life and how she managed to avoid knee surgery. And the win is that we get to do this!

Anything goes from your nose to your toes... ask us a pilates question.
Do we have any burning pilates questions? Things you want to know but haven't found a space or person that can help you answer them? I would love to know and be able to direct you to a person who can help.

@Kirsten Glyn-Cuthbert They lift because the hip flexors want to help the abdominals. So the antidote is trying to strengthen the abdominals without triggering the hip flexors to engage. TRY THESE OPTIONS - You can reverse the exercises by doing eccentric lowering of the trunk to the mat very slowly (possible with a dumbell in your hands to help you get back up). - Try dorsiflexing the feet to encourage the heel to ground connection. - Do the roll up on the reformer heels on the foot bar and springs on a yellow or blue. You feel the middle needs the intervention but the poor feet look the villain. This version makes you face reality. - Do crunches with one leg long along the mat to pull the pelvis into neutral so that you stop tucking the tail in abdominal exercises. - I would practice Teaser Prep over and over again. Game changer strengthening and control exercise. - Strengthen hip extension to anchor down the legs better. Things like pelvic curl, donkey kicks and deadlifts will help. ENJOY the process :D

@Deline Wallace There yes or into your hands 🤪
Don't be a Gollum...be an Athina 😀
Story time... Take a walk with me...and let me recount a story to you in the first person. So you really get to feel my pain. I am sitting at my local coffee shop hoping to get some super creative and inspiring work done. "Fill my cup" kind of stuff. I pictured this tranquil environment where I could write some inspiring stuff, sit back and be satisfied with things. Secretly hoping a fish eagle would sore past once I was finished and I could smile on the inside. But my morning creative session is not quite going to plan. Rather than looking like a cool hipster I feel like I am sitting in a fireball while being poked in the eyeballs by lasers. I made the mistake of pre-ordering 2 coffees... Now I am stuck at the only table that is available and the sun is beating down on me. Basically scorching my skin (my wife & the kids says I am very dramatic...I can't understand why). This situation is like the reverse of a sexy cool lifestyle ad you see on tv. Normally the main actor is smiling and loving life. But me...I am sweating profusely, frowning, hunched over my screen and just in general having a miserable time. Basically I look like Gollum from the Lord of the rings. But it made me think of my new friend I made on a trail walk I was on - Athina...the friendly cow. Athina was living her best life. Chilling, eating grass and just generally being an awesome mammal. I think Athina would be someone who would invest in self care. Athina would focus on stretching and mobility and keeping the body functioning at 100%. Rather than being a Gollum. So if you want to be an Athina then head over to our classroom and pick a session for yourself today.
