Chara Pilates

Reaching into the weekend with arm circles and a wee bit of back extension. Can you say YUM-MEE? And it’s a light spring for me, so 1 Blue. Wearing @athleta Salutation Stash Tight in Grey and @aloyoga Lark Crop Top in Powder Blue Heather. And you can’t see my find but wearing @greatsoles Isabella Grip Sock in Sand/Gold. #greatsolesforgreatsouls #progressnotperfection #lovewhatyoudo #allegro2 #pilatesreformer #armworkout #armdayeveryday #coreworkouts #abworkout #balancedbody #corestrength #pilates #pilatesstudio #pilatescommunity #pilatesinstructor #pilatestododia #pilateseveryday #pilateslovers #contrology #dopilates #pilatesbody #pilatesworkout #fitnessinfluencer #pilatesforathletes #movethebody #movementheals #faithandfitness #beinspired

It’s PLANKSGIVING Season...and it truly is the gift that keeps on giving ... It’s a light spring for me so 1B but you could take the load up or down based on the body in front of you. Wearing @athleta Salutation Stash Pocket Tight in Black @climawear Leah Bra in Black And no grip socks today but if I did, they would be @great-soles. #greatsolesforgreatsouls #progressnotperfection #lovewhatyoudo #allegro2 #pilatesreformer #armworkout #armdayeveryday #coreworkouts #abworkout #balancedbody #corestrength #pilates #pilatesstudio #pilatescommunity #pilatesinstructor #pilatestododia #pilateseveryday #pilateslovers #contrology #dopilates #pilatesbody #pilatesworkout #fitnessinfluencer #pilatesforathletes #movethebody #movementheals #faithandfitness #beinspired

Demonstrating a Reverse Side-Lying Unilateral Arm movement whilst squeezing a ball between the ankles for more Adductor and Pelvic Floor activation (and focusing intensely as I stare off into the distance...). Don’t sink into your waist and stay lifted in the supporting shoulder all whilst keeping your hips and shoulders stacked. Repeat on other side. And that’s Pilates...(dropping the mic ).

Abs , Arms and A** . Feeling all the feels with this movement. Look closely because I have my forearms pressed against the shoulder pads whilst my hands are in prayer position. This gives me leverage so that I can control the movement in and out. Happy Hump Day!

TGIF because it’s been a CRAZY, WILD RIDE since last weekend when the power outages, wildfires and evacuations started. Fridays, in general, are the perfect time for Pilates in PJs. Now add Wildfire Season to the mix, and a Martini sounds like the perfect compliment to my Pilates in PJs sesh ...or maybe not . Back to the clip, it is Unilateral Feet in Straps whilst doing step ups. Legs , Core and Bum are actively engaged for the duration of the ...movement whilst the Arms press down into the carriage to assist with stability and balance . Repeat on the other side. Wearing @honeydewintimates Long Sleeve Button-Down Romper in Black Still soooo comfy And Enjoy 15% Off your Order with CHARA15 at honeydewintimates.com #pilatesinpjs #pilatesinpajamas #pajamapilates #progressnotperfection #legday #legworkout #coreday #coreworkout #lovewhatyoudo #allegro2 #pilatesreformer #balancedbody #corestrength #pilates #pilatesstudio #pilatescommunity #pilatesinstructor #pilatestododia #pilateseveryday #pilateslovers #contrology #pilatesbody #pilatesworkout #fitnessinfluencer #pilatesforathletes #movethebody #movementheals #faithandfitness #beinspired #honeydewintimates

Who else needs this working stretch ? After an amazing yet exhausting PMA Conference in Monterey and then coming home to Power Outages and Wildfires, I need this stretch and about 200 more. It is hard to describe the palpable uneasiness that everyone feels here. It’s just not okay on so many levels. Rant over.

TGIAF...thank God it’s almost Fri-Yay! That means it’s the perfect time for Pilates in PJs...and with the weather changing up here, I kinda want to stay in PJs all day. Who is with me? In this clip, I’m starting in a speed skater position (aka squat) then pressing through both legs to open into a split. Pause momentarily at the split and grow taller until fully upright as you draw the carriage back into the stopper . Reset and repeat. This split variation has a... little bit of e’rything some Core , Leg and Booty AND of course, repeat this on the other side. Also, if you are wondering, I’m on 1R but you could take the load up or down based on the body in front of you. Wearing @honeydewintimates Long Sleeve Button-Down Romper in Black...super cute and cozy!!

It’s Sunday FUNday and I’m swimming into the week.... LOOK CLOSELY as I’m moving my Arms as if doing the breaststroke AND I’m only utilizing one rope/loop so this is essentially Unilateral Arm work. Therefore you need to REPEAT this on the other side. Progress. Not Perfection. Wearing @lspace Piper Top in Black (I have a LOT of pieces from them ) and @zingaraswimwear bottom which I purchased in Mexico...love their swimwear. #progressnotperfection #unilateral #armday #abday #coreday #lovewhatyoudo #allegro2 #pilatesreformer #balancedbody #corestrength #pilates #pilatesstudio #pilatescommunity #pilatesinstructor #pilatestododia #pilateseveryday #pilateslovers #contrology #dopilates #pilatesbody #pilatesworkout #fitnessinfluencer #pilatesforathletes #movethebody #movementheals #faithandfitness #beinspired

Pike to Plank to Knee Press to Plank to Pike . REPEAT. Lengthen and strengthen utilizing the Abs , Arms , A** and Legs for a whole lot of feels in places you didn’t know had feels. Not to bore you with such technical jargon because feels is just SO specific. Right?!?
