NEW TEACHER ALERT We’re so thankful to add another fabulous instructor to our team! Rebecca { @rebsshreds } is an Apprentice Pilates Instructor that will teach Wed PM + Fri AM in-person privates, along with Wed 6PM All Levels Zoom Mat Class. Rebecca’s love of movement was shaped as a child in the world of competitive dance, but it was her criticism of that atmosphere that brought her to Pilates. She quit dance as a young adult and took a long break from energetic movem...ent altogether. She eventually found herself with persistent pain in her low back and arthritis in her knees, for which a doctor prescribed a future of pain management. She rejected that and found Pilates. This modality of movement helped her realign imbalances after so many years with a distorted perception of her own body. She realized that exercise isn't about vanity; it’s about getting stronger and learning how to use our muscles more efficiently to move with less effort and less pain. She received her certification in Pilates mat and reformer from Body Harmonics, a program that prioritizes biomechanics and moving in ways that feel good. She creates a gentle and welcoming place, tailored to safely match the skill levels of individual clients, so they feel empowered and successful. Devoted to ongoing education in her field, she is working toward her comprehensive Pilates certification, a secondary specialization in post-rehab, as well as an eventual doctorate in Occupational Therapy to someday work as a pelvic floor therapist. As a complement to Pilates, she is certified in pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise, NASM personal training, Booty Barre instruction, and she has studied the work of the Postural Restoration Institute and the Buteyko Breathing Method. She teaches with a non-competitive and body neutral perspective and takes care to use gender inclusive language. Her teaching is informed by a history of chronic pain, and she offers an adaptable method with variations for both ease and challenge. Outside of her movement practice, Rebecca makes use of her BA from UC Santa Barbara in studio art, plays drums and guitar in a few local bands, and spoils a sleepy lizard.

The safety of our staff & clients is our #1 priority! . . . .... . #covid19 #covidsafety #ppe #wearamask #socialdistance #safetyfirst #healpilates #pilates #pilatesstudio #pilatesclass #pilatesreformer #reformerpilates #reopening #reopeningsafely #albanyca #eastbay #solanoavenue #solanoavepilates #eastbaypilates #albanycapilates #richmondcapilates #berkeleypilates #elcerritocapilates #smallbusiness #smallbiz #entrepreneurlife See more

Enter to win by 3/22! This year for World Water Day, Gravity Water { @gravitywater } is working with businesses in local communities to create a clean water raffle program, with the goal of providing 1,000 children with safe drinking water. World Water Day, which takes place on March 22nd of every year, is the international holiday focused on helping alleviate the Global Water Crisis, which is the reality that over 2 billion people still depend on contaminated water f...or their drinking water source. Gravity Water installs their rain water harvesting and filtration systems at schools in developing countries, providing children with access to a safe, free source of drinking water they can use on-site. The cost of providing a child safe drinking water averages $8/child, which is also the price of each raffle ticket. Funding from the raffle will be used to build clean water projects in Nepal and Vietnam between April and June of this year. See more

#posture & shoulder reset! Align the spine against the wall with #foamroller Position the foam roller against the wall and your spine against the foam roller. Feet hip width, parallel, one step away from roller with knees slightly bent. Connect the following points to the foam roller: sacrum, back of ribs (not forcefully), upper back, back of head. Notice which areas are hard to connect Begin with slow arm circles both directions. Arms can be bent. Try to slide shou...lders down the back as you lower the arms. Next, open and close your arms. Try to expand on your flexibility with each repetition, seeing if you can open the arms wider without popping out the rib cage. Before closing the arms, can you relax your shoulders? Don’t forget to #breathe & enjoy this yummy sequence : NICHOLAS PAYTON See more
