Garage Pilates

So VERY excited to be presenting this year at Momentum Fest alongside some fantastically amazing individuals! It will not shock you to hear that I absolutely love Pilates! I love all movement actually, and thanks to my girl Jackie @healthy_with_a_side_of_wine I have such a deep appreciation for my yoga practice now! I never thought I would ever say that, but it’s amazing what an open mind and a knowledgeable Instructor can do for a gal. It’s not just Pilates and yoga that fil...l my cup, I love meeting other folks who are passionate about movement as well! This is one of the many reasons why a highlight of the year for me is always attending Momentum Fest in Denver, Colorado. Have you ever had such a cool experience that it almost downplays the experience to try and put it into words? That’s what I am suddenly feeling as I attempt to articulate what Momentum Fest actually is and the upbeat, welcoming vibe it provides. A completely safe gathering for all movement lovers at every fitness level to fearlessly be in their bodies, share knowledge, support one another, and cheerfully spend quality time together! My friend Jessica @jessicavalantpilates has worked tirelessly to allow for options when it comes to attending Momentum Fest @momentumfest this year. Not only is there an in-person and virtual option for you to choose from, but you can participate in as many classes per day as you like! Of course we will be reserving our spot in these classes ahead of time but it’s very easily done! Straight from www.momentumfest.com: Momentum Fest is a three day Pilates and movement celebration. Feed your body, mind and soul with empowering movement classes, motivating conversations, an inclusive community and uplifting connections. Momentum Fest will be offering both in an in person and virtual event option in 2021. They will both be held June 25-27 in order to give everyone an opportunity to move, feel motivated and be in community together! We look to the future with hope and inspiration and will continue to work towards our vision of inclusivity, celebration and community. #pilateslovers #momentumfest #Yoga #Movement #MoveYourBody #Retreat #Fitness #PilatesInstructor

We have guest instructor Siri Dharma Galliano coming to Garage Pilates!! Siri is fortunate enough to have been trained by Romana Kryzanowska who was arguably one of Joseph Pilates’ prized pupils.There is such a buzz right now in the Pilates industry regarding the history of Joseph Pilates, what his life was like in Europe before he came to New York, how his original Studio operated while he and Clara taught Contrology? What individuals came to his "gym"? Who did he teach tha...t was fit to carry on his legacy? What does a true Classical Mat Pilates Class feel like? So many stories are now circulating from those who personally knew Joseph Pilates and were lucky enough to work out in his studio on his equipment following his cues! His clients and other researchers are writing books and giving interviews and thanks to the power of social media we are able to hear these cool stories about our beloved Pilates industry! We know that all movement is valuable and that the exercises Joseph Pilates created have positively changed lives. I personally love reading these books written about Joe (possibly more than I love reading the books written BY Joe). Pilates Mat and Chat with Siri Friday April 30th 1pm Classical Pilates Mat Class 2pm Q&A Discussion $50 Early Bird Pricing *all fitness levels welcome *space is limited due to social distancing guidelines Reservations made online at www.garagepilates.net

You know the routine: complete the workout, share to social media and you are entered to win an entire month of free in-studio classes at Garage Pilates! This Pilates Mat class, beginner level and 30 minutes in length, always makes me a bit nostalgic! This class was both shared live on social media and filmed for our free Garage Pilates YouTube channel on Tuesday, March 17, 2020. St. Patrick’s Day! It was the last class w...e held in the studio before everything shut down initially. We were all so optimistic and after we filmed the class as we said a quick goodbye and something along the lines of: see you in two weeks! I don’t think any of us could have predicted what life was going to be like moving forward. Having said that, this is truly one of my favorite classes I have ever taught! The vibe was so happy and everyone was cheerful ... and I really feel like we nailed the cinematography See more

Day 5 of Garage Pilates YouTube workout challenge. Complete this yoga flow (link in bio) led by Jackie, post to your social media and you will be entered to win a free month of in-studio classes at Garage Pilates. This is a special flow, consider the meaning: The phrase Padma Mudra directly translates to Lotus Seal in Sanskrit. The Lotus Mudra opens the heart chakra and is a symbol of purity. This pose symbolizes a beautiful bud yearning toward the light, growing out of the deep dark muck of the pond water. source: Seattle Yoga News

Day 4 of Garage Pilates YouTube Challenge: Mat Pilates with Erin @foundation.pilates Complete the workout, post to your social media and be entered to win a month of free in-studio classes at Garage Pilates! If you’re thinking about taking up mat Pilates, you’re in for an exercise that tones, strengthens and burns fat and boosts mental health. What is mat Pilates? While it seems fitness society only started talking about Pilates as a form of exercise a few years ago, the wor...kout has actually been around much longer than we think. Joseph Pilates developed the exercise in the 1920s as a way for bedridden hospital patients injured during WWI to keep up their strength. After opening his first Pilates studio near the New York City Ballet, he ended up using his practice to help recover injured ballerinas who needed a way to keep their dancer form. Gaining popularity in the ’90s, Pilates is now used as a low-impact exercise that builds strength, tones the muscles and creates a long, lean body frame. Who does mat Pilates work for? While Pilates exercises are no longer limited to just hospital patients, it remains true that this exercise is an option for those who are recovering from an injury but still want a low-impact exercise their body can handle. Even if you’re not taking Pilates for this reason, a mat class is perfect for those who want to try a toning class that is also gentle on the joints. Don’t be fooled, our mat Pilates class has very challenging and strenuous components. Without the spring loaded resistance of a machine, the movement is all up to you! Just as in yoga, you get out of a mat Pilates workout exactly what you put into it. I would equate it to holding your hand and making a fist versus making the tightest fist you’ve ever made in your life until your hand cramps. From another person’s viewpoint, both versions look the same. But internally, your body can feel the difference

Before you decide to totally take the weekend off from your movement practice, check out what researchers at the Mayo Clinic have to say about daily exercise: Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of a...ctivity is better than none at all. To reap the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key. Need an emotional lift? Or need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A gym session or brisk walk can help. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and less anxious. You may also feel better about your appearance and yourself when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Winded by grocery shopping or household chores? Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to tackle daily chores. Struggling to snooze? Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep faster, get better sleep and deepen your sleep. Just don't exercise too close to bedtime, or you may be too energized to go to sleep. Experiment when it comes to movement, try new things!

* SOUND ON * Have you seen our Pilates Jump Board Class listed on the schedule with Erin? I remember being resistant to trying Jump Board Class because it looked so intense and scary! And now, many moons later, it’s one of my favorite workouts ever. We have decided to offer an Intro to Pilates Jump Board taught by Certified Pilates Instructor Erin. Interested in learning the basics and experiencing a challenging Pilates workout with fun cardio added? Give it a try These Pi...lates Jump Board Classes are now offered: Monday 5:15 PM Thursday 5:30 PM Friday 9:45 AM Register for this class on our website. Space is limited, 4 students only per class and they are filling up quickly so grab your spot ASAP! On top of burning mega calories, using the jumpboard is a great abdominal workout. Most people think the heavier the spring, the harder the exercise. That’s sometimes false, depending on the exercise. For a Pilates Jump Board class, the heavier the spring, the more it works your legs. The lighter the spring, the more your abs will be working. Your abdominals need to work overtime on a lighter spring setting to keep your pelvis stabilized and your spine in neutral. But regardless of spring settings, your abs should pull in as you exhale with every jump #PilatesStudio #jumpboard #PilatesJumpBoard #Jump #JumpBoardPilates #PilatesArc #PilatesSideLyingWork #SidelineWork #PilatesReformer #PilatesReformerVariations #PilatesReformerClass #PilatesClass #Saturday #SaturdayMorning #GaragePilates #AbdominalWork #PilatesAbdominalWork #Abs #AbWork #Exercise #OrangeCounty #PilatesMom #PilatesLife #PilatesOfIG #pilatesinstructor

Yelp. Google. Facebook. Wherever else you gather info... Please consider it our Christmas wish for you to leave us a review this holiday season. THANK YOU

Just hanging around this holiday season? Maybe you’ve got a close buddy or family member whom you like to work out with? Why not schedule a semi-private session with us? We also refer to this as a duet. You may or may not dangle from the @balanced_body Trapeze Table like Kristin and Erin are in this photo taken by the amazingly talented @nolafontanezphotography . A duet or semi-private lesson focuses on you and your partner, our expert Certified Instructor gives you both ind...ividual attention and creates a work out specifically for your needs and goals. But it doesn’t stop there! Not only do we craft an in-studio work out uniquely for you but we also give you homework. Because who doesn’t love homework? Wait, maybe not ask the middle schoolers that question Regardless, we give you homework! And it comes from our free Garage Pilates YouTube channel. We recognize that coming in the studio everyday is not an option for everyone. But movement everyday is! Which is why we are consistently feeding free content and solid workouts into our YouTube channel, we want you to be able to continue your yoga and Pilates practice from the convenience of your own home. Interested in booking a duet or semi-private lesson?

Group Reformer Class Taught by Kristin, Lesli & Erin @pilatesbykristin @leslijpilates @foundation.pilates Pilates is a precise workout method requiring constant supervision and cueing from a knowledgeable instructor. For this reason, we keep our Group Reformer Classes small: 4 to a class, so our expert Certified Pilates Instructors can give individualized, personal attention to each student. Pilates is a repertoire, a practice, a workout method that progresses with e...ach class you attend. The results and growth are measurable and noticeable. #boutiquestudio #PilatesStudio #GaragePilates #ThePilatesMethod #PilatesPractice #PracticePilates #PilatesIsPrecise #PilatesClass #PilatesReformer #PilatesApparatus #PilatesChair #PilatesReformerClass #GroupReformerClass #PilatesInstructor #longbeach #rossmoor #losalamitos #certifiedpilatesinstructor

Who is joining me for Jackie’s GPYP class at 12:10pm today? Every Thursday Jackie now teaches this half yoga/half Pilates class midday. We chose this particular time due to the new hybrid school schedule for Los Alamitos... 12:10pm allows for high school students who attended cohort A in the morning to come and join us for their daily movement practice and it also allows those parents who have students in cohort B to drop off at school and still make it in time for their own ...workout and if you are still wondering What is GPYP class? Here’s your answer: Exclusively at Garage Pilates, we offer a class incorporating our favorite components of both Pilates and Yoga. Through a series of floor exercises using resistance bands, weights and rings, the workout helps build, sculpt and tone these muscles, giving your body a long, lean look. Our GPYP class can aid in flexibility and improving posture, as stretching your body is a vital part of class. Other physical benefits of GPYP include: * increased flexibility * increased muscle strength and tone> since we take our muscles to their longest point and then begin toning, the result is a long/lean look rather than bulk *this seems to be one of the popular benefits of GP clients* * improved respiration, energy and vitality * maintaining a balanced metabolism * weight reduction * cardio and circulatory health * improved athletic performance * protection from injury #pilatesismyhappyhour #Yoga #GPYPClass #LosAlamitos #rossmoor #sealbeach #fitmom #pilatesmom #yogamom #california #orangecounty #orangecountyyoga

New class alert! Have you seen our Pilates Jump Board Class listed on the schedule? We received feedback that a few of you were hesitant to try it as it looked a little intimidating. I remember being resistant to trying Jump Board Class because it looked so intense and scary! And now, many moons later, it’s one of my favorite workouts ever. We have decided to offer an Intro to Pilates Jump Board taught by Certified Pilates Instructor Erin @foundation.pilates Interested in le...arning the basics and experiencing a challenging Pilates workout with fun cardio added?

Space is limited, 4 students only per class and they are filling up quickly so grab your spot ASAP! On top of burning mega calories, using the jumpboard is a great abdominal workout. Most people think the heavier the spring, the harder the exercise. That’s sometimes false, depending on the exercise. For a Pilates Jump Board class, the heavier the spring, the more it works your legs. The lighter the spring, the more your abs will be working. Your abdominals need to work overtime on a lighter spring setting to keep your pelvis stabilized and your spine in neutral.

So many of you have asked, we felt the answer is post-worthy. YES, your high school student is welcome to register for a Pilates or yoga class. 2020 has thrown us some curveballs and the school schedule is definitely different this year. PE and sports may or may not be happening for your student. But our need to move is still HUGE. Movement is a fundamental aspect of our lives. Movement is more than just ‘exercise’ and does not necessarily require major exertion and massive ...amounts of effort, though it does require action. Movement affects everything, from circulation to digestion to cell turn over to lymphatic drainage to metabolism to immunity. With movement, our bodies regulate hormone activity and blood sugar, detoxify and breathe. Any movement, no matter how big or small, is beneficial to your body and psyche. It’s no surprise that sitting many hours in a row at the computer for school followed by many more hours of sitting to complete their homework is not good for your student’s spinal alignment and development. As grateful as we are to be learning once again and interacting socially, we cannot neglect our physical bodies. We are meant to move! Have questions as to which class your student would most benefit from? Send us a DM. #weareinthistogether #losalamitoshighschool #lahs #losalamitos #LongBeach #GardenGrove #Rossmoor #SealBeach #Cypress #HighSchool #highschoolstudent

The idea for GPYP class was to mesh the benefits of Mat Pilates and yoga into a single class. Thus, GPYP is an acronym for Garage Pilates Yoga Pilates. The format deviates from Classical Mat work and straight Vinyasa flows by adding light weights, resistance bands, magic circles, foam rollers, balls and other cool props. Clients are offered fun and creative ways to access their core, build the relationship between the abs & spine, challenge their flexibility, and increase the...ir ability to manage their own body weight in space by stretching into precarious poses. Have I piqued your curiosity by using the word precarious? Think: stretch sculpt burn lengthen strengthen tone balance resistance FUN Come give it a try!

Kristin is teaching Pilates Mat Class Tuesday 10am beginning this week You’re in for a workout that tones, strengthens, burns fat and boosts mental health. What is Mat Pilates? While it seems the fitness society only started talking about Pilates as a form of exercise a few years ago, the workout has actually been around much longer than we think. Joseph Pilates developed the exercise in the 1920s as a way for bedridden hospital patients injured during WWI to keep up their... strength. After opening his first Pilates studio near the New York City Ballet, he ended up using his practice to help recover injured ballerinas who needed a way to keep their dancer form. Gaining popularity in the ’90s, Pilates is now used as a low-impact exercise that builds strength, tones the muscles and creates a long, lean body frame. Who does Mat Pilates work for? While Pilates exercises are no longer limited to just hospital patients, it remains true that this exercise is an option for those who are recovering from an injury but still want a low-impact exercise their body can handle. Even if you’re not taking Pilates for this reason, a mat class is perfect for those who want to try a toning class that is also gentle on the joints. Don’t be fooled, our Mat Pilates class has very challenging and strenuous components. Without the spring loaded resistance of a machine, the movement is all up to you! Just as in yoga, you get out of a Mat Pilates workout exactly what you put into it. I would equate it to holding your hand and making a fist versus making the tightest fist you’ve ever made in your life until your hand cramps. From another person’s viewpoint, both versions look the same. But internally, your body can feel the difference #losalamitos #pilatesmatwork #pilates #matpilates #matpilatesclass #pilatesmatclass
