MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY A heart of gold and a drive to work hard, Laura walked into my studio a few years ago and on her first session got sick 25 minutes into the workout. Completely unintentionally on my part! I thought I lost my opportunity to work with her forever, but at the end of the session she said Well clearly I need to do this again. Since then she has pushed the boundaries and challenged herself in every session! She has challenged me to be more creative and more ...complex! We all start somewhere and every journey is it’s own, but be motivated by @look_itslaura that you can be stronger, reduce pain, feel more confident, get healthier no matter your starting point! #motivation #motivationmonday #trx #piates #trxtraining #trxvideos #trxworkout #pilatesreformer #fitnessjourney #fit #fitnessmotivation #goals #workoutinspo #challengeyourself #virtualtrainer #virtualworkout #fitnessanywhere #inspirationpassionfulfillment

Food for thought: If a client is very ill or even just sees a doctor regularly- they have about 2hrs/YEAR total time WITH the doctor, in which most people had to wait 2-3months for the visit from time of scheduling. On the other hand trainers like myself, get to see those individuals 2x/week for a total of 75-100hrs/YEAR. That makes us a front line provider whether we want to be or not. We can notice subtle changes and enact subtle changes! Keep educating yourself and rise t...o the occasion to make a true difference to the health and wellness of the people you work with! #pilatesgeek #pilates #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong #pilatesgirl #movementismedicine #pilatesinspiration #ilovepilates #pilatesreformer #reformer #fitness #healthylifestyle #healingwithpilates #injuryprevention #injuryrehab #brainhealth #braintraining #mentalhealth #trainsmart #fitnesstrainer #pilatesinstructor #injuryrecovery #MPS #sanjose #centralcore #pismobeach #inspirationpassionfulfillment See more

It's Wisdom Wednesday, and want to say thanks to everyone who filled out the survey for next year's Weekend Wellness Retreats based at Central Core in Pismo Beach!

BOUNCE! Why? I can give you lots of reasons! But first it is both World Oesteoperosis Day and also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Bone loss effects us all, but impacts those that have gone through chemo so much more Based on a study done @danafarber and Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in Boston, in just ONE year 35 women treated with chemotherapy had a decrease in bone density of 7% at the spine and 4% at the hip compared with the 1-2% a year with normal menopause. Pilates Jum...pboard is a great way to increase bone density with resistance plyometrics without heavy body impact! It helps the lymphatic system, increase muscle mass, and supports joint health, to name a few! Why do you love the Jumpboard? What exercise do you do to increase bone density? #osteoporosis #bonehealth #bonedensity #strongbones #breastcancerawareness #cancer #chemotherapy #reformer #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer #jumpboard #jump #plyometrics #exercise #exercisemotivation #stayfit #centralcore #pismobeach #slocal #805living #inspirationpassionfulfillment @calvinharris

Has the fear of falling affected your enjoyment of daily activities or put limits on your mobility? Do you have vertigo episodes that have you reeling? Our new Neuro Workshop, Mon. Oct 26 at 6:30 pm, addresses these issues and more. In this live workshop, you'll learn three target areas to help you get to the root of the issue. Physical changes and health conditions and sometimes the medications used to treat those conditions make falls more likely. Learn a brain-based approach to keep you safe and in balance. If you can't make the workshop live, don't worry! When you register, you'll receive the video replay. Also, in our Neuro workshops, Misha is the only person on the webinar, so these sessions are completely private. To register: https://www.facebook.com/events/700435880561501

As we celebrate Global Cat Day, here's a quiz. What do our feline friends and Joseph Pilates have in common? Answer: A flexible spine! The founder of Pilates shared this wisdom: You're only as old as your spine. If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young. Cats are so agile because their spine is able to rotate more than most other animals, and their vertebrae have a special, flexible, elastic cushioning on the disks, which gives it even more flexibility. A flexible spine is also why cats can run so fast (nearly 30 mph!) and be so graceful. While we don't have the anatomy of our cats, we can definitely use them as inspiration and develop more flexibility in our spine with thoughtful exercise like Pilates. What's your favorite cat-inspired movement?
