A little something for your sit. who’s sitting a lot i so long to push and pull the bodies in front of me and maybe sneak in a few exercises for me. right? as you can see, i do this FIRST thing, it’s as important as ... i’ve learned that if i take a minute and set up my sitting and take breaks, everything will be ok 1. press your feet and anchor your seat (the same way you’d sit on your wunda) 2. your palm is evenly waited- esp that pinky>lats>waist>oh hello seat! 2. keep the ring parallel to the floor the entire time. so check yourself 3. only squeeze enough to feel width in your chest: open, tall, +lift. 4. continue to work the width of your elbows just like you would in shaving. i hope this helps + happy Friday

happy friday a sweet reminder from my fi girl: never take yourself too seriously and always enjoy your pilates

instructors! i have an open studio class just for you. starting this monday at 3pm CA time. after school you’ve heard me rave and praise these classes to the moon and back right? you get to do you but w/ an extra set of eyes on your body ... working in this way offers you sooooo much. more moving =more learning https://schedulewithritual.as.me/?appointmentType=11299282

happy friday! friday is my day off teaching pilates and my day for some serious taking pilates. today i wanted to work on: spine corrector... graduating to biiiiig leg springs one-armed swan (@leahdwin) standing arm series and i did! because i only take open studio style classes. my private sessions have always worked this way and i was hooked immediately. but isn’t it so nice to see some extra familiar faces and in an online class setting? thank you @westwood_pilates for making friday’s work so inspiring and connecting us all.

it’s hot i just drank 10 big glasses of water after today’s reformer. some things keeping me going today: this magic circle exercise seeing #obama tonight (miss him so!), and the fact that fiona got up on her board this morning keep discovering, keep wringing it alllllll out!

fiona is at surf camp so i get to be here extra try this on your next zoom break

just move everyday The whole advanced series took me about 30 minutes today. The key is to keep moving, no rushing, just consistently move. I am not one to skip out on cocktails or dessert EVER, so no skipping out on these yummy things either #ritualpilatessandiego #twowaystretch #gratz

arm springs tis the season to be crazy busy so i thought i’d make a short video to say it all. i went up to @strongbodiespilates last week for a private w/ jay grimes I have so much to share about this one hour with him. it was my first time using the @balancedbody contrology reformer mind blowing and All I want for Christmas are those springs!!! ... keeping a light grip and centering my hand completely changed every exercise. powerful teaching See more

control balance almost, right? not quite, though. this is going to look way different at the end of august- post mat intensive. one of the perks of teaching a mat intensive is doing it myself all 34 every day of august! i’m so so so excited to see the improvements for those who are signed up. i’m all full for this round but i will offer it again before the year is over. ... #ritualpilatessandiego #ilovethematwork See more

toe corrector hack no toe corrector, no problem. this also teaches you how you should be using your mat strap. #ritualpilatessandiego #ilovethematwork

mini workshops I love a little chat followed by a lot of work I enjoyed every minute lovely space + lovely people! thank you so very much @studio_reform_pilates and looking forward to more ... @love.yesplease #ritualpilatessandiego See more

the wall + standing arms i love when clients ask for homework! this is my favorite homework to dole out. the standing arm series against the wall: biceps, 45 degree biceps, bug, and side bend. that side bend stretch will usually be the driving exercise. ahhhh ... all they need is a wall and the 4 exercises pack a lot in. doing this independently lets them FEEL lots. teaching a feeling is always best See more
