Somatic Pilates

This is Leo, he is the foster kitten Studio Mascot. He LOVES all things Pilates and you will most often see him on the edge of your screen curled up inside the magic circle watching us Play Pilates on Zoom. He likes to bring his toys downstairs to the studio so he can play with his toys while we play with ours. . . . .... . #pilates #kittens_of_instagram #toocute #pilatesandpets #kittens See more

I have Giant Balls!! I’ve been teaching my virtual sessions with tiny balls, circles, resistance bands, foam rollers, towels, soup cans and even a kitchen chair. Today I decided to play with my new @getpivo software so I rolled up my favorite seat in the house to show how easy it is to squeeze in some flexion, extension and lateral side movements into your day. If you’re like me and you enjoy sitting on your GIANT BALL, try out these fun variations to add new planes of moti...on into your day to day while you #workfromhome SOOOO FUN!! And ohhh the stretches you can do on this thing! . . . . #pilates #pilatesfromhome #moveyourbody #movebetter #fitball #pilatesball #abs #swissball See more

Bucket-List dream comes true! Attention all Movement Professionals and Anatomy Geeks! This live tissue cadaver dissection has been on my bucket list for years but it is normally in person only, way out of my budget and hosted on the other side of the country. Thanks to the Quarantine it is being offered for the first time virtually this weekend and at a very affordable rate! Unlike with preserved cadavers, live tissue dissection allows you to view fascia and all of the muscul...ar connections in their natural hydrated states. It will change the way you view the body and soft tissue connections. Instead of using the scalpel to cut the muscles in accordance to our Anatomy books, you get to use the back of the scalpel to gently separate the muscles and explore the connections and observe how all soft tissues relate to each other, including fascia which would normally be dried up and indiscernible. If you’re curious, @anatomytrainsofficial and Thomas Myers has videos on YouTube of some of this stuff, but OMG! This is going to be EPIC! . . . . #pilates #anatomy #cadaver #dissection #thomasmyers #anatomytrains #bucketlist #hellyeah

Happy Pilates Day!! Here's is 30 minute video to get you moving, open up your chest and hips and get your spine moving as well. Lots of stretches to open you up and get you moving.

I’m still pretty awkward teaching to a camera, but now that we’re all sheltering at home I wanted to get some movement videos out to you and get you moving and stretching and feeling good in your body. Grab your roller and join me for some movement, exercise and gentle stretches!

The How’s and Why’s of a daily Tick-Tock practice (no it’s not the TikTok app lol) Do this exercise with me as you watch, you’ll feel the magic happening as I tell you all about the amazing benefits!
