Why should you try Pilates for back pain where there are so many other exercises and therapies out there? If you have a standing chiropractor or massage appointment to relieve your back pain, perhaps you should look at addressing the cause of the pain, not the symptom. It is common to feel like you need […]
If the one minute plank is getting stale, or if it is too difficult for you right now, it might be time to try some standard plank variations. When I first discovered planks, I was an aerobics instructor. I thought I was pretty fit, but dang it was hard to hold the proper position for […]

Had surgery and been okayed to move on from physical therapy to Pilates. Regular headaches or migraines. Been advised by a medical professional […]
Sometimes, life can feel really difficult. Usually, it is when things are not living up to our expectations of how we want them to go, or how we think it should be. In times like these, it is helpful to take a new approach. Approach the Problem Differently I had a very good laugh at […]
How the heck are you doing? Has life thrown you for a loop these past 4 months? Life has forced us all to make sudden, huge changes – whether we wanted to or not. It can be easy to just “keep on keeping on,” but the truth is that this has been a traumatic time […]
Are you waiting to love your life? Are you waiting for a raise, more time, tomorrow to arrive, or a “sign”? I hope not, because sometimes the thing that prompts you to finally take action is a tragedy. I am not trying to be dramatic – in fact, quite the opposite! I want to share […]
Sometimes, a topic seems to keep appearing in my life – demanding attention. Today, it was the idea of progress over perfection. I was listening to a podcast today, and the guest speaker was sharing how he had always been hard on himself. He always seemed to think that he didn’t know enough, or wasn’t […]
I didn’t start out thinking that I was going to be a runner, and in fact swore that I would never run a half marathon! Then I found my people. And here I am, ten years later, still lacing up my sneakers and training for marathons. The amount of time I have spent running outdoors […]
Building body strength matters because our muscles support every movement we make, every moment of the day – and without attention, we may be missing key muscle groups. Pilates is specially designed to train your body to move as it is intended to do; with controlled, aligned movement via strength and flexibility training. When a […]
As gyms, studios, and other service providers are slowly opening up, it is okay to feel “new” to the world again. We have all been through a lot, and have our own reasons and apprehensions about rejoining the world. For each of us, that is going to look different, and that is okay. Some people […]
Have you ever noticed how kids run everywhere? It seems that as soon as a baby learns to walk, they want to RUN. Then, unless sports make you run, we seem to slow down in our teen years; and I certainly don’t know any adults that run no matter where they go or what they […]
This morning, I went for a run with my friend, who is just as dedicated to fitness as I am. We got to talking about the different fitness competitions that we had each trained for in the past. Now, even during Covid19 and staying home, we work out to feel good. During our younger “competition […]
I have always tried to bring people together through physical movement. I love fitness so much, I want other people to enjoy it just as much as I do! Now, I’m not crazy, and I get that not everyone is going to feel the same way. I’ve come to realize that, even more than just […]
I am feeling rather disappointed in myself right now, because I have realized that I’ve done a disservice to you all – and myself. How so? I’ve been talking about Pilates in a way that I ASSUMED others will respond to, rather than speaking my true opinions and experience. I have been holding back, and […]
Taking care of our minds and bodies is such an essential part of life, and one that was hard even before Covid-19 exploded here two months ago. It has taken me awhile to figure out how to redefine my fitness and self care in quarantine, but I am getting there. I am trying to be […]
