Today Pilates

One of the beautiful things about Pilates is there is always more. More "juice" to squeeze out of an exercise. Mr. Pilates wasn't about "going through the motions". He wanted you to execute the exercise precisely as the muscles were designed to move - fully body, full breath.

So sometimes, there is a little "teaching" moment before ex*****on so that a client who has probably done 1000's of the hundred still finds deeper work and challenge. Ah, he is connected head to toe - look at that! Transformation happening with each breath.

Pilates exercises definitely have a "look" or a "shape" to them that is distinct. However, when we teach, we aren't looking for a look or a shape, we are searching and seeking for whole body engagement with balanced use of all the muscles (as we are designed). So we can use touch - see Robert's hand encouraging his client for use the muscles their differently for better movement and muscular balance. See me using a snap of my fingers to help this client find the muscular "firing" to roll up smoothly.

No going through the motions. No just "looking" like it's right...we are looking to make YOU more balanced and move more efficiently.
