    By using the SmartSpine prop made by Marie Jose Blom, you will be able to experiment with exercises in new ways that you never thought possible.

  • Mat Leg Circles

    Mat Leg Circles is a very important part of the Pilates repertoire. This exercise teaches so many beautiful skills for the clients to master such as lumbo/pelvic stability as well as differentiation of movement between the leg and the pelvis. The goal of the exercise is not that you complete the circles in their prescribed […]…

  • Wall Squats

    The wall is such a great tool to explore the Pilates repertoire. I love to think about it like an upright Reformer, finding all the cues and movements that we find lying down on the carriage. This is the perfect place to work on the Pilates principles in the upright position. Also, wall squats are […]…

Unfortunately we often see this exercise done with […]…

The general perception is that the mind controls our body, but it’s more of a perfect marriage where each […]…

  • Feet in Straps Frog

    The Frog with feet in straps is a classic exercise. It can be done on the Reformer as well as the Cadillac and the mat with a theraband. This exercise is meant to strengthen the midline of the body by using a bent and extended leg. A neutral pelvis is key here. You don’t want […]…
