Hi Beauties!

Today I’m leading you through a 15-minute Pilates workout utilizes light weights to build strength and improve muscle tone.

Weights are totally optional – feel free to improvise by using water bottles or cans of soup if you don’t have weights at home!

For our Mindfulness Assignment, we’ll be focusing on stopping the runaway train of negative thoughts that is getting in the way of your ability to make progress. Watch the video to the very end – this one small change has the power to change your life.

Hi Beauties!

After 4 days of hard work, today’s 15-minute Pilates routine is designed to help you stretch & relax.

Doesn’t that sound delightful?

I’ll lead you through tension-busting stretches and simple exercises to improve flexibility, release stress, and increase blood flow.

You’ll end this workout feeling refreshed, renewed, and ready to take on the day!

Today’s mindfulness assignment is one of my favorites!

Keep up the great work!

I have always felt that Pilates has empowered me both physically and mentally and I hope to transmit that to my clients and students. It doesn't have to be all depth all the time and a session should obviously not be psychoanalysis, but the truth is that sometimes, a session may lead to a heart-to-heart conversation that brings up important questions about our lives and practice.

Hi Beauties!

In today’s 15-minute Pilates routine, you’ll strengthen and sculpt the muscles of your core to tone and shape your waistline.

You’ll work the muscles of your core with a special focus on the obliques (ab muscles that run along the side of your waist) to create a strong, sleek and balanced body.

Your Mindfulness Assignment for today is pretty straight-forward, but be sure to watch the video as I’ll go into more detail at the end of today’s workout.

Keep up the great work! You’re getting stronger and healthier by the day!

Hi Beauties!

Ready for your workout?

We all know that meditation is good for us – but it’s not easy!

Did you know that since Pilates is considered a form of mind-body exercise, you can actually reap the benefits of meditation WHILE doing your workout? Pretty cool, right?

I can’t wait to hear how it goes!

In today’s 15-minute Pilates workout, you’ll focus on your body, movement, and breath to experience the benefits of meditation in addition to the benefits of exercise.

For many of us, it’s hard to focus when our bodies aren’t moving – so this routine is designed to be a moving meditation to clear your mind and refresh your spirit, while also moving and strengthening the body.

I’m pretty passionate about today’s Mindfulness Assignment. Be sure to watch today’s video through to the very end for more details on what it means to “create pockets of silence” in your day.

Keep up the great work!
