25.01.2022 Activate to anchor......then anchor to elongate. #contactpoints #push #directionalpull #slings

24.01.2022 The goal was to achieve pull ups from a loose hang position, controlled and without momentum - it was an ISOgoal I set myself in Lockdown2 that went a little astray. . Back to building grip and hang strength afresh. Scapular shrugs, lengthened eccentric phase and some small leg pull ups to distract. .... It’s a reminder of how quickly the body de-conditions but also of it’s incredible ability to respond to patterns and stimuli already experienced. . For many it’s been a long time since they last took a studio class..... HANG in there, as soon as we can get started it will all come back! #pullups #challenge #trysomethingnew

24.01.2022 The driving force for these iso months has been to stay physically strong. An exercise whilst teaching class today had reminded me of a training technique I’d long forgotten. . This is Iron Ring (Hung Gar) strength training in horse stance. It was well over 7years ago that I last trained with these sliding, weighty, endurance testers.... I’m improvising here with circular patterns. . It’s such a great way to load and challenge the rotator cuff and shoulder complex whilst setting your quads on fire. The sliding and crashing of the rings against one another stimulates the need to hold strong and to control. Heavy breathing and face pulling through the burn #mixingitup #shoulderstrength #feeltheburn

24.01.2022 No Pilates or Garuda today..... When things get monotonous it is said it’s good to try something new. Shocking the neurotransmitters is a way to move forward from stagnation both physically, mentally and emotionally. ... #comfortzone #perspectives #possibilities

21.01.2022 Enhancing breath, shifting tightness, moving tired energy....Garuda is like an elixir #thegarudamethod #mobilising #energy

20.01.2022 Pilates lovers, can you please help out and sign. So very important for physical and mental health. Our studios can adjust and ensure that client safety is prioritised.

20.01.2022 Side Lie Leg Work - a series that challenges side support strength for faster movements whilst strengthening hip rotation and ranges. #pilatessidelying #sidesupport #sideseries

20.01.2022 The moment one is seduced by the desire to be somewhere other than where one is & do something different to what one is doing, is the moment when the relationship to spirit is lost. I Ching . Some Taoist Wisdom that made me think about stillness within movement and movement within stillness and the vast in between. #movementismeditation #movefromjoy #dailypractise

18.01.2022 Term is coming to a close soon. Anybody wanting to make up a missed class? Thursday 7:15pm - one spot this week Monday 6:15am - one spot next week

DM to secure a position in the new studio ASAP. *Masks are mandatory at present and guidelines advise for clients to byo equipment - mats, towels, MC’s, therabands etc. ... Can’t wait to see you face to face

17.01.2022 Monkey leg series - how to load your Garuda workout with a small monkey child. #compression #unpredictable #entertaining

16.01.2022 Today I realised that we’ve been online for 20 weeks. Transition, frustration, discovery, overcoming and a bucket load of learning. Incredibly grateful for all of you that have continued to tune in each week and inspired by your continued commitment to yourselves. #virtualpilates #virtualgarudaclass #onlinefornow #20weeks

14.01.2022 Stomach massage. It can be a love hate relationship. When the tension mounts there is only one thing to do, release into it. Move the focus inwardly, work with breath, lift the internal organs and find space. #pilatesstomachmassage #strongcore #findingspace

13.01.2022 Spinal waves at the end of a busy week. Why not! In pyramid position the reformer provides all at once excellent leverage, anchor points and challenge. #pilateselephant #spinalmobility #pilatesreformer

12.01.2022 Holding on for as long as possible Side work with a monkey on your back #isoworkout #killingtime #sideplank

12.01.2022 Black Swan - Happy Birthday Uncle Kevin Azzopardi!! Lockdown celebratory Swan Lake spoof - for you!

11.01.2022 Movement is our prayer, our eternal prayer . . - James D’Silva ... #garudaonreformer #garudamethod #mindfulness

10.01.2022 Some post teaching fun. Handstand 10-2 clocks. Not only challenging shoulder strength, core and rotation.... But how to depart from the exploration? Sometimes it’s worth thinking that through ... #handstand #clocks #trysomethingnew #shoulderstrength

10.01.2022 Exploring dynamic and static adductor stretching with upper body circles. . The torso circles highlight specific tightnesses and whilst repeating assist to release. . Continuously rolling like the triplets in the Moonlight Sonata. ... #dynamicstretching #staticstretching #bodycircles

09.01.2022 Standing knee stretch and extended plank positions...just a 1/2 spring. . The challenge is not to hold on for dear life, but to find ways to extend, expand and continually find internal space. . 5 more days and I have two more of these machines. ... Looking forward to the start up of small group reformer @carolyndiazpilates #pilatesreformer #specialised #personalised

09.01.2022 The silver lining to these global lockdowns has been the opportunity to participate in workshops and classes with teachers world wide. But I have to say today’s news brings us very close to full studio opening......and I cannot wait to push those screens back and get the mats back down on the floor!

09.01.2022 Exercise mindfully. Intention, attention and awareness have to be brought into every movement to achieve optimum results James D’Silva - The Garuda Method #mindfulnesspractice #bodyawareness #mindbodyconnection #flow

08.01.2022 I’ll admit it has been tougher to transmit through the screen. As a teacher that relies heavily on tactile guidance, at times it’s felt futile. But then, as life would have it, you experience one of those exquisite moments when you see a new connection ignite in a student. It’s a simultaneous sense of deep satisfaction for all. . These pot of gold moments are the heart of teaching no matter the delivery. We’ll keep going for now. ... . #onlineteaching #pilatesonline #transmute

08.01.2022 Opening up the rib cage, opening up the intercostals, mobilising the spine and increasing the capacity to breath. #ribcagebreathing #diaphragm #breathwell

08.01.2022 He’s excited for tomorrow’s first in studio reformer class but not as much as I am!

07.01.2022 Knowing where centre is, ensured of it’s potential strength and it’s relative necessity to shift, we can extend beyond #dynamiccore #contactpoints #pilatessidelift #extend

06.01.2022 Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication Leornardo da Vinci #glutestretch #basic #effective

06.01.2022 Holiday classes this week Tomorrow: Pilates 10am Saturday: Garuda 9am Pilates 10:30am @ Stiggant’s Stage

05.01.2022 Reformer standing lunges. A formidable test of balance with some good eccentric quad loading. I’ve missed this reformer goodness! #lunges #eccentricquads #pilatesreformer #hipflexorlengthening

04.01.2022 It’s foundational and it’s strong. But the spinal articulation incorporated frees the feeling of stuckedness. The compressive held postures are just an element of the continual flow. Garuda Graha (brick) #garudapilates #pike #tabletop #flow

03.01.2022 One more week and studio will be open! . Very much looking forward to working with you all again. Let’s smash those movement goals! #movmentiseverything #optimalhealth #2021

02.01.2022 Some Garuda Graha goodness. When every breath and every impulse to move is the guiding force towards movement quality. #thegarudamethod #presenceinmotion #breath

02.01.2022 A dear friend of mine reminded me in a moment of ISO wobble, to go back to my dojo and get back into my centre. Back to a mat classic - Boomerang. Strong and challenging. It only works if you know when to hold, how to soften to shift to the next element of the movement phrase and when to release. Invaluable advice in such time of uncertainty. Keep returning to your centre. ... @kianmariachi #centre #breath #coreworkout #pilatesboomerang

02.01.2022 Reformer long box progressions towards the teaser. There are so many break downs that assist in developing the control for such an exercise. But the intention here is to take away as much of the compressive forces possible and to inspire elongation. #reformelove #reformerlongbox #reformerteaser

01.01.2022 Hip and spinal mobility. An overlay of movements drawn from The Garuda Method and contemporary dance technique classes. Exploring the interrelationship between the pelvis and the spine, possibilities of movement range and how this extends into rhythmic and continuous flow. #hipmobility #spinalmobility #rangeofmovement #movementpatterns

01.01.2022 Reformer Long Box Arms. Strengthening the shoulder girdle and back extensors with full circular and spiral movement patterns. A nice little challenge for core support too. #pilatesreformerlongbox #spiralmovement #mobilise #backstrength #shoulderstrength

01.01.2022 Try something new she said! Attempting to make hang strength fun Happy Friday all #newtoy #gymnastrings #hangstrength
