25.01.2022 Juanita Lopez, is one of the few Romanas Pilates Grand Master teachers. Today she delivered a workshop on Joes Mat hosted by Park Cities Pilates in Dallas, which was superbly inspiring. ________________________________ -... - - - -#romanaspilates #joesmat #parkcitiespilates #boomerang #pilatesinspiration #juanitalopez #grandmasterromanaspilates See more

25.01.2022 WRITE THIS ONE DOWN and tune into a legit conversation with Martin Reid @personalvictory on his brand spanking new podcast launch, The Core Conversations Podcast. Find it on SPOTIFY or ITUNES. If youre keen to watch the interview, find it YouTube. When Martin asked me to join him for a chat a few months ago, I had no idea that I would speak with so much vulnerability, courage and honesty. I leaned into the discomfort, spoke from my heart and trusted in him and in my truth. This completely unplanned interview allowed me to drop the rock I didnt even realise Id been carrying and in turn gifted me freedom.

23.01.2022 MORE PLACES TO SPOT A MOTHER TUCKER.....as a follow up from my recent IGTV, rowing 1 is another exercise to watch for those mother tucking urges. When we tuck, the hips remain locked and it’s impossible to get the range of movement this exercise wants us to benefit from. Deviating from our default patterns of movements is in my opinion imperative for optimal efficiency in our body. - -... - #totuckornottotuckthatisthequestion #dontbeamothertucker #pilatesteachertips #pilatestips #donttuck #rowing1 #rowingtipspilates #pilatesrowingtips #thepilateseye #whatiseealot #mothertuckersbeware

23.01.2022 PILATES IS FOR YOU! Wondering if Pilates is for you? Concerned about whether it will be a workout for your entire body? Please wonder no more. Pilates side sit ups target the sides yes, but they also work the back, the gluteals, inner and outer thighs. In fact, Pilates doesnt just have your back, the system is for the entire body. Not just for the core. The Pilates Method will improve the quality of your life as you move through your day and will heighten your awareness i...n regards to posture, how you stand, walk and sit. Pilates will awaken your mind and body as well as allowing you to move with more ease, efficiency and comfort. Join in on one of the weekly scheduled virtual mat classes or take a private session to get you started. _____________________________________ - - - - - #spinecorrector #pilatessidebends #benefitsofpilates #pilatesbenefits #pilatesrant #pilateshasyourback

22.01.2022 This is Celia.....well me actually. Can you do me a favour? If you get something from my page, somebody else just might too. Id be awfully grateful if you SHARE THIS PAGE and spread the love. in advance. If you have been taught by me either in studio or online, be sure to check in and/or leave a review?

21.01.2022 And then BOOM My face says it ALL! For a little while the neck roll had been feeling funky in my lower back and rather uncomfortable. The happy dance at the end of this clip shows my gratitude and elation that I can now do this exercise again without feeling ANY compression in the lumbar spine. Thanks @msisonwright @inner_core_wellness I so love my private sessions with you! -... - - - - #theneckroll #andthenboom #pilatesmat #pilatestuition #alwayslearning #backextensiondoesnthavetofeelgnarly See more

21.01.2022 For the Mother Tuckers out there! Not sure if you ARE one? Take a look at this post to find out. We all have a little MT in us. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJS72U7AdEH/

21.01.2022 Ah, PUSH IT, push it real good! @russopilates was all for using the imagination during her virtual mat class this morning. Replicating the Push Thru on the Cadillac felt phenomenal. Such a fun class Carrie. XO ______________________________________ -... - - - - - - #pilatespushthru #ahpushit #pilatesimagination #russopilates #carrierusso See more

21.01.2022 EXPANDING THE KNOWLEDGE.....along with the CHEST! When you dive into the work and practice, theres so much the exercises reveal to us about our bodies and minds. Chest Expansion on this fine piece of @legacypilates apparatus doesnt look all that difficult, but just try it without moving the chair at all and get back to me. ______________________________________ -... - - - - #babychair #armchair #baby/armchair #babychaircheatexpansion #pilateschestexpansion See more

20.01.2022 The Sari works and lifts the entire body, but I especially love the way it works the feet and ankles unlike any of the other Pilates exercises seem to do. #thesari #pushthroughbar #pushthrubar #shoulderrolldown #pilatespushthrough #pilatescadillac #candythecadi #workyourfeet

20.01.2022 PILATES ROCKS Rocking on top of the spine corrector may feel way more accessible to you than it does on the mat. Once youre able position yourself on the sweet spot, maintaining balance and control, enjoy the chest and thigh stretch. Let me know how you compare this exercise here to doing it on the mat? Id love to know what you think. _____________________________________... #rocking #spinecorrector #pilatesrocks

18.01.2022 Small movements can reap BIG benefits.....Juanita Lopez The tiniest adjustments and corrections can make an immense difference to your Pilates practice. Tune into what your body needs as you work one side and then the other. #juanitalopez... #juanitalopezquote #mermaid #mermaidwundachair #pilatesmagic #wundachairwednesday #romanaspilates #wundachair See more

18.01.2022 Ooh, and it makes me Wunda..... When the imbalances are clearly highlighted, it becomes abundantly clear which the weaker side is. I heard Romana often say that if you didnt like an exercise, you should do it twice. So I guess, the left leg behind will have to cooperate with that plan. ___________________________________ #tendonstretch... #tendonstretchlegbehind #wundachairtendonstretch #wundachairwednesday See more

18.01.2022 HANDSTAND HOT TIP Whether you invert from a pike, straddle or kick up, focus on the hips lifting up and not the legs or feet. The pelvis is the heaviest point to bring into alignment. Massage the floor with your hands and push through the base of the thumbs and index fingers. Ok, so that was more than one tip wasnt it? DID YOU KNOW.....I offer private virtual classes for inversions as well as Pilates? Or, we can just do both in one session too. (Message me) Pilates practice... will give you the basis for a strong foundation for your inversion, as well as assist you with coordination, body awareness and alignment. ____________________________________ #handstand #learntohandstand #pikehandstand #virtualhandstandlesson #inversion #handstandtips #tipstohandstand

18.01.2022 AND NOW FOR HEADSTAND BACK.....this is a super advanced exercise which is certainly NOT for everybody. Done correctly, there is to be no pressure in the neck. Todays virtual private session with grandmaster teacher/trainer @cynthialochard_pilates challenged and encouraged me to keep digging deeper into my practice and my powerhouse. _____________________________________ -... - - # cynthialochardpilates #headstandback #superadvancedreformerexercise #headstandbackeformer See more

17.01.2022 SET UP GIVES THEM THE HEADS UP....... When teaching an exercise for the very first time, you want to get the client moving , yes.....whilst simultaneously building strong foundations for continued improved execution of that particular exercise. When learning the best alignment possible, the exercise then makes more sense to the client. Here, Yanna Raftopoulos learns the first exercise of the knee stretch series with a round back. Once again....another example of an exercise... where folks tend to tuck a lot, instead of initiating and executing from their c-curve! Guess what? The studio reopens and online private sessions resume for 2021 on the 4th of January. ________________________ - - - - - #kneestretchseriesround #dontbeamothertucker #setupgivesthemtheheadsup #pilatesreformer #pilatesnerd #romanaspilatesteacher #realpilatesforrealpeople #pilatesteachertips #reallifepilatestuition

15.01.2022 FROGS IN THE AIR....like you just dont care! This advanced progression from short spine massage can be tricky to find the correct positioning for. The beginning of the leg extension must begin from the gluteus medius and minimus without any tucking to ensure no over stretching of the si joint or lower back. ________________________________... - - - - - #frogsintheair #shortspinemassage #advancedreformer #reformerpractice #pilatestips #pilatesfrogs

12.01.2022 As a follow up from yesterdays post, here Celia & Steve demonstrate the difference between squeezing the shoulder blades, as opposed to opening the shoulders. Think Once the shoulders are in proper alignment, the shoulder girdle will engage and the expansion of the chest is felt from near the front of the shoulder. This is a game changer when executing this exercise. _____________________________________... - - - - - - #bodymap #chestexpansion #posturetips #pilatestips #chestexpansionreformer #reformyourshoulders #chestopener #posturalease

08.01.2022 LONG BACK STRETCH is a workout for the entire body and finally after plenty of practice, today during my lesson with @cynthialochard_pilates this exercise felt freeing and it flowed. My entire body moved with smoothment and i didnt even grip my toes over the shoulder blocks. Some days are better than others in regards to my Pilates practice, as in life of course. Today, I can honestly say that executing the #longbackstretch felt empowering and effortless. But tomorrow it ...may well not.....so for now I am proud of myself and grateful for what my body achieved. *Love to hear which exercise brings you joy when it all comes together for you? ____________________________________ - - - - - - #advancedreformer#reformyourself#pilatesjoy#nevergiveup #smoothment

02.01.2022 Dont just SHOULDER on.....meet Steve Jones, my hubby. He is a movement specialist extraordinaire, so due to the fact that us Victorians are still in lockdown I put him to good use yesterday and asked him to eyeball my chest expansion on the Ped-O-Pull. Rolling back the shoulders (imagining they are tennis externally rotating) really assists with the softening of the upper traps and gave my head turn way more range. The name of the exercise then truly took on its meaning... and my chest was able to open more. Hubby even built me this piece of apparatus thanks to a DIY how to on @pilatesology _____________________________________ - - - - - - #chestexpansion #pedopul #lettingthehubbyhelp #tweakyourpilatespractice #movementspecialist #pilatespedopul #diypedopul

02.01.2022 LETS TALK....about position of the head in knees off of the knee stretch series please? Here I place my head in 3 variations and wonder which way any of you teachers out there prefer to practice this exercise. Which way would you prefer to see me execute the exercise in this example and why. Love to hear you chime in! _____________________________________... #pilatesconversationstarter #letschatkneesoff #kneestretchseries #reformerrules #pilateschats

01.01.2022 Today is a day of reflection and honoring my pilates teacher. It has been 7 years since she has passed and so much has happened since then in the pilates commun...ity. Here is a link to a series of pictures of Romana when we were working together. http://www.pilates-studio-ny.com/do/new/Romana_Tribute1.htm I am also posting a short video of her talking to students where she shares just a little of her insight and wisdom of the method she spent a large part of her life teaching and bringing to the world. She says so much which is relevant to all teachers today. Teachers can still learn and become an amazing pilates teacher and equal to those who did without having to have studied directly with her, It's through those who share their experiences and the information that she imparted to her students and through the work she helped develop in her lifetime that they can . THE PILATES SOURCE will continue to share and promote your work and history in the pilates community. It is clear without it Joe's work would not have survived and so many thousands of teachers would not have the livelihood that they have today. Thank you Romana for all that you did and your dedication to Joe's work.

01.01.2022 VARIATION.... 1/ a change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level, typically within certain limits. 2/ a different or distinct form or version of something.... In order to give Hayley all of the sensory opportunities we can, variety is in order. The reverse 100 (as I call it) done here on the Cadillac using the strap to hold down the feet to stabilise her lower body, assists Hayley to focus solely on her arm and back connection. Hayley Galizi was born with Achondroplasia, hence the necessity to play and create variations to Joe’s work to suit her proportions. So proud of this gal and her determination and dedication to the method. See you back in the studio really soon Hayley. 2021 here we come! #Achondroplasia #dwarfismawareness #pilatesisforeverybody #everybodycandopilates #reverse100 #cadillac #pilatesarmsprings #dembonesdembones #pilatesvariations
