🌟 When Life Throws You a Curveball, Get Back Up, Dress Up, Show Up, and Never Give Up! 🌟

7️⃣ FitBall Exercises in action! 🏋️‍♀️ 

Life’s surprises can catch us off guard, but when you cultivate a practice of movement you can bounce back a little easier with inner core strength. 

I found having feedback and support while exercising is crucial to rebuilding my confidence post-double mastectomy. Anyone else relate? 🙋‍♀️ 

Find a wall and #FitBall and dive in! 💪💖

Let Me See You Use This Flow 💫 
 
Often we underestimate the power of simplicity. Dynamic planking requires the entire body to work in perfect harmony, a unity between strength & length and stabilizers & mobilizer’s without compensations #noteasybutworthit ♾️ ⁣

Breathing in a sense of balance…it’s an ache I seem to never outgrow ⚖️ 

I may be alone in this video, but I know I’m not alone in feeling overwhelmed and out of balance with the current events.

Where are you longing for the most support and balance right now—inside your fitness classes, studio, gym, VOD practice, or somewhere else?

Balance is not just physical. Which version are you trying ⤵️ like “more rest,” “boundaries,” or “connection.” I’d love to hear what you need more of.

We can be changed by what happens to us

Roots refine what matters most.
Practice makes you sore in the process. 🥵

26 years of instructing Pilates + barre—training instructors, moving bodies of every level, in studios, online, and through those old-school #Physique57DVD ‘s—I’m clear on one thing:

There is no magic choreography.
There is no magic method.
There is no magic move.

The magic is in what the instructor & movement makes you feel. 🪄

So I’m curious…

If you’ve ever taken a class with me—in person, online, or way back when—how did I make you feel?

Strong? Shaky? Seen? Challenged? Capable? Alive? Maybe something else entirely? 

Describe it below. I’d genuinely love to hear what stayed with you. ❤️

Still refining. Still listening. Still practicing. 

❤️ Shelly (just Y) ✌️

International Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💕 as many of you know, I was diagnosed three years ago and underwent treatment. I am doing well and continuing to feel stronger each day I show up. 

I want to send a little love to anyone who’s battled or is currently battling this tough disease 😔 
I see you fighting 💪 — keep it up. 
I hear your worries 💔 — share your stressors with someone you trust. 
I feel your anxiety 😢 — it’s okay to feel what you’re feeling, it’s your nervous system overstimulated & overwhelmed. 

Lo key I cried everyday for a year. 
👣 One step and one day at a time.

Hello… I know it’s been a while….but there are chapters in life that bring us to our knees—grief, trauma, illness, injury, or caring for others while healing ourselves.

I’ve come to realize our bodies want to heal. Our nervous systems are wired for it. And maybe, just maybe, the hardest parts of life reveal we really have more to give. 🖤

Recently, I had the honor of being a guest on All Things Pilates Podcast with Darien Gold @darien_gold_pilates_expert A second-generation Classical Master Pilates instructor. This conversation isn’t just for Pilates professionals or breast cancer survivors—it’s for anyone navigating their way through personal growth and development. 

We explore:
    •    Living with trauma and PTSD
    •    How body awareness supports emotional healing
    •    Resilience in motherhood, teaching, and business
    •    The quiet power of consistency and self-compassion

Anyone finding their way back to themselves. Listen and if it resonates please share it forward. Thanks.

🌟 A Path Forward 🌟 

In recent years, I’ve shifted from chasing success to embracing a slower, more intentional journey. This reflection has been crucial after some challenging times that have left me feeling numb and overwhelmed. Many of us know how hard it is to keep up appearances while struggling inside. It’s not sustainable, and I’ve realized the need for change.

Life’s challenges, like breast cancer diagnosis/treatment/recovery + family car accident that fractured my sternum and injured my shoulder and a recent sprained ankle, have forced me to confront my limits. These experiences have shown me the importance of reevaluating my priorities, seeking better support, and creating room for space, for healing and growth. 

This pause isn’t a goodbye—it’s a breather to focus on what truly matters. I want to reconnect with the quiet strength that grows from realizing that, despite everything, you never give up on yourself or lose yourself….and move toward a meaningful, inspiring future.

Wishing you all a peaceful healthy holiday season and a Happy healthy New Year! 🪅❤️ Shelly
