A little playtime at work doing some of the super advanced exercises! After 8 years of teaching I finally learned candlestick 🥵 I’m amazed at how humbling and exciting Pilates can be even for instructors 🙌🏾 #classicalpilates #candlestick #realpilates #controlstudios #blackgirlpilates #pilatesplayground #superadvanced #houstonpilates taken in Real Pilates Houston by @pilatesbymayap

Random dump in light of my new obsession with athletic wear. A few looks from the Pilates series I’ve been filming with @psychetruth the last couple months. Getting more comfortable in front of the camera and stepping out of my comfort zone ☺️

This Teaser Tuesday we’re playing with open leg rocker! This has always been a challenging exercise for me...learning to use my core strength and NOT my momentum 😂 I’ve been introducing my intermediate level clients to this exercise and it’s been a lot of fun witnessing their progress!

Pull ups on the wunda chair is by far my favorite upper abdominal exercise! I’ve found that most times we don’t realize how much of our strength comes from our core *aka* powerhouse but IT DOES! What’s your favorite wunda chair exercise?!

Learning to articulate through my spine has definitely been a challenge in my Pilates practice (if you have a sway back or general stiffness, you understand my pain 😩). This is definitely something that I love to focus on with my clients. Poor posture and stiffness contribute to a lot of pain that we feel in the body and it’s something very liberating about learning how to move your body correctly. Roll Back on the Cadillac/Tower has been a go to of mine to reconnect with my spine and practice proper alignment. How has Roll Back helped with your posture?!

Here’s some Tower fun on the Cadillac! I enjoy this one particularly because of the weight of the spring and how it allows me to really articulate through my spine (which has not always been easy for me 🙃)...I’ll share more on that next time!

It’s Teaser Tuesday 🤸🏾‍♀️ What has been most challenging for you when executing this exercise? For me, it’s been finding the length in my lower spine while keeping my balance 🙃 Find some time to move your body today!
