#PlusSizePilates

As a #pilatesinstructor I’m honored to be in a plus sized body that is able to help people of all sizes and abilities feel seen, heard, and supported every single day. All bodies are #pilates bodies and worthy of taking up space in the Pilates and fitness communities. Period. #plussizepilates #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesworkout #plussizefitness #reformerpilates #pilatesreformer

Pilates is not for weight loss. There. I said it. To quote one of the greatest movies of all time: “Anyone who says differently is selling something.” That’s not to say that Pilates doesn’t have benefits—it absolutely does. And I would argue that focusing on improvements in those areas is the truly health promoting behavior. But I’m not here to tell you what to do with your body. I just need you to understand that Pilates, on its own, is not going to affect the numeric measure of your body’s relationship to gravity or the amount of tissue you inhabit in the way many people (whose motivations and ethics I seriously question 😅) want you to believe it will. I’m not saying this to deter people from giving Pilates a shot. Please, please do! It’s just important to me that we communicate realistic expectations. Especially in an industry, a society that wants us to believe that the only valid transformations are visible and dramatic. Please share the ways (unrelated to weight/size) that Pilates has improved your life. Your experiences are genuinely my favorite things to hear about and I hope they encourage a few folks to reevaluate the ways they define the effectiveness and value of their movement practices. #pilates #pilatesfit #pilatesstrong #pilatescommunity #fatbodypilates #fatpositivefitness #fatpilates #curvypilates #plussizepilates #bodypositivepilates #pilatesforallbodies #sizeinclusivepilates #inclusivepilates #pilatesbody

Do me a favor? If you are someone who practices Pilates in a larger body and/or you know/are a teacher and/or studio owner who welcomes folks in larger bodies, please share relevant details (name, location, etc.) with us in the comments so we can support size inclusivity in the industry. Self-promotion encouraged! If you are someone who is interested in trying Pilates who is nervous: a) that’s completely understandable, especially given the recent mouthing off over on the other app by someone who definitely would have been better served to keep their ish to themselves, but b) check the comments here AND also the map I have on the FBP website where I note the information of teachers who have completed my Size Inclusive Pilates Workshop, and/or c) if you’re looking for a specific location recommendation or even a buddy, let us know that in the comments too and let’s see if we can connect folks! It’s times like this when I think it’s important to celebrate and expand the size inclusive Pilates community that we’ve built! Note: Obviously I can’t personally vet all of the recommendations that come in, but I am choosing to assume positive intent. #pilates #pilatesfit #pilatesstrong #pilatescommunity #fatbodypilates #fatpositivefitness #fatpilates #curvypilates #plussizepilates #bodypositivepilates #pilatesforallbodies #sizeinclusivepilates #inclusivepilates #pilatesbody

I once had a Pilates instructor refuse to work with my because I was fat. I so desperately wanted to try Pilates because as someone with RA, I knew it was a workout that would be beneficial for my joints. My doctor even suggested it. But this narrow minded instructor tried to tell me otherwise. I’m glad I surrounded myself with good people who encouraged me to keep trying. I reached out to plus instructors online who supported me and helped me find the place that encouraged me to fall in love with Pilates (@pilatescoven I’m looking at you and miss you terribly). I was encouraged to try new things and throw myself into Pilates l, regardless of size. And now here I am 1.5 years later with a reformer in my basement and a daily practice that feeds my mind, body, and soul. Do not let people in the fitness industry prevent you from trying workouts that interest you because of your size or ability. You have just as much of a right to fall in love with a practice as anyone else. Go get em pals ❤️ And special shoutout to @flexiapilates for making Pilates more accessible for everyBODY. #plussizeathlete #weightlossjourney #plussizefitness #fitnessmotivation #plussize #pilates #pilatesreformer #pilatesprincess #plussizepilates

🧘🏼‍♀️ If the thought of doing Pilates or being on the reformer has ever scared you…this video is for you! 🧘🏼‍♀️ I was so intimidated by the reformer the first time I saw it, but now it’s my favorite way to exercise, strength train, and move my body. Even though my arms and legs can be wrapped up in straps, I’ve never felt more free or powerful while exercising. 💪🏼 My biggest tip is to just START! Find a local studio and just go - getting through the door is sometimes the hardest part. For my local friends, I absolutely love my studio @albemarlepilatesyoga and I couldn’t have made all the progress I have without my teacher @pilateswithkelee! 🧘🏼‍♀️ Let me know if you already practice Pilates or if you’ll be trying your first class soon! 🫶🏼 #pilates #pilatesforall #pilatesforeverybody #plussizepilates #plussizeyoga #yogaforeveryone #yogaforeverybody #plussizebloggers #plussizefashion #plussizestyle

O tamanho do corpo de alguém não é uma indicação do que ele é ou não capaz. Pilates é para todos os corpos. ♥️ #pilates #pilatesparatodos #contrologia #pilatesclassico #plussize #saude #atividadefisica #movimento #dieta #corpo #fisioterapia #treino #força #bemestar

Taille 48 mais pilates girl quand même ! ✨ ce n’est pas une discipline réservée à une morpho : fais toi plaisir, ne t’empêches pas de pratiquer une discipline parce que tu as peur de ne pas y avoir ta place. Tant que tu prends du plaisir, que tu progresses, que tu te sens plus forte et que ça te donne confiance. Il n’y a rien que tu ne puisses faire ! • mes combinaisons viennent de chez @savagexfenty ou @fableticseu • le studio où j’ai filmé est à Genève : @formstudioclub #plussize #grandetaille #bodypositive #pilatesisforeverybody #pilates #pilatesreformer
