My personal Pilates practice is for me… and only me. Unlike my past relationship with movement, it’s not about chasing happiness through a certain aesthetic. It’s about feeling strong, present, and at peace.

I’m curious, what’s your “why” behind your Pilates practice? ☺️

Who else has trust issues because their Pilates instructor promised “fun”? 😂

And just know… Somehow, someway I am going to magically make that 30min drive to the studio a 20min drive without speeding or breaking any laws. 😌

Don’t do it… you’ve been warned.

POV: anytime someone asks why you can’t make it to an event… “Because I have Pilates.”

I’m sorry, transverse abdominis what now? Serratus who?

Clients have been known to riot when feet in straps get left out.

Rumor has it there was an instructor once upon a time who skipped them…

And they were never heard from again.

Welcome to the family (cult).

Soaking up every moment of self-practice I can get in on the outdoor reformers at @peoples_pilates. ☀️

Hi, it’s me. I’m the Pilates instructor. 🙋🏻‍♀️

The worst is when I remember it after the class has already ended… Don’t worry, it’ll haunt me the rest of the day. 🫠

So, sometimes (aka a lot of times) I have to remind myself, as a Pilates instructor, that the whole point isn’t my teaching abilities.

It’s not how many classes I’ve taught or how well I can cue or what my class plan will be for tomorrow (jk it’s already planned).

But the whole point IS actually my own practice.

Just… moving.
Breathing.
Learning.
Being a student, myself.

And everything else comes after that.

I mean… We’re always told to “fill your own cup first” or “put your own oxygen mask on before helping someone else.”

I think that applies to Pilates, too.

Sometimes we need to stop being the instructors and just be…. here.

So here’s to being here, friends... Cheers!🧋🧋

P.S. Just imagine those two bubble tea emojis are clinking like the champagne flutes emoji, mmmmkay.

P.P.S. RIP Glen Hansard 😭

Okay so sometimes I say 3 but really I mean 10… and then other times I say “last one” when really I mean 5 more… I never claimed to be good at math, mmmkay? And luckily it wasn’t in the job description. 🤷‍♀️

One of the hardest parts of becoming a Pilates instructor is remembering to prioritize your own practice.
Not the planning, not the teaching…
but the quiet moments where you move simply to reconnect with your own body.

Here’s your reminder to stay a student of your own practice… and keep nurturing the passion that brought you here in the first place.

For those who are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, or carrying more than usual right now… be gentle with yourself.

You’re not alone.
Keep showing up in whatever way you can.
It matters.
You matter.
