Check out one of my other passions with Pilates with Bonny-Lynn!

Can we share a little story about the inception of the University of Pilates (UP)? ☕✨

One day, over coffee, we were talking about all things Pilates—something we love to do! We discussed how challenging it is for Pilates studios to find great teachers with solid training. We also talked about the barriers many Canadians face in accessing quality training due to the size of our country and the often prohibitive costs.

We began to dream and play the ‘what if’ game. What if we could reimagine teacher training? What if we could remove the barriers of cost (we offer financing options and ensure our program is affordable)? What if we could eliminate the barrier of distance and reduce travel costs (because not everyone can drop everything to become a Pilates teacher)? We did that too, with our hybrid program combining online and in-person modules. You can work at your own pace using our app, no more sitting for hours watching exercises just once.

We also felt a responsibility to create a program that builds the confidence of our teachers. Coaching is a huge part of what makes our program unique, and our students often say it’s their favorite part! Lastly, we spend a lot of time teaching our teachers to think outside the box, use Pilates as a system, and understand the business of Pilates to become great professionals.

If Pilates training is something you’ve been thinking about, our fall enrollment is now open, and we only have a few spots left. Book a call today and let’s make things look UP! 🌟

🌟 This Week is All About Self-Love at ARC Pilates 🌟

Hey everyone! Have you taken a moment to truly love yourself today? This week, we’re diving deep into all things self-love because, let’s face it, it doesn’t get talked about enough. Yet, the power of self-love is monumental—it shapes our confidence and how we show up in the world.

In today’s fast-paced society, the expectations on women are incredibly high. We juggle careers, families, and social lives, often pushing us toward burnout. It’s exhausting. And while the idea of putting ourselves first can seem daunting, it’s necessary.

🌱 You Are Not Alone

Remember, you don’t have to walk this path by yourself. Whether it’s needing someone to talk to, seeking guidance through coaching, or moving your body in a way that feels good, I am here. At ARC Pilates, we’re more than a community; we’re a support system.

💌 Let’s Start a Conversation

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, let’s chat. Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation to begin the journey towards loving and appreciating ourselves fully.

💪 Move and Love

And if you’re ready to connect through movement, join me in honoring our bodies, no matter where we are in our journey. Let’s use the lessons from our past to shape where we’re headed, and do it with love and acceptance for who we are today.

Today, let’s commit to showing ourselves a little more love. Let’s start falling in love with who we are right now. Together, we can foster self-love not just as a practice, but as a way of life.

💖 Let’s do this together. Because self-love isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Mother’s Day is a celebration that evokes a range of emotions for many. For some, it’s a day eagerly awaited, a time to honor the special bond between mother and child. For others, it may bring a mix of feelings, a reminder of the challenges and profound changes that come with motherhood.

The day a woman becomes a mother marks a significant turning point in her life. It is a moment that forever alters her identity, priorities, and purpose. The journey of motherhood is a deep, transformative experience where one gives selflessly to nurture, protect, and love their children.
Yet, despite the immense joy and love that motherhood brings, it also comes with its share of struggles and heartaches. The love a mother feels is profound, but so is the pain that comes with it. The sacrifices, worries, and vulnerabilities that accompany motherhood are undeniable, forming a complex tapestry of emotions that make the journey both challenging and rewarding.

On this Mother’s Day, it is important for all mothers to take a moment to recognize and celebrate themselves. Acknowledge the endless hours of care, the unwavering support, and the boundless love that you give unconditionally. Embrace the imperfections, the uncertainties, and the struggles, for they are all part of the beautiful and messy journey of motherhood.

So, to all the incredible mothers out there, remember to cherish yourself on this special day. Celebrate all that you do, all that you give, and all the profound love that resides in your heart. Happy Mother’s Day!

As we navigate life’s various roles, our rhomboids support us, literally and metaphorically. Strengthening them strengthens our resolve, love for ourselves, and our ability to centre our ego in any role we choose.

“You can say what Pilates is in three words. Stretch with Strength and Control. And the control part is the most important because that makes you use your mind.” ~ Romana Kryzanowska

💫 Embracing Control and Balance 🤸🏻 with Pilates

Pilates isn’t just a physical regimen; it’s a holistic approach to finding control and balance in both body and mind. Through precise, mindful movements, Pilates teaches us the art of living with intention and grace.

🔥Control: A Pilates Principle for Life

Control in Pilates goes beyond physical exercises; it’s about making deliberate life choices. The meticulous attention to movement and breath in Pilates encourages us to approach daily challenges with poise, enhancing our ability to manage stress and make healthy decisions.

🤸🏻‍♂️Balance: Beyond the Physical

Pilates shows us that balance is key, not only in maintaining physical stability but also in achieving emotional and mental well-being. It teaches us to find equilibrium amidst life’s ups and downs, promoting a calm and centered demeanor.

🧠 The Power of Mind-Body Connection

The essence of Pilates lies in the connection between mind and body. This practice fosters mindfulness, improves focus, and boosts overall well-being, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

Pilates: A Path to Self-Discovery

Pilates is a journey that challenges us to explore our limits and uncover our inner strength. It’s an invitation to a more balanced and controlled life, offering a sense of fulfillment and achievement.

🪜 Step into Pilates

Regardless of your experience, incorporating Pilates principles into your life can lead to significant transformations. Let Pilates guide you to a more empowered, balanced, and controlled existence.
