Thanks “Vancouver Tiffany” for the inspiring week together. Prepping for a therapeutic course and a running workshop at the same time is quite a brain challenge.

That was a whirlwind 4 days! First to Vernon bc to co-teach a therapeutic workshop at the exquisite Centred PIlates Studio with the fabulous Sean Ling-Allen. We go back decades and it was fun to get to work together to share this Therapeutic Guidelines course with such an awesome and engaged group. The next day a drive to Vancouver for an afternoon of filming with Alison and Tiffany Thanks all, for the fun, your great teaching and for your willingness to dive in and just do. Not a second was wasted!

We are prepping for our Level 3 reformer course as demo’d by Neesa’s awesome arabesque. There is one spot left in this advanced course. Pilates teachers if you’re ready to expand your repertoire and challenge your clients by learning the safe progressions and priority cueing of this advanced level, contact us today! We start next Saturday, Nov. 18.

I’m loving our new stability discs. Feels like a low back massage while doing a core workout. Yet another fun toy :)

Practice teaching Chair for the first time is no easy task. Complex spring decisions, lots of adjustments for height and so little support from the equipment makes for a big learning curve. Thanks to their focus and eagerness to dive in, this was a highly successful training weekend for all trainees. The Chair can be humbling to do and intimidating to teach. Well done everyone! That was so fun :)

Happy Halloween all!

New groups are added to our fall schedule!

Our teacher training courses are held in very small groups to ensure lots of individual guidance and we offer support even after the course ends. This can progress to apprenticeship opportunities for many participants. Meet Colleen who completed our Reformer teacher training program in May and is now ready to teach. It’s a great opportunity for Colleen to further expand her skills and a great opportunity for a few lucky people to get an introduction to Reformer Pilates at a greatly reduced rate. If you’re interested in booking a $35 apprentice session - inquire today! Limited availability. Restrictions apply.

What a fabulous weekend of teaching ! Thanks to every trainee for jumping into Body Day practice with bravery and enthusiasm. There were some great teaching moments from everyone. Thanks for making this intensive reformer training so much fun! A GO train made for relaxing travel, and coffee got us through. I’m looking forward to watching the teaching skills progress in part 2.

A super satisfying start to our Foundational Reformer Course these past 2 weekends. This course has such an intense beginning with loads of material to learn and anatomy to explore. Thanks to this fabulous group for diving in so bravely and openly. And thanks for for hosting us

They promised to behave! I thought it would be less annoying letting them in the room rather than having them scratch on the door. Apparently not. New videos posted to VOD. Complete with a cat fight.

Spring News Perhaps it’s the end of covid hibernation. Or maybe it’s due to the spring (ish) weather? Either way it appears that Pilates is on a major upswing. We are trendy once again. Yay Pilates :) New studios are popping up everywhere and certified teachers are in high demand.

An ideal work set up is one that allows us to change positions easily. This was a perfect set up for me this morning allowing cross legged, hinging or alternating one foot up positions. If you get used to shifting constantly your body will continually want to shift. We don’t want our tissues to be held in the same position for hours even in a position that is balanced and well aligned.

Curious to try the infamous Pilates Reformer? We have great deals for the month of May. Book a private session with one of our fabulous trainees and get a personal, guided workout for only $30. Trainees like Sonja, pictured here, have completed our robust Foundational Training Program. As trainees prep for their certification exams they practice and teach at a discounted rate. Useful for them and a mega deal for you. Contact us today @ [email protected] to find out if an apprentice session is suitable for you.

My feet found a vivo foot friend :) I thought I’d see way more movement friendly shoes at a Pilates symposium. Wide toe box and minimal incline allows full ankle mobility and space for the arch to spring and spread - all of the biomechanics that we talk about in the Pilates world. Mind you, my vivos didn’t take me to the ballet. That 2 hour walk was in heels. The best of both worlds? I’m hoping so.

Pilates Alert! $30 apprentice classes available for the month of May! Work with one of our awesome new apprentice teachers like Sonja and get introduced to the Pilates basics on the Mat and Reformer. Limited spots and not suitable for all. Contact [email protected] for more info.

It takes just a little grunt work to transform our massage room into our zoom room for mat teacher training. (Good thing I do Pilates!) I’m excited to be teaching the opening of our mat teacher training course this weekend! Delving into some Pilates history, principles and anatomy.

11 mins of moderate-vigorous activity daily can make a massive difference to health including lowering our risk of cancer. This was one of the surprises in the literature review referred to in this article. Half the weekly recommendation (150mins/weekly), at only 75 minutes per week made a signficant difference in health outcomes. This means that for many people a brisk 11 minute walk can be caterogized as moderate to vigorous. Yes. More is better. But 11 mins is so very worth it!

Well: 5 reasons to take a walk, chiropractic risks and how introverts make friends I, like so many of us, spend too much time hunched over a computer — and it’s alarming me a little. So throughout my day, I ask myself: Can this activity be done while walking? I’ve recently taken meetings and made eight-minute phone calls on foot, and I turned one coffee date with a friend in...

We all know that we have to keep moving to stay healthy. Sometimes knowing some specific details as to why this is true can be really motivating and this article reconfirms the reality. Keeping some movement up, even when it feels minimal and futile, is well worth it.
"After 12 days (of inactivity), studies show that the total amount of blood the heart pumps every minute decreases, along with the amount of oxygenated blood available to muscles and other cells."
How motivating is that?
