In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the complexity of our routines and goals. 🫨

But sometimes, revisiting the fundamentals is where true growth happens. 🌱

Whether it is fine-tuning our connection to our powerhouse in Pilates or honing our breath in Yoga, or simply taking a moment to pause and reflect, returning to our foundations can provide clarity and strength! 🧘💪

Perseverance is about pushing through towards your goals despite not seeing immediate progress. 🌱💪

It is about knowing that good things will come in time. 🙌
Consistency is key, especially when it comes to our goals.

At MMC, we know that. We have been front row for many of our client’s successes and have been lucky to celebrate with them. 🎉

Nothing means more to us than seeing our clients achieve their goals in and out of the studio. 🌟

How have you persevered in July? And how can you take that with you into the rest of your year? 🌱

We all have those days when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed with a dark cloud over our heads, one that won’t seem to go away. ⛈️

But one simple, positive thought can change the tune of our day. ☀️ Or as silly as it may seem, a smile can start the change. 🌞

Smiling triggers a chemical reaction in the brain that releases hormones like dopamine and serotonin, which can boost your mood and reduce stress. Smiling can also release endorphins, which act as a mild pain reliever. 😆

At MMC, we understand the power of a smile. We are always happy to greet our clients with a warm smile when they walk through our doors. 😁

Our talented instructors are happy to share smiles and laughs with you before, after, and during your classes. 🤩

Our goal at MMC is to make everyone feel welcome and ensure that people feel they have a place in our community and in our studio! 🫶

What is Mat Pilates?

Mat Pilates is a series of exercises created by Joseph Pilates, prior to creating any equipment such as the Reformer or Chair. Prioritizing breathwork, centerting, and concentration, Mat Pilates is a low-impact, mind-body exercise that focuses on the core muscles and the entire body, using precise form and technique. It incorporates full-body exercises like crunches and planks, as well as dynamic stretching to lengthen muscles. Mat Pilates can help improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, as well as posture, muscle tone, and range of motion. It can also help reduce back pain and other musculoskeletal issues, relieve tension, and boost mental health.

After the whirlwind of May and the balancing act of managing life amidst a flurry of end-of-school ceremonies, recitals, and parties, you’re likely feeling depleted and yearning for the slower rhythms of summertime. 🌱

As temperatures rise and the pace of life decelerates, we at MMC are poised to inject some energy back into your routine this month! 🌟

We understand that your dedication to practice might taper off as you embark on much-needed vacations, but we’re here to reignite your enthusiasm for wellness this summer and invigorate your practice. 💪

Movement is one of the best ways to stay energized! It may seem counter-intuitive but getting up and moving can increase blood flow and oxygen circulation, this decreases fatigue and increases cognitive function! Additionally, exercise increases serotonin levels which energizes us physically and mentally! 🫀🫁🧠

There are numerous benefits to moving our bodies and we are here to support you as you discover which movement styles suit you the best! With our wonderful staff and wide variety of classes, we have something for everyone! Go to our website mckinneymovementcenter.com or send us a message via email or text! [email protected] or (469) 213 - 1227

Taking a moment throughout each day to find appreciation for where you’re at in life is a great way to practice mindfulness and staying present with those around you. 🌟

With the hustle and bustle of every day life, it can be increasingly difficult to appreciate the gifts each day has to offer. 🌱

At MMC, we do our best to provide an environment where you can practice mindfulness. Whether that is in a Studio Fitness class or an Equipment Pilates class, we emphasize showing up for yourself and doing only what your body needs. 🙌

We make ourselves available before and after classes to offer any support we can in your movement practice. We are pleased to offer a great variety of classes from our Yin Yoga with Vanessa to Vinyasa Flow with Katie to LYT Method with Koren, all the way to Barre with Tamara or Pilates Mat with Denysha. Even more, our Progressions classes with Denysha, Jaclyn, and Emily to our Power class with Jaclyn or Emily. 💪

Balance is ever-changing and never stagnant, always shifting from one thing to the next. How well we can change with the ebb and flow of our bodies, minds, and spirits is how well we can maintain balance. 🌱

We can set ourselves up for success by understanding and making room for what we need.
✅ Listening to what our bodies need, whether that is rest, exercise, a good meal, water, etc.
✅ Taking time to calm our minds and organize our thoughts. For some that might look like meditation, for others it might look like journaling.
✅ Making time to nourish our spirits, whether that is spending time with loved ones, spending time with nature, or spending time with yourself.

You’ll find that much of what we require for balance go hand in hand and at MMC, we strive to build a community that can help everyone create balance for themselves!

Whether that is making friends in an Equipment Pilates class or calming your mind while building your yoga practice! We are here to support you in every way we can as we all work to maintain balance in our lives!
