Embody Yoga & Pilates

That fourth reformer is staying pretty hot!! Love seeing all these smiling faces on the regular!

Our students are the most incredible people and they spoil us! Farm fresh eggs one day, gorgeous flowers the next… Truly living in abundance here. 💖🙏🏼

Classes that have been booked solid for years now have open spots! Nope, nobody quit. We just added a fourth machine!

Snag your spots. 🥰 New 30 Days Unlimited Reformer classes for $200.

Let our teachers help you learn to move more skillfully and joyfully and CONNECT to your core.

At a potluck recently, I was enjoying the most divine dessert, a pavlova with elder flower lemon curd and fresh blueberry drizzle.

The person to my left said something about it being a “guilty pleasure”, to which replied, “I want to assure you, I do not feel guilty about pleasure.”

Do you enjoy your body? You should. You can. No matter how many aches and pains you also have. You can have bliss too- and not just in the form of food.

You can move in delicious ways.

We can teach you!

For well over a decade, I’ve been referring to this pose as Happy Birthday pose, so in celebration of our dear buddy Joe Mattingly having attained another decade of life in this particular embodiment, I give you this pose!

May all your days be filled with the love and light you so freely share!

Loved this image shared by our Equipment Manufacturer Balanced Body.

Happy to provide an affirming space for loving humans!

These beauties wore their Embody shirts to Chair to Mat Yoga this morning, and I couldn’t resist requesting a photo… “where two or more are gathered”….

You have two more chances to hear me speak and sing in my native accent, point rifles at people, preach a revival alongside my “husband”, kill and be killed by demons and come back from the dead.

So if you’re into that kinda thing….

We will be adding our handy dandy Pilates tool tomorrow to the mat class… the magic ring!! It’s so versatile for stretching and adding that little extra oomph!

🙏🏼💖 My heart is filled with gratitude for our students who share the bounty they have cultivated with us! Embody is a special place to grow.

Happy National Pilates Day!

What fun students I have! Sometimes they throw balls at me or their straps to the floor (all in fun), but then they ask “What’s next?”. I wanted to give these ladies a challenge, and they decided to take it to the next level for an advanced teaser prep! They said they wished they had a picture of it in case they never do it again. So I said “Well, do it again!”

They always amaze me how they show up and show out! I’m glad I GET to be one of their teachers!

These two women really brought it today. They went deep into the holds. They were up for the arm balance. They were ready to “go there” in savasana.

The right people always show up at the right time. 💖🙏🏼

We promise, we actually love you!

I’d like to switch up my playlist in Classes… so this week I’ll be doing different movie soundtracks. What’s your favorite? Dirty dancing is one of mine 🕺🏼

Let’s celebrate our faithful companions!! We want to see yours!

Mat Pilates has moved to WEDNESDAY @ 11:10! All bodies welcome! This is good for any level of fitness with modifications available! Tomorrow’s class will be focusing on Happy Hips!

“My heartfelt wish is that this book may effectively show why and how these platitudes can be harmful, and how grasping the deeper truths to which they are adjacent is profoundly liberating.“- Dr. Christopher Wallis

Updated book group day and time. Sunday, Feb 18 6:30 pm.

It was a privilege to get to share yoga with the students of SCC’s first-rate physical therapy assistant program.

Being with such bright souls about to enter a career of helping vulnerable folks deal with physical challenges was inspiring.

Thank you Melanie Hines for entrusting them to me today. May our time together serve them and their future patients for years to come!

Last year Included some huge life changes to support my kiddos in their stages of life. They are thriving, and now I might work on somethings for myself. Jenny Williams Is now giving me support at Embody to see where I can take my Pilates practice 🥰

I’m usually one that doesn’t put my oxygen mask on first, so to speak. I hesitate when asked “what do you do for yourself?” Too often, this is common thread with women. This is where I would like to focus my practice. To provide space to breathe, and to be yourself. I know how easy It Is to stay In the roles of mother, wife, daughter, sister, caregiver etc…

So do you also hesitate when asked that question, or do you have an abundance of activities? If you have an abundance, share some with me in the comments! I’m always looking for new things to try! If you hesitate, and think this is something you would like for yourself, message me for scheduling and pricing. You will get private classes for your body, your goals, and your comfort level. You will get to be on the receiving end of something for yourself ❤️

Community love. 💗
