✨ Shining this month's client spotlight on Elizabeth Ward!✨

The One Leg Stretch (commonly referred to as the Single Leg Stretch) kicks off the Ab Series 5 (an instructor fav!)
Start with both knees drawn into chest and lift head neck and shoulders off of the mat. Extend the left leg forward to your working angle and keep right knee bent. Right hand goes to the outside ankle and left hand to the inside of knee (this helps keep shin aligned with hip socket). Switch legs, and pull the opposite knee in (check hand placement!). Stay lifted to the tips of the shoulder blades and keep your tailbone heavy!

To modify, keep the long leg lifted above a 45* angle. If you feel discomfort in your low back, raise the leg. For knee or hip issues or tightness, place both hands behind the thigh to draw the knee in.

Hey Essential MVMT fam! We're excited to announce that we will be hosting a FREE informational session on nutrition on Sunday, March 17th at 3:15pm.

Meet Regina, one of our consistent clients who we're shining a spotlight on! She's been with us for more than a year now and has made so much progress in her strength and endurance! After reading about the many benefits of Pilates, she felt inspired to give it a go! When she first started with us she was experiencing regular knee pain in her day to day life and is now pain free! She never misses Katie's Barre class and regularly attends Cardio and Tower classes in the evenings!

Regina's advice for those planning to start their Pilates journey: have a plan, self-discipline and consistency!!

We're always thankful for your presence in our studio and the fun energy you bring to each class! Thank you so much for being part of our community, Regina! xx
