Another goodbye to @gadsdenstudio ! Tonight was my last “official” night teaching at the studio. I’ll be poking my head in/out over the next few weeks subbing where I can and saying my farewells to this beautiful community of movers!
I promise I’m not crying (yet 🥹)!
Well, today was hard… I said goodbye to one of my favorite clients - Ms. Mary @pure_pilates . What started as a subbing opportunity, eventually turned into regular sessions. We’ve been hanging out in the studio together every week for almost two years and she’s been an absolute joy (and comedian)!
Unfortunately, of all the things I’ve learned about Pilates and working with clients, there’s no preparation for separation ❤️ I’ll certainly miss this one!
Three ways, one intention: control, connection, and challenge.
Level 1: supported + grounded
Level 2: lifted + engaged
Level 3: elevated + uncompromising
Same movement. Different demands.
Meet your body where it is… and take it one level higher when you’re ready ✨

POV: my brain the second those springs start moving… weeeee
Jumpboard is where Pilates quietly turns into cardio—without the joint stress. You get your heart rate up, build endurance, and strengthen through your legs and core while lying down (yes please).
Bonus: all that controlled jumping is amazing for your ankle joints—helping improve mobility, stability, and resilience in a super low-impact way.
Basically… it’s fun, it’s effective, and it makes you feel like a kid again 🎉
Who’s tried jumpboard yet??

Pilates isn’t about how fast you move… it’s about how well you move.
Rushing through exercises might feel harder, but it usually means you’re skipping the most important parts: breath, control, and precision.
Slow it down, and suddenly everything turns on:
your core, your alignment, your awareness.
That “burn” you’re chasing? It’s not in the speed. It’s in the control.
If it ever feels easy, don’t go faster.
Go slower.
Have you ever caught yourself rushing through movements?

The Hundred, three ways ✨
Same movement, different demands on the body.
1️⃣ Tabletop: more support for the lower back while you build deep core strength
2️⃣ Legs to ceiling: challenges stability while keeping the spine supported
3️⃣ Legs long + lowered: increased load on the core, requiring more control to keep the lower back anchored
It’s not about choosing the “hardest” option… it’s about choosing the right one for your body today.
Master the connection first, then progress when you can maintain control, breath, and a stable spine. That’s where the real work (and results) happen.
Subtle progression > rushing the challenge 🤍
