📣We’re so excited to have TMS Practitioner, Rachel Feinerman, lead our next Study Session: Understanding the Pelvic Floor. ✨ Did you know that rolling your foot on a ball can stimulate your pelvic floor? Ever wondered:
• Should I cue the pelvic floor during exercise?
• Where exactly is the pelvic floor?
• How does it relate to the hips, pelvis, breath, and core? The pelvic floor can often feel like a confusing or mysterious part of the body. In this workshop, we will explore an overview of pelvic floor anatomy and develop a clearer understanding of how it moves and functions in relationship to the pelvis, hips, respiration, and core. Moving beyond Kegels, we’ll investigate recoil, breath, contraction, and stretch through dedicated exercises, Pilates movements, and everyday patterns of motion. This session is designed to deepen your understanding of the pelvic floor and help you experience how it participates in whole-body movement. We can’t wait to learn more from @rachelfeinerman together! ✨ 🗓 Wednesday, May 6th 🕔 5–6pm 💵 $40 🎯 Limited in-person or join on zoom 🎥 Recording available for all participants 🔗 Register now - Link in the Bio

Sneak peek 👀 💫Catch a glimpse of The Movement Study’s next Study Session: Getting Up and Getting Down with TMS Co-Founder Stephanie Lang Bittner. Using the Cadillac, @bittnermovement demonstrates how Pilates equipment can build the confidence you need to improve mobility, balance, and trust in your body as you get up and down from a chair or the floor. In this session, Stephanie will guide you through exercises both on the equipment and off, and show you how to adapt those same movements using household items so you can continue your practice at home. Accessible and appropriate for everyone, this Study Session will help you better understand how to change positions with greater ease and you’ll leave with simple, effective tools you can immediately integrate. 🗓 Wednesday, February 25th 🕔 5–6pm 💵 $40 🎯 Limited in-person or join on zoom 🎥 Recording available for all participants 🔗 Register now - Link in the Bio #nycpilates #nycwellness #nycpilatesstudio #movementheals #healingonebodyatatime

So much gratitude to have had the chance to work with the incredible cast of Operation Mincemeat on Broadway. 💙 Making movement a priority while navigating the demands of a Broadway schedule is no small feat and we feel especially lucky to have worked consistently with David Cumming and Claire-Marie Hall during their time in the show. Thank you @daveycumming and @claire_m_hall for trusting @bittnermovement and @mordauntmovement to help you continue to be brilliant on stage, filling audiences with hope at every performance. We will miss you both so much and are wishing all the best to the entire @mincemeatbwy team.
