🛑 Stop cueing “chin to chest” 🛑

I used to use this cue, as well! I changed my mind and found out other cues are more effective to achieve a C-Curve than chin to chest.

I noticed my clients and members would lift their heads without any abdominal engagement, especially my hypermobile and lordotic friends. Complaints of pain behind/front of the neck and upper traps would ensue.

Using the magic circle is a great way to help clients understand that a C-Curve comes from the RIBS softening/pancaking forward/in/down (insert a cue that clicks), etc. When teaching this, a common mistake I see is people putting their 👄 on the ring, jutting the chin forward and shortening the cervical spine. Pressing the ring into the sternum and making it an oval shape allows for tactile feedback on the nose and stomach when movement starts at the ribs.

In a class of 20+ people , we first started in a standing position, then knelt down and practiced it again (remember always keep ribs stacked over hips), and then we laid down supine. I started upright like this, so everyone could see and learn how to do the C-Curve before laying down. With a one on one client, I would do the opposite because they would be more supported by the mat and then build up from there. To progress, take it onto the Wunda chair and practice Cat!🐈‍⬛

I learned this building block from an amazing video on Pilatesology. If you are a classical instructor and haven’t explored this website, I highly recommend it!!!

What do you think?

The push-ups you need to make your triceps work more precise!

I love how the ring at the sternum forces the elbows to stay bent and work to stay in the arms.

I show three variations of what we will do in tonight’s heated class!

Come move with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Heated Pilates 5:30pm at Equinox River Oaks!

Hello Pilates Fam! ✨

My second goal for Q4 is to not just maintain that momentum we’ve built, but to propel us even further, ensuring we finish the year feeling fantastic, rejuvenated, and ahead of where we started.

My personal Q4 goal is to connect 100 of you with something truly special—the Aescape robot massage. I genuinely believe in this as a powerful extension of your Pilates practice and a necessary investment in your total well-being.

Think of it: you work hard to build foundational strength and mobility with me, and the Aescape massage is the ultimate tool for accelerated recovery, deeper tension release, and accountability to actually do recovery! It’s not just a pampering session; it’s an investment in your longevity and a strategic move to unlock even more from your movement practice.

This quarter, let’s make a commitment to not just move better, but to also recover better. Let me help you experience the future of personalized bodywork and make sure your body is getting the care it deserves to crush your end-of-year goals!

Hello Pilates Community! 🧘‍♀️
Can you believe we’re already in Q4? This year has flown by, and I’m so proud of the strength and dedication you’ve all shown in our mat classes and in the studio. As we push through these last few months, my goal is to finish the year even stronger, not just physically, but also as a connected community.
For Q4, I’m thrilled to announce two special community events designed to foster open-minded conversation and connection:
I plan to host two specific community events this Quarter 4 that will foster open-minded conversation: a walk on the Galveston Seawall and a book club for my neighborhood community.
These events are all about building connections, sharing ideas, and strengthening the incredible community we’ve cultivated. Let’s make Q4 our most engaging quarter yet and finish the year feeling more connected and inspired than ever before!
Stay tuned for sign-up details and exact dates. I can’t wait to share these experiences with you!
