Pilates with Neesa

Spinal Rotation.

Friends, With the lock downs looming and schedules uncertain, I would like to offer an anchor and a sense of community. I'm running an impromtu Pilates Level 1/2 class tomorrow (Friday) on Zoom at NOON EST. I'm calling it: 'Breathing and Moving at the Same Time'. lol.... It's PWYC, suggested $10, but if you'd like to pay nothing, I'm into it. Just come anyway. Let me know, and I'll send you the link. All the love to you. See more

Thank you Laura for these kind words, looking forward to more work soon!

This is just so horrible. I am shocked and sorry and frustrated and am attempting to wrap my head around the fear that many BIPOC live with each day. Each day!

Set yourself up for a weekend of increased energy levels, better mobility and a less cluttered mind. Level 2 class + Hiit workout tomorrow morning at 9 am on Zoom. Let me know if you're coming and I'll send you the link.

Special delivery ! If we ever get back to in-studio Pilates sessions, there will be all new cadillac springs to work with!! And bubble wrap to pop!! @ Pursuit Integrative Health

Ready to teach Pandemic Pilates this afternoon out under the shade tree. Mask on, equipment washed, mats over 6 feet apart.

Thank you Kelly for these words.

Get jumping! A great article about HIIT workouts. https://www.mensjournal.com//7-reasons-every-guy-should-d/?

Anyone else finding themselves tightening their upper abs when listening to the countless devastating news reports? A rectus grip inhibits your breath pa...ttern and will affect your ability to move with ease and efficiency. Put your hands on your bottom ribs (above your waist) and feel how these ribs naturally expand in 3D. Bottom ribs have a lot of movement in them bc they are floating! Not attached at the front! Free to expand and contract with the easy rhythm of your breath. Join me for Pilates at noon EST tomorrow. Sign up at www.pursuitintegrativehealth.com See more

The first time I ever protested anything was last year with the teacher's cuts to education. I have avoided taking a stand, often because I usually don't know enough to solidly debate, if someone were to challenge my opinion. It turns out I don't need to know everything in order to stand up for what I believe in. I just need to stand up. I will continue to use my white privilege to stand up, speak out, learn, unlearn and learn again. Thank you Dr. Jpop for your guidanc...e. Black and Indigenous Lives Matter. See more

Doing this tomorrow night.

Your psoas muscles really are so incredibly complex and brilliant. Wow. I mean, I thought I knew that before, but this course is blowing my Pilates nerd mind. Looking forward to integrating this knowledge into my teaching practise.

PILATES FOR SEWERS Good day Sewing Army ! A few of you have expressed that your back and neck are getting sore from hours of sewing. This gentle vid is for bringing your body back to a more neutral alignment and relieving a bit of tension. Repeat it once, twice or three times a day. **Please listen to your body and if you feel pain, don't do it! This work should feel good and easy on your body.... **if your neck is sore when you lie down, grab a pillow for behind your head. BONUS: add jumping jacks on the end for a bit of full bodied awesomeness. Enjoy, and thank you for making our community safer.

New cards for my new digs!

Have questions about stretching? Read this incredible blog from Laura at Pilates Process. Personally I’m not a huge fan of passive (static) stretching on my own body. I do love actively lengthening muscles though. Read this awesomeness. Thanks Laura!!

Hi friends, I will be teaching pre and postnatal Pilates classes at Pursuit Integrative Health beginning in a few weeks. If you know a mama who might benefit from this, please let them know or share this post with them. Thank you!

Wow, Melanie Byford-Young’s post are always so well articulated ! Here’s a beautiful explanation of the difference between a disc herniation and disc degeneration. Both issues would benefit from mindful Pilates rehabilitation.

This is super cool.

Happy Halloween everyone!!
