you aren't alone if you feel starved from connection, human interaction, and physical touch. time's are tough, but we hold onto a hopeful future where all those things we love so dearly are plentiful and appreciated more than ever! we encourage you to practice self love and self care. ( yup, that means hugging yourself ). a great practice is to continually ask yourself throughout the day 'what do I need right now?' let your body guide you. take care. drawing by @emba_dibujos

We are so excited to be kicking off March with 21 DAYS OF HEALTHY HABITS. "It takes a person anywhere from 21-254 days for something to become a solid habit. So, if a person can commit to a new habit / goal for 21 days straight, after 3 weeks it becomes a habit." We as a team will be sharing our healthy habits throughout the 21 days. Expect takeovers from our staff, peeks into what habits we're working on, and of course encouragemen...t for YOU, our community, to join us! Choose something that is simple + attainable, but you feel would make a positive difference in your life. - drinking a glass of water first thing in the morning - stretching for 10 minutes everyday - technology free evenings The list is endless! Drop an emoji below if you’ll be joining us! Post in your IG stories during the 21 days and tag us so we can celebrate you! #MOVMThealthyhabits See more

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion. JOSEPH PILATES.

CHEERS! Whether it's green juice, champagne, or sparkling water in your glass - we are raising our glasses to you, our wonderful community! Although 2020 was nothing like we expected, we are incredibly grateful for you all, for supporting us this year. Have a safe + happy NYE friends! photo : @careyshawphotography

THE MAGIC CIRCLE! "The Magic Circle is a simple, but effective equipment aimed at improving and toning muscle growth. It is made out of rubber and provides the body feedback as to which muscles it is targeting. This tool was originally created by Joseph Pilates, and is used for Pilates exercises. Used on a mat, the Reformer, or other equipment, this portable piece helps maintain proper alignment and increase proprioceptive awareness." Majority of us have a love/hate relationship with this magic little piece of equipment. photo : @mollyschikoskyphotography

need to take a breather? try this! take a blanket, bolster, pillow, or foam block (like Chrissy has here) underneath your back and head to support you. if your hips feel ok doing so, you can let them fall open (it can be helpful to put blocks under your knees if you feel discomfort/tightness in your hips). you can also rest with your legs extended straight outward - whatever feels best for you! extend your arms up and over like Chrissy, or rest... one hand on your belly and one hand on your heart. close your eyes and breathe. do a body scan from your toes to the top of your head, imagining each body part relaxing with every exhale. E N J O Y. calmness + rest is a right that you are worthy of giving yourself. photo : @mollyschikoskyphotography See more
