Beginner Path

Week #2 - We focus on Centering.

"Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness."

- Joseph Pilates

During Week #2 - Your class schedule is focused on building core strength and I want each of you to focus on what it feels like to engage these deep core muscles. Even if they feel weak bring your attention back to this sensation. You will get stronger with each class. Trust the process.

• NUTRITION TIP: Add another glass of water before your lunch. Also I love an afternoon herbal tea...make it a ritual. Use a beautiful mug and as you wait for it to steep - stand tall, feel your feet and breathe.

• HEALTHY HABIT: During your walks focus on moving from your center. No phones or distractions. Think about your feet and how they move you. The soles of your feet behave similarly to your pelvic floor and create a connection to the earth.

• Some of the classes include the option to use props. Don't worry if you do not have a prop because each workout can be done without props as well. If you do decide that you'd prefer to use props here is a short list:

  • Foam Roller | Light set of weights - 1-3 lbs | Optional: Magic Circle | Theraband | Pilates Ball | Block to sit up on

  • Alternative choices: Water bottles for weights and Pillow for circle and block
