Do you crave to release your back stress, tension, and nagging grouchiness?
Joseph Pilates created one of the most brilliant and life changing exercises on the Reformer machine to keep your back and spine feeling youthful and vibrant.
It is called Short Spine Massage.
The Short Spine Massage is a life changing exercise that...
✔️Increases flexibility in the hamstrings and lower back.
✔️Develops whole body coordination.
✔️Improves strength and control in the abdominals.
✔️Develops spinal articulation.
Improve spinal alignment by cultivating balance in the back muscles.
All of the benefits listed above creates a healthy, pain free, stress free environment for your back and spine.
There is SO much tension stored in the back and spine as adults. This special exercise helps release, and remove years of stored and stuck aches and stress.
I will be teaching a special short spine massage workshop for those who would like to learn this powerful life changing exercise. This workshop is also for those who are already practising this in class and want to dive deeper into more variations and skills to make this exercise even more delicious!
This workshop is only for those who have completed the 6 week beginner intro session, are already in a consistent Pilates practice, and do not have any neck, shoulder, or back injuries.

Joseph Pilates was a genius!
I teach authentic Joseph Pilates exercises and repertoire
Not all Pilates studios teach his authentic repertoire.
There’s a flavour of Pilates, but it’s not his work
The one thing I know is that his work is incredible and gives transformational results
He has 8 Pilates principles that gift you with a education on how to move properly with good form
In my experience, embodying these Pilates principles not only gives you a whole new body and mind…
It creates positive change in your everyday life activities, relationships, sleep patterns, mindset, and experiences
It’s SO much more than just a workout
It’s a transformational life experience

Hands in Straps…
Pilates exercises like this one…
Incorporates the whole body!
This exercise uses arms, legs, and core!
This arm focused movement is incredible because it’s gentle and VERY effective
A lot of people complain of neck stress when executing upper body exercises
But, lying down for this arm series creates zero stress on the neck!
Plus, you get to choose the resistance on the reformer based on your ability to move in good form, fire your core correctly, and execute the movement with no pain or stress
Pilates movements are only to be executed in good form…
Therefore you create a body that only feels good and energized after your workout!
The next 6 week Pilates beginner intro group session begins Feb. 26th 7 pm (one spot left) and March 6th 6:50 pm ( three spots left).

How to begin Pilates…
The best place to start Pilates is to join the 6 week beginner group intro session!
Pilates has a learning curve to the incredible method of movement
It takes several sessions to really understand and embody the amazing full body exercises
In 6 weeks you will learn/feel:
1. Techniques to align posture to help eliminate muscle imbalance. This diminishes muscle stress, pain, and injury.
2. How to get relief from back pain by learning how to fire your deep core, or “powerhouse,” through breath, control, and mindful movements.
3. What specific muscle groups you need to stretch. Pilates increases your flexibility, which decreases the chance of injury and pain significantly.
4. How Pilates dramatically reduces stress through breath, and being fully present in the moment as you do the exercises.
5. How to fire your deep core muscles and how to move while you fire your core in many different functional positions.
6. What best serves YOU! When you do the correct movement and only the amount that you can properly execute, you always leave feeling better than when you arrived.
7. Lighter, and cleaner. A session of focused breath cleans and clears out stuck and old stuff from our mind, body, emotions, and spirit. This leaves you feeling the Pilates bliss after class.
This next session will begin January!
