Wintering is not about doing nothing, but doing less with more care, with more intention! A set (or 1) heavier weights (I’ve got 15 lbs) and a set of lighter hand or wrist weights (3-5 lbs recommended), AND use your imagination if you don’t have all the props.
No props required- just a chair to support you. Travel day mobility to get things gliding again after a period of stagnation- driving, flying, all categories of sitting still. Move stuck energy, move stuck joints.
A quick reformer on the mat series! Lots of abdominals, hydration for the hip joint, warmth for the body on Christmas eve eve. Using 1 lbs ankle weights and 2 lbs hand or wrist weights!
Day 10 of wintering. The light is finally changing, the hiberation continues. Move intelligently- moving in ways that conserve energy and keep us resilient! Lean into the coziness of the season.
We’re using ankle weights if you’ve got them and a pilates ball or pillow in place of the ball.
Let the rush fall away. Give yourself this gift of non-productivity. A block or a large book for the last movement is all you need.
Just 10 minutes to build awareness, communication, connection through the centre of your body to help the rest of your body move freely! No props required.
Using a set of light weights (1-2 lbs) and a heavier weight- I’m using a 15 pound dumbbell..use whatever you have at home! Move the upper body, find your serratus, your lats, your pecs. Let the muscles of the front and back body communicate.
For office workers, desk-sitters, anyone feeling stuck in the neck or shoulders! We’re circulating lymph with gentle, rhythmic movements, deep breathing, and some self massage at the end.
Second part of a 2-class series on posture. Mid-back connection, abdominal work, and integrating standing movement patterns.
Wrist weights (1-2 lbs) and a block if you have it.
Day 3 of our 12 days of wintering is a weighted class! Lift weights in cashmere to make it cozier <3 We’re using a small band and 1 heavier weight- use what you’ve got.
A Pilates practice to become more aware of our posture, upper body emphasis with whole body integration. Changing our idea from “good posture” to moving often and moving well!
We’re using wrist weights if you have them and 2 blocks!
Day 1 of 12 days of wintering!
December is a wonderful time to be with all that we’ve already accomplished for the year. A season to rest, to winter.
Put your coziest sweater and socks on, grab a blanket and a block. Let’s find deep rest
