👨‍💼: But pilates is really for women though, right?
.
🤗: Right.... just looking at this guy 👉 @rodrigonano, you can tell that pilates is really just gentle exercise aimed at pregnant ladies 🤣🤣
.
Nope!
.
While the pilates system is a great way to workout for lots of different bodies, we don't just mean pregnant ladies and injured students. It's great for strong, healthy students as well 👏👏👏
.
By the way, when asked on a recent course what exercise does he do, Rodrigo said only pilates 😍
.
Have a look at his Instagram page @rodrigonano to see him hard at work! 💯🤴 And stay tuned... men's only practice starts in June! 🤗🤗🤗

😁: Pilates is great, but I want to work out my upper body.
.
🤗: Um 🤣🤣🤣
.
It's funny to me the ideas of what pilates is and isn't that I hear from want-to-be new students.
.
Let's save all of our time here:
.
✔ Pilates is a great workout for your whole body (arms included!)
.
✔ Yes, men can and should practice too. After all, it was an exercise system, designed by a man, for men.
.
✔ Yes, you are a beginner even if you have done yoga before. They aren't the same thing. Or even that similar for that matter.
.
✔ You will sweat. It is a workout and even the basic system can be a challenge for experienced practitioners.
.
✔ And no, I'm not a physio/osteo/chiro/doctor. I teach a system of exercise. If you have a medical issue that needs medical attention, do that first before coming to me.
.
We have just a few spots left in our beginner courses that start this week, so if you have been thinking you might like what we do and want to give it a try, now is the time to join.

🐘 Elephant 🐘
.
This exercise is one of the fun surprises of the basic system.
.
Fun 👉 well, any exercise named after an animal is a good one in my book 🤣 and a surprise because it looks super easy but in reality is surprisingly challenging 👏👏👏.
.
Following footwork and the hundred it helps you to elongate and stretch the whole back body while you lift your powerhouse to move the carriage against and with resistance.
.
✔ Shoulder strength and stability.
.
✔ Whole spine length and stretch.
.
✔ Hamstring, calf and ankle stretch.
.
✔ Whole body levitation 🤣.
.
That's right folks, you get your powerhouse right up on that ceiling whilst in the shape of an elephant 🤗.
.
If you think you'd like to learn this exercise, why not try a 1-to-1 lesson with me this month? I'm offering new students a special rate of £60 to get you started.

Good stuff 😍
.
@therealpilates had a great post recently about the ABC model of classical pilates. Did you see it? 🤓
.
This "ABC" model "is a structure for customised sessions passed down through lineage. Here's what you can expect:
.
A. The Reformer - start with your Footwork and lay the foundation of working the body against resistance.
.
B. The Mat - Bring all that resistance work into your own body with the use of gravity.
.
C. What YOU need - all the juicy stuff you noticed in your "A" and "B", what's weak, what's overdeveloped, what's misaligned.

The ABC model ensures that every client strikes the correct balance of exercises... they are in their own pilates process."
.
👉 This is classical pilates. This is why instead of group classes with everyone more or less doing the same exercise while being "driven" or shouted at by an instructor, we offer Open Practice, where you are guided through the work your body needs, in your own time... your own practice. .
We'd love for you to come experience the benefits of pilates beyond the mat. New students get a special rate on 1-to-1 lessons. 👏👏👏

🤔: I've never tried pilates before. I'm not sure what to expect.
.
🤗: Well, for starters, pilates is a system of exercise designed by Joseph pilates to balance your body and mind. 🤓
.
You will follow an order of exercises, each with specific purpose but all with the common goal to strengthen your muscles and focus your mind.
.
You will use specifically designed equipment to help you find your body's optimum position for your exercises, which will support you as you move.
.
You will sweat.
.
Come wearing something that allows you to move freely but not so freely that you show us bits best left covered 🙈 Leggings or joggers and a t-shirt work just fine 😬
.
👉 What questions do you have about starting or continuing your own practice? .

Hey you runners! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️Tight hamstrings and hips got you spending quality time with your foam roller... but notice how relief is short lived? 😑
.
Classical pilates is a great way to build strength and stability where you need it most. You'll shave minutes off your time... and hours spent on that roller 🤣
.
The best way to see what we do and how pilates can help you train for your favorite sport is to give it a go 👉 Dee is offering all new students their first 1-to-1 lesson for just £50! .

👋: When is your next classical pilates thing for teachers?
.
🤗: Um. Every day. That's what I do. It's my jam. 🤣🤣🤣
.
Whether you are already well into your classical practice or just enjoy a little taste now and again, I run monthly group classes and open practice, just for other teachers :)
.
Group classes are a good fit when you just want to move with other advanced practitioners and enjoy a sweaty workout. 🤠🤠🤠
.
Open practice offers you the opportunity to get in a proper "proper" 🤓 pilates workout where you will follow your own programme on all of our shiny happy gratz equipment.😍
.
Whether you are classical or contemporary, it's a nice way to meet and work out with other teachers who all love the work!

What a day! Excited x 17 to have @brookeessapen in the studio for a special workshop yesterday!

We had teachers join us from all branches of the pilates tree who are all curious and passionate about the classical work 😍😍😍 Whether you are just getting into "the good stuff" or have bags of experience practicing the classical method, Brooke's approachable and confident style deliver the goods in a way that allows teachers to not just understand the method in a deeper way, but make it their own.
Highly recommend getting yourself to a workshop with Brooke pronto - even better if it's with us again soon 🤣

So interesting thing 👉 the equipment is kind of a big deal when you're practicing pilates.

In addition to being the most awkward ice-breaker ever with students... the mailman... carpet installation guys... "you *do* know that it looks a little '50 Shades' in here" 🤣 It actually is an important part of the method 🤓
But didn't Joe teach mat-based group classes? Sure. You can even find videos and photos of him teaching young, fit, professional dancers a mat workout. I've never heard of him running a mat class for "back care" however...🤔 BUT 😈 If his method was complete on the mat alone, why didn't he just stop there? 🤔

Because maybe it's not 😶

He designed some pretty cool equipment and gadgets to accompany his exercises way before erotic novels became main-stream commuter reading. 🤗

All of it designed to help you perform the exercises correctly and safely 👉 This second part is especially important if you have some kind of injury or are just getting your pilates practice started❗

A fully equipped classical pilates studio has equipment specifically designed by Joseph Pilates to support you where you need it while challenging your weaknesses when practicing his exercises, so that you get stronger, safely.

If you've never tried the full system - come see what you've been missing! 😍😍😍 I'm running three courses just for beginners that all start in April, as well as a special 4-week Masterclass Series specifically designed to get you moving towards all of the benefits of a pilates practice. 📅

Plus don't forget your first 1-to-1 lesson is just £50 😘

🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️Are you thinking about starting a classical pilates practice?
One of the things we love about classical pilates is that the method is an excellent match for your fitness level 👉 no matter where that is 😍

So, if you have been thinking you might like to start a practice but feel a bit intimidated because maybe you haven't worked out in a while (or ever!), we've planned a 4-week series to help you get started.

In our April Masterclass Series, we look at purposeful pre-pilates exercises and how they fit into a basic mat practice.
In a small group (max 5 students), you will learn exercises that you can do at home to improve abdominal strength, lumbopelvic stability, shoulder strength and mobility, as well as exercises that will help you find the power in your powerhouse! 💪 📅 This series meets all Wednesdays in April at 7pm.
