Our Scapula, or shoulder blades, are designed to glide freely! Laying on your side and focusing on one side at a time can make it a lot easier to get some glide, initiate from the shoulder blade, and keep your neck as relaxed as possible.

I'm reading a fantastic book by Katy Bowman, and I wanted to share it with you all. Who doesn't want to age dynamically and gracefully, right? You can get the book on amazon, and here's a podcast where she covers the topic. I find her writing to be very clear, insightful, and easy to apply. I hope you do too! If you ever want to discuss, come find me after class or in your next lesson. or click here :)   I recently read this article through the NPR app on my phone. The overall takeaway is that the risk is still safer than being sedentary. I totally agree! However, while I think it is awesome that they are doing the research and finding the correlations between who is likely to get a fracture and how it may impact their lives…… I completely disagree with their advice. “recognize the limits of your strength, he advises, and maybe work on training the dog not to pull on the leash.” What????? I mean, yes- train your dog, but recognize the limits of your strength? How about any or all of the following: - improve your balance - focus on fall prevention - roll out your feet and do some exercises to improve awareness in your feet - learn how to safely increase strength and mobility I could go on and on, but you get the drift. Balance is a skill. It gets better with practice. You can improve your bone density, strength, and gait. How? Pilates! Want to know more?

So- I often get asked what kind of Pilates is “the best.” As you can imagine, there are lots of differing opinions out there. Mine happens to be that “the best” kind of Pilates is the kind that you can do safely, pain-free, and consistently. If it also feels awesome and is fun or you are encouraged by your progress, then I endorse it even more fully! I have summarized some of the pros and cons below based upon my training, experience, and professional opinion. If you have some thoughts you’d like to share below in the comments, I’d love to see them! Overall Benefits of Pilates
The list goes on and on, but those are some of the highlights. Benefits of Private Lessons:

For those of you who don’t know- my sweet, old boy Winnie passed away in early April. It was sudden & swift, but I was there with him. He was such a wonderful presence in my life and taught me so much about unconditional love, living fully in the moment, & pure joy in the simple things. Here is a picture of him expertly demonstrating pandiculation, which I highly encourage you to try right now! Click here for a great article on it.  |
