Happy National Pilates Day 2020 It was the 1920’s that Joseph Pilates was developing his practice of Contrology - A disciplined approach to physical & mental mastery. Here we are in 2020 practicing his methods. We owe a lot to this man I know I do ! #nationalpilatesday #grateful #pilates #pilateslovers #pilatesday2020 #pilatesstrong #pilatesstudio #carlislepapilates

#goodmorningabs no reformer....no problem #exercisestodoathome this is one of my faves on the reformer to help strengthen a flexible lower back and give the low abs a great challenge. The roller works wonderfully & can also be done with a stability ball. TIPS As the legs extend away, work on drawing the tailbone under and lifting from the front of hip bones ...without letting your weight shift back #foamroller #strengthen #balancedbody #selfcare #pilatesforahealthyspine #corestrength #pilatesforallbodies #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforathletes #absworkout #shoulderstrength #pilateslovers #copingwithcovid #pilateslovers #keeponkeepinon #pilatesstudio #carlislepapilates
