Pilates Mat – What to Expect
Pilates Mat – What to Expect
Image via Wikipedia It is interesting teaching Pilates at a resort, since we get a fair number of guests who do Pilates regularly and know what it is along with a large number who have never tried it before.

Pilates Allegro Footstrap Question
Q: Lynda, I have an Allegro pilates reformer (which I love!) and just purchased the box and a foot strap. Where is the strap supposed to be attached?

Pilates Studio Space

Rehab Pilates
Yesterday I taught a Rehab Pilates session to a Japanese journalist who told me that Rehab exercise and Pilates were not linked in Japanese culture. You go to a Pilates teacher for exercise, and a physician for any kind of Rehab exercises. Now this is appropriate in acute injury cases, but when you are dealing with imbalances from an injury 20 years...

Anti-Aging Pilates
Pilates is a truly anti-aging exercise. While many types of exercise will strengthen your heart and other muscles and keep you strong, Pilates works on keeping the spine and other joints moving while as strong as possible. In this way you feel great, you feel young. Joseph Pilates once said that we are only as old as our spines. If your back is killing  Read More →
Pilates Holidays
Sometimes you are lucky enough to vacation in a place that has everything you want in one place, such as Pilates, Yoga, Fitness, and a great spa (Parrot Cay is one of those special places). But even if you are simply getting away to a new town or city near you it is possible to get these services with a bit of research. So if you are inclined to a...
