The Pilates Spot

Always a pleasure learning from Master trainer

The wait is over our beautiful new piece of classical equipment is finally here.

Say hello to your new handcrafted classical Cadillac. Can't wait for you to try it.

The depth of Romana Pilates is the independence it cultivates.

​The work is designed to grant you an intimate understanding of your body, allowing you to move instinctively and with true empowerment. This method transforms students into independent thinkers, deeply connected to what their bodies need.

​Once the lessons take hold, the student becomes their own teacher.

​Ultimately, genuine teaching is about creating freedom, not dependence.

Revisiting the intermediate work. So many intricacies of the work that I always have a lightbulb moment no matter how many times I do it. Thank you Tamika!

Many common aches—from that tight neck during a plank to knee pain during a squat—come down to "incorrect muscle recruitment."
​Think of it like this: Your running a race, but instead of using powerful mover muscles (your Glutes/Deep Core), it uses the smaller, less efficient muscles (Hip Flexors/Upper Traps) to do the heavy lifting. Over time, those small muscles get overworked, leading to pain and chronic tightness.

​The Fix ➡️ Authentic Pilates!

​1️⃣ RESET the System: Calm down the over-dominant muscles (like those tight hip flexors from sitting).

2️⃣ REWIRE the Brain: Use simple, focused exercises to wake up the correct, inhibited muscles (like your deep core).

3️⃣ REINFORCE the Pattern: Integrate the new, stronger pattern into your full-body movements.

​💡 Try This Simple Check-In: Next time you do a bridge or a squat, ask yourself: Am I firing my glutes first, or am I pushing from my low back/quads? The difference is huge!

.....and when all the teaching is done at the end of the week I go and "Pilates" at 😁.

Always something new to learn about my body.
Thank you .b

Most people can round their back however are you doing it correctly? Or are you just pushing into your spine?

This rollback exercise teaches how to connect into your powerhouse to stretch your back correctly.

Pilates by the marina is seriously the best - so calming.
