Pilates With Alicia

A little sneak PAUSE…

In two weeks, we’re launching a brand-new four-week July series designed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

As hormones shift, the way we recover, build muscle and respond to exercise can change. Maintaining strength becomes one of the most important investments we can make in our future health.

PAUSE isn’t a lifting class.

It’s the class that supports the lift.

We’ll build the mobility, stability, balance and core strength that support squats, deadlifts, presses and carries; whether you already strength train or you’re building the confidence to begin.

Think of it as the work behind the work.

Because strong muscles support strong bones.

And strong women support each other.

TODAY’S THE DAY, LADIES.

Pelvic Floor Connection is happening at 12:00 PM.

45 minutes. $5. Zero shame.

We’re talking breath, deep core, hips, leaks, pressure, pleasure and why your pelvic floor deserves more attention than it usually gets.

Fun fact: your pelvic floor should not be clenched all day like it’s holding a grudge.

This is not 45 minutes of Kegels.

We’ll move, laugh, learn and leave feeling stronger, more connected and slightly more powerful.

Open House vibes. Sexy core energy.

The little things matter.

A pretty yoga mat covered in ocean waves because swimming, staring at the ocean, and jumping into a lake will always feel like home to me.

Getting to class 30 minutes early to set the room, test the music, organize the props, and make sure everything feels right before anyone walks through the door.

The first deep breath. The perfect song coming on at exactly the right moment. Someone laughing through a hard exercise. Someone realizing their body can do more than they thought.

A breath can change how you move.

A pelvic tilt can help build a strong, connected core.

A welcoming room can help someone feel safe enough to try.

Big changes do not always arrive loudly. Sometimes they look like ocean waves on a yoga mat, a carefully prepared space, and one small movement done with intention.

It sold out the last time we ran it, so we’re bringing it back.

This Saturday, we’re slowing things down, tuning in, and building strength from the inside out.

Pelvic Floor Connection is all about learning how your breath, core, and pelvic floor work together to create more strength, stability, control, and confidence in the way you move every day.

It’s subtle. It’s powerful. And yes, control is sexy.

This special class is only $5 as part of Union 108’s June Open House.

Come ready to connect.

My heart is overflowing. What a very cool experience.

Thank you, City of Om, for welcoming me into your family and giving me the opportunity to share a little Morning Club energy under that beautiful white tent.

And thank you to the wonderful group who tolerated my exhausting enthusiasm, terrible puns, reverse planks and constant reminders to breathe. You showed up ready to move, laugh, try something new and embrace every challenge I threw your way. Teaching a group that open, joyful and supportive made this experience even more special.

If you had told past Alicia that she would become a Pilates instructor—and one day teach at City of Om—she never would have believed you. Yet there I was, sharing my energy, passion and a skill I once never imagined having.

Take the chances, friends. Do the thing that makes you nervous. Step outside the version of yourself you have always known.

I promise you, it is worth it.

And if you loved Saturday's class, come visit me and my friends next weekend at the Union 108 Open House. Every class is only $5, but registration is required. Come move, connect and experience a little more of the magic.
