To The Core

Spring session: officially in the books! ✅ Summer session: currently loading... ☀️

To prepare for an epic summer, the studio will be closed from June 26th through July 5th. We’re giving our incredible staff some well-deserved time to trade their studio gear and toesox for sunglasses and total relaxation.

Curious what we're up to during the break? Here is a totally accurate sneak peek at our staff's official plans:

Donna: Kayaking, golfing, boating and swimming at the lake.... basically anything outside!

Lorelie: Banff and Jasper here I come!

Brooke: Campfire, a nice drink, some art projects, and more than a few books.

Karen: No plans or schedule, staying home, and some downtime. Hopefully avoiding all notifications as much as possible!

Megan: Me, the kids, and the dinos in Drumheller 😎

Collette: My plan is to have no plan. lol.

We will miss you all, but we can't wait to see you back and completely recharged for the summer session starting July 6th! Have a wonderful break! 👋✨

Breathing is something we do without thinking… until it becomes difficult.

For many people living with asthma, COPD, or other breathing challenges, every breath can feel like work.

One of the foundational principles of Pilates is breathwork. Pilates breathing helps improve awareness, rib mobility, posture, and control - all of which can support healthier breathing patterns and lung function.

It’s not just about exercise.

It’s about learning how to move and breathe more efficiently in everyday life.

If you’ve been struggling with tension, shallow breathing, posture, or reduced lung capacity, Pilates may help more than you realize.

Book a one-on-one consult to learn how Pilates can support your breathing, movement, and overall quality of life.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at To The Core Pilates & Nutrition ... take #2! 🎬 (lol)

Two weeks ago we posted an early Happy Father Day's post and got the dates mixed up.. BUT the men and fathers in our life are so nice they deserve to be celebrated twice anyways!

Today we celebrate the men who care deeply, work hard, and love their families in all the everyday ways that often go unnoticed. 💙

Consistency is the ultimate summer accessory.

It’s tempting to take a total vacation from your routine when July hits, but staying consistent with your Pilates practice is the secret to actually enjoying your summer.

Think about it: hiking, traveling, swimming, patio sitting, or just keeping up with the kids... summer is active. When you stay consistent with your practice through July and August, you aren't just "working out." You’re building the core strength, mobility, and stamina you need to say yes to every summer adventure without waking up sore the next day.

Regular movement keeps your energy up, keeps those nagging aches away, and ensures you feel strong and confident in your body all season long.

You don't have to choose between summer fun and your practice, we designed our schedule to give you the best of both worlds!

🗓️ The Details:

Choose: Sign up for 6, 7, or 8 weeks of classes through July and August.

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the heart and soul of our studio, Donna Schellenberg!

If you've ever stepped foot in the studio you know Donna's laugh can brighten the entire room. She wears so many hats in the community, in the studio, and at home we want to celebrate how amazing she is today :)

When she isn't juggling a million things in the studio, taking a new course, or volunteering in the community you can usually find her barefoot outside enjoying the garden or on the deck at the lake.

Donna thank you for everything you do for our team, our clients, and our community. We hope your day is filled with as much joy as you give to everyone around you. Help us wish her the happiest of birthdays below!

Just four weeks of consistent Pilates practice may significantly reduce low back pain by up to 58%.

Why?

Because Pilates focuses on several key elements that directly support spinal health and movement quality:

• strengthening deep core stabilizer muscles
• improving posture and alignment
• supporting spinal flexibility and mobility
• creating better mind-body awareness through controlled movement and breathing

Pilates is an effective, low-impact, natural approach to pain management and overall movement health.

Consistency matters more than intensity. Even a few weeks of regular practice can make a noticeable difference.
