Move Pilates Bend

🤫 It’s no secret that a regular exercise routine improves our physical and mental wellbeing, and Pilates is a gold standard for this. ⭐️
Pilates can also positively benefit our emotional state. 🧘

In your Pilates practice, you surrender to grounding yourself for that hour which helps you to stay grounded in other areas of your life. 🤲🏽

This can help you better manage the pressures and stressors in your life, your career, your relationships… everything.
Just showing up, being present, checking into yourself benefits you.

⏰ For one hour, you dedicate the time to yourself, your health and your well-being. And that hour helps you show up for yourself and everyone in your life with a higher level of patience and grace.🕊️

My goal as the owner of Move Pilates Bend is to bring to the clients what Pilates brings to me.

We offer small classes in a naturally lit space with ceiling to floor windows 🪟(but they are tinted so you don’t feel like you are in a fishbowl 🙂), we offer no judgment, only encouragement. 🙌🏼

We as teachers honor where you are at, and challenge you to exceed your own expectations safely. We hope you leave with the realization that you are a breathing human who can reach further and deeper than you thought. 💭

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙜𝙖 & 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨?

Pilates is 𝙣𝙤𝙩 the same as yoga.

They are very different disciplines that can highly complement one another. Both can be transformational for the body and mind.

🔵 𝙔𝙤𝙜𝙖 is a holistic discipline originating from ancient India with a greater emphasis on spiritual practice. The intention of yoga is to deeply 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵 with the 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 and 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 by holding and advancing physical poses while focusing on breath and are primarily executed on the mat. Yoga has many physical, emotional and mental benefits for all who practice.

🔵 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨, originally known as Contrology, is a newer practice, originated from German-born Joseph Pilates in the 20th century and is more physically focused with targeted exercises on the mat and resistance-based equipment such as the Reformer to improve strength, flexibility, and control of the body. Joseph Pilates taught the use of the mind to 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 the muscles and control the movements, with a focus on core strength at its center.

The focus and concentration required in both yoga and Pilates keep you anchored in the moment and out of the distractions of the day helping to create space in the mind. 🧠

A recent article about Harry Styles’ exercise regime highlighted the benefits of Pilates. There are many benefits to be had from Pilates:

✔️ Pilates helps improve muscular balance which equates to more strength.

✔️ You can lift more weight without pain in your lower back or joints.

✔️ Your mobility and flexibility increases, allowing muscles and joints to breathe more.

This gives a better range of movement so you can squat deeper, for example:

🔘 You can lengthen and shorten muscle fiber more efficiently, which helps to build a long lasting better body, or build a better in less time. 🕚

🔘 Pilates enhances overall training performance in all other sports including boxing, weightlifting, football, and golf. 🥊🏋️🏈🏌️‍♀️

🔘 You can breathe better as Pilates exercises help increase lung capacity, which in turn increases stamina. ⬆️🫁

🔘 Injury prevention and rehab from an injury. 🚫🤕

Pilates is for everybody! 🎅🏼👻

All people - from top athletes and performers to office workers, students, gym goers, moms and dads - use Pilates to enhance their current training regime, limit injuries, lose weight, get stronger, increase mobility and balance, and improve their mental health. 🧠

With weight training, we tend to work only larger muscle groups in isolation. Pilates has a flow that mobilizes the joints and targets all muscles, not just the larger and more dominant muscles. Pilates targets the full body.
