Breathe. Move. Get Stronger!

08/03/2026

"Anita always finds my weak spots," she said with a smile. But she was sweating through her teeth ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Not shown: she worked on the foot corrector, then the Wunda Chair (like PB + J ๐Ÿฅœ๐Ÿ“) and finished on the Tower. We looked at how to get a better twist for criss cross (in the AB series, on top of the Wunda Chair) and a real curl for her rollback at the Tower. "You look like me when you do this exercise!" I exclaimed, and proceeded to assist her exactly where I need assistance to get a deeper curl. It takes one to know one ๐Ÿ˜‚

Book your session today! You never know what we will find. If it's movement related, I will find it! August is the New Year. Imagine if you start now, how much further ahead you will be for the new calendar year! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ



Pilates that makes sense. Classical Pilates with a musician's insight and attention to detail. Creative and analytical approaches to finding your optimal alignment for strength, balance and coordination. Pilates for menopause and post-menopause. A mobility system so effective you feel the benefits for a whole week. Keep doing Pilates and see how much better you feel long-term ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

The reformer stayed at home while I traveled around the world...โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท

How often do you do Pilates?
Me: Every day
(Surprised look)
Me: Some days I only do 5 minutes. Other days, I do a full hour.

And some days, I just pose for the camera ๐Ÿ“ธ

Have you ever had Kong guksu (Bean noodles) in the summer? Or grilled eel? ๐Ÿ˜‹

Travel requires stamina. Every minute of working out and moving your body allows you to go on crazy whirlwind tours and take whatever life throws your way.

Even five minutes goes a long way โฐ๐Ÿš˜

Stay posted for an amazing discovery I made while travelling. It involves the Breathacizer and my core ball! In the meantime, enjoy my mini photo dump.

It's hard to believe that our whole family went to South Korea and came back yesterday ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ทโœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ด

I teasered my way through the relatively short trip. It would take a whole month to talk about what we did in a mere twelve days, so intensely jam-packed was our itinerary. We loved every minute of it.

This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to return to our roots. I hope you too can have such a trip that reconnects you to your roots and brings you full circle.

These pictures are simply the tip of the iceberg!

I was *that close* to buying a Grandma Gimjang Vest. I don't know, maybe next time ๐Ÿคญ I am, after all, not far away from the first of Big Senior Celebrations hehe. I need to dress the part ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿซฐ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ

Enjoy the view!

Has this ever happened to you?๐Ÿค”

My client had been struggling with old injuries. Danielle had badly sprained both ankles and suffered a torn calf muscle, which threw off her alignment.

She had tried Pilates before but took a break from it for a long while. What she didn't realize was that she wasn't getting the full system. An avid tennis player, Danielle wasn't finding enough challenge in her reformer classes ๐ŸŽพ

But together we were able to set a solid foundation by applying the Pilates method systemically and by setting specific goals. Danielle has learned so much about the Pilates system and her own body that she is starting the Real Pilates Teacher Training Program next month.

It has been exciting for me to see her progress beyond her injuries to actually preparing herself to do teacher training.

And now itโ€™s your turn! Ready to discover your movement potential and leave old injuries behind?

Shoot me a DM ๐Ÿ“ฉ
I cannot wait to help you, too!



There's Pilates and then there's Pilates. If you know you know. If you don't, it's all the same. Pilates that makes sense. Leave the burn and learn the work. This is not a HIIT workout. Pilates goes deeper and works your whole body. Pilates is a system and the best mobility method there is. Don't leave me on read, try this out for yourself. Invest in yourself. Future you will thank you ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿฉท
