Galveston Pilates

Working on the advanced classical order. Thigh stretch with arch is so delightfully difficult.

When everyone in class cancels, and one person gets a private session, you let her have little Cadillac fun!

No filters, no flair, no fake Pilates. Just a classical side sit-up where those obliques have to WORK. All three are different ages and levels, and they all understand the importance of not doing exercises the lazy way.

Don’t fall! Is it even Pilates if you’ve never used a pedipole? This is a beautiful and satisfying stretch, you just gotta keep your balance.

Be strong, have fun, change your perspective.

When you wear out the evening class halfway through. I told them to go into rest position before the next exercise, this is what they did instead. There might have been some moaning. I’m hiding their faces to protect the innocent…..

From backstroke to teaser, you’re gonna build those strong abdominals. Pilates isn’t like any other form of exercise!

Sometimes Pilates lets yo be a kid again, especially when you miss doing cartwheels!

We are still putting finishing touches on after the renovation, but the new floors are fabulous and all the students love them! I went with an almost knot-free hickory with a custom grey brown stain. Super hard wood that can tolerate tons of furniture movement for another 130+ years. I’ll take full studio shots once everything is done.

The studio has been insanely hoppin’ this summer! It’s nice to remember that Pilates isn’t always about the go, go, go. Sometimes it’s about the pause in the stretch!
