So true!

This week, we're inviting you to take a step back from your regular movement practice and ask yourself the simple question: "Do I know what makes this movement healthy?" If the answer is anything but a resounding "Yes!" then this is an open invitation to deepen your understanding of healthy function and your anatomical design.

Expanding your knowledge on how the body works is one of the keys to deeper embodiment and greater wellbeing.

Balanced Body Master Instructor and Olympian Pete Pallai (@mypilateslondon) shows us how to adapt Pilates apparatus & accessories to create a familiar environment for fitness lovers looking to expand their movement horizons. ☀️🏋️‍♀️ Want to learn more about how Pilates can up-level your clients' fitness routines? Join us on November 19th for a full-day virtual workshop in our Integrated Movement Series: Pilates Meets Fitness. Learn more & register here: https://bit.ly/3CUTc0c

I’m in!

Steve cut my hair last Thursday night and while doing so, took some pictures. That head tilt to the right was still there and staring me in the face. That's the same head tilt that let's me know it is there in the Neck Pull. Such a huge stretch and conscious letting go that opens things up like no other...all the way down to my tail!

Return to RETURN TO LIFE is coming upon Tuesday with our new schedule. I'm looking in depth at the original 34, plus putting some video conversations about a few of the exercises on YouTube at jo.pilatestreehouse. I hope you will join me!

This Wednesday, we are looking through the original 34. The last two weeks have been working on the groupings up to Spine Stretch and then up to Neck Pull. We will continue to build on these, looking at the why's and the what's and letting our body figure out our own how, to get into the later. How much we add each time is not as important as getting these familiar (not perfect) in our body.

Starting in May, this class will be on Tuesdays at 12:30pm CST

Joining!

Going back to the original 34, looking at them with a fascial lens.
Every Wednesday we look with detail.
Inspired by my daily practice during March Matness. So many new found details to enhance the whole.

I hope you will join me!

Hello. Recently a friend asked me why I blocked them. I was confused. I checked just in case and there were no blocked people on my list. Then I see this. Hmmm, I am not the only one. So now I am fixing my blocked posts. I wondered where everybody had been! This is good to know. It's ridiculous to have 450 friends and only 25 are allowed to see posts.
I ignored this post earlier because I didn’t think it worked. It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts. So hold your finger down anywhere in this post and "copy" will pop up. Click "copy". Then go to your page, start a new post, and put your finger anywhere in the blank field. "Paste" will pop up and click "paste". This will bypass the system.
If you are reading this message, do me a favor and leave me a quick comment...a "hello," a sticker, whatever you want, so you will appear in my newsfeed.

Finally an article on fascia in a fairly mainstream magazine. Thomas Meyers is quoted and Feldenkrais is mentioned. We’re getting there!
