P31 Pilates

🗣️Your mind-body connection starts with your core.

It supports you through more of your day than you may realize.

Getting out of bed, standing up from the couch, stepping out of the car, maintaining your balance; Your core helps stabilize and control your body through all of it.

It isn’t just about having strong abdominal muscles, it’s about the connection between your breath, your body, and how everything works together.

That’s why Connection is the first area of our P31 Roadmap, and why our Core Foudations class was created.

We need to slow things down so you can understand what you SHOULD be feeling and learn how to use your core more effectively.

If this is one of those movements that makes you wince, that’s okay. The first step is acknowledging where you are, and the next is doing something about it.

💕Core Foundations - Fridays at 9:30 AM

The difference is in the details💞

At P31, we pride ourselves on having instructors who truly care about every student who walks through our doors.

It’s easy to cue a movement, but taking the time to understand each individual body is what matters most.

We walk around, pay attention, offer adjustments and help make each movement accessible so you can get the most out of your class.

You’re never just another person in class at P31🫂.

Putting the play back in Pilates😅

How’d we do?

I bet you didn’t know tight hamstrings may be contributing to your lower back discomfort👀

When your hamstrings feel tight, they can affect the way your hips and pelvis move, creating added tension through your lower back.

This supported stretch encourages length and mobility

1️⃣ Keep your extended leg active
2️⃣ Relax your shoulders
3️⃣ Breathe deeply as you ease into the stretch

And believe me, I’ve seen a lot🤪

After 20+ years as a Nurse and Pilates instructor, I’ve watched the practice evolve in so many ways🥹 but the foundations remain the same.

Pilates doesn’t need to be trendy, flashy, or advanced to be effective. It’s about creating a stronger connection with your body, supporting your mobility, and building strength that carries into your everyday life.

Come as a beginner, come with questions, come ready to learn more about the body you live in every day.

We’ll build from there🫂

The versatility is unmatched👏

We love using resistance bands to deepen a stretch, create gentle resistance, or add support where it’s needed.

Give this movement a try to take your side bend to the next level😉

No resistance band? Try using:
✨A towel
✨A belt
✨A yoga strap or rope

As always, move within a range that feels good for your body🫂
