You see it you teach it is like saying you break it you buy it.

Not so simple!

Lisa Liles and I played around with this idea for about 15 minutes which is not enough time to throw jt at someone when the variables were off.

My reformer strap has more pull than hers because I am shorter.

Her legs are longer so sitting staggered on the reformer box did not make her grip the way I did.

We both loved the roll back and the rotations, but figured the strap had to cross.

All this to say it is important to understand not everyone will feel an exercise the way you do.

And if you try for yourself, use a red spring.

Am I doing this right?

It's easy to get caught up in the choreography of movement rather than what is happening in your brain.

We are working on so many things here including:
👉Dual tasking
👉Error detection
👉Dynamic core
👉Stability and mobility

Brain Body Approach Misha and I focus both are dancers, we are coordinated and we practice movement daily and still we can make errors.

In my upcoming FitSprings training we work on what the client is experiencing, what capabilities are we working towards when variables change. Join me Nov 7-8!

When how is your body doing today is a loaded question.

There will be that moment someone walks into your studio and has beef with their back, neck, shoulders, knees and toes.

We can hyper fixate on the "issue" and also we can move.

In movements like this Cadillac series I can see your limitations. I can also stand next to you and be thinking about why I don't have coffee nearby.

Moving is always going to make you feel better. So is coffee....

You can teach Pilates chair for years and become really good at all the exercises you know.

You can also perfect a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but what if someone is allergic and goes into shock?

Actually that is a bad question because it depends on the person...
but sometimes your clients need a shock to their system like a different set up.

The goal isn't to change the repertoire to make it different for the hell of it. It's to keep exploring, understanding what you are asking of the body and become a better teacher in the process.

As for nut allergies, I am probably not your safe space.

Experience doesn't mean you have exhausted an idea.

Sometimes it means you see more possibilities, ask better questions and understand more about what you are trying to teach.

This move was one I created for my reformer box workshops back in 2018.

I learned it worked on my original reformer and when I taught on different ones with different boxes and straps it required adaptations.

One of the things I love about teaching workshops is sharing what I have learned and helping other teachers look beyond the familiar.

My next FitSprings Method Training is Nov 7-8 in San Francisco.
You don't need to own FitSprings to attend.

According to the Pilates Police:
Violations are way up for no springs reformer posts.

Most wanted in the industry is:
Athletic Reformer + Pilates and Bonnie Zeitner | Pilates Instructor & Mentor for encouraging no springs posts all month.

Those who join in may get called out and also may have more fun and learn something new.

Are you a good cop or bad cop? Play along and join in!

Why do I revisit old series?

In 2021 this was an ideation of a "wagging the tail" exercise.

Now I look at it and see how what needs to happen in my body to pull the strap across or stabilize the opposite side.

I ask myself who it might help and what will their body learn.

Playtime doesn't always lead to new or upgraded series, but it does give me time to push myself to think in new ways.

How much time a week do you put into your play and practice?

The setup isn’t gospel.

Just because you learned a Pilates exercise one way doesn’t mean you can’t question it.

You can do Side Overs wrong 10 times till Sunday. I’ve watched people grab their backs, lose the position, and keep going in a group class.

Or you can ask a better question:

Can I set this reformer "short box series" up so it’s harder to do badly?

You become a better teacher when you question what you learned then play around and practice new ideas and see what works best for the body in front of you.

I questioned why we don't use springs for arms and legs at the same time or have that option and created FitSprings

For those of you who question what you learn and want to dig deeper, my next training is November 7-8!
Join me in San Francisco.
