Stay centered, focused and well this holiday season! Join us for Reformer class! www.studiobpilates.com

The lifeline of a Pilates studio, clinic, or gym facility is certified, knowledgeable teachers. With COVID still among us, global instability, and economic inflation, there is HUGE demand for Pilates instructors as people look for exercise that keeps their mind & body healthy and connected. 🤸‍♀️

In Part 2 of the Become a Pilates Instructor series on The Core, Balanced Body Director of Education Joy Puleo outlines the opportunities certification from a reputable Pilates education program can provide. 📝

One of our teacher training students wanted to review today. Such a pleasure working with you Annie!

This weekend we were busy with our Anatomy in Three Dimensions course. These movement pros, (and the three who joined us online) built the muscle anatomy from the elbows to the knees while learning joint actions, bony landmarks, biomechanics and more. Our brains are full and inspired! The next course for movement professionals and Pilates Teachers in training will be Movement Principles, September 10th and 11th - more info online! •

The Pilates Chair is a simple yet highly versatile piece of equipment that offers spring loaded challenges and movement for the whole body. A workout on the Chair can be designed for rehab or performance conditioning, and everything in between. Pictured is Molly Jo beautifully demonstrating Step Downs at a recent Balanced Body Chair training.

Your friendly reminder of the day...😉

A consistent Pilates practice improves posture by enhancing spinal, scapular, and joint flexibility while strengthening shoulders, lower back, and abdominal musculature ⚡️💥.

Just in case you needed one more reason to show up to Pilates today 👊🏼 😀

Awareness changes everything…. •

Pilates Teacher Training students and are learning to incorporate the foam roller, Pilates Ring, therabands and small balls for extra support and proprioceptive challenges. Whether you are using Pilates as mindful movement, core work, post rehab exercise or neuromuscular reeducation - the variety is endless!

What is the difference between exercise and a mindful movement practice? To us, a mindful movement practice goes beyond the act of exercise to provide awareness, alignment and the physical sensation of connection within your musculoskeletal structure as well as to the world around you. A movement practice sets the foundation to live life to your fullest.

Reformer class is one of the best ways to experience elongation, core activation, and organic movement in your body. Working together in-studio develops community and friendship.

In an effort to keep everyone safe, comfortable and ‘in-studio’ during this Covid-19 surge we will require masks for this week and next.

We know the best way to practice mindful movement is mask-free, and we hope to be back to our mask optional approach very soon.

Thanks to my amazing moving crew (Bergen Beversdorf and Shane Beversdorf) we have a fresh set-up for 2022, and hopefully a more functional spot for online teaching.

Santa’s working on his core before the big night!

I want to take a moment and thank our amazing teachers. Pamela, Peg, Gina, Shannon, Lyn and Amy H. - whether you teach full-time, part-time or occasional, online or in-person; your presence helps create the community centered atmosphere at Studio B. This has been my home for more than fifteen years and I could not do it without you. My deepest thanks. ~Amy
