Meet Lindsay, another incredible teacher at Reform

Meet Lindsay, another incredible teacher at Reform Pilates🎉🙌🏼. Not only is she intelligent and bright, she is dedicated to excellence.
Lindsay works hard to be strong and healthy. She watches what she eats and she exercises regularly. What has inspired me about Lindsay is that she has stuck with #contrology despite not having to. Lindsay is tall, with longer legs and shorter torso, many of the exercises at first, would feel impossible simply due to her geometry. BUT she has consistently shown up for herself and dedicated her life in recent months to this practice and to developing her teaching skills.
In my experience the Teachers that are truly called to this work not only transform themselves but the lives of those around them. Thank you Lindsay for the energy and dedication that you have given to Reform Pilates and hi our Classical Pilates community.-Marlene #reformpilatesyvr #reformyourpractice.
Are strong bodies nature or nurture?

What is Contrology? Or what is authentic Pilates?

What is Contrology? Or what is authentic Pilates?
Contrology inherently holds 6 Principle tenets:
Breathing
Centering
Concentration
Control
Flow
Precision
Without these principles and without the goal of achieving these elements, the work, method, workout or whatever you want to call it, will feel different. Just like you can’t learn Ju Jitsu 🤼‍♂️in 1 class or one week end learning authentic Pilates takes time. It’s not for everyone.
Just like there are different kinds of yoga, there are different kinds of Pilates. None are inherently good or bad BUT there are differences. Have you tried #contrology?

This work is very special to me ❤️. #controlog

This work is very special to me ❤️. #contrology is what we do but it underscores something bigger: your commitment to health, perseverance and integrity. It’s how you show up for yourself and for your family and friends. This ‘something bigger’ is a culture that you have helped me create that is inclusive, wholistic and warm. You are, each, an unrelenting force; supportive and strong. I am so humbled by you and proud of you 🤩🥹🥹! It is why #reformpilatesyvr is still around. -Marlene

It’s summer in #vancouver which means it’s time to shed the winter attire 🌞.
Do Pilates. Apart from the benefit of strengthening and lengthening muscles, it increases levels of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain and improves immune system function. Pilates increases stamina so you have more energy to do the things that matter most. It improves your sleep. It strengthens your bones to prevent osteoarthritis and #osteoporosis. It also works your 🍑😅😘

Have you ever attended a workout but then didn’t

Have you ever attended a workout but then didn’t feel anything during it or after? Ruling out attention span, it could be that you’re stabilizing with your joints!😬😨
For about 20 percent of the population, stretching happens easily, requiring little effort. Looking closely at people with hypermobility, stretching is not the issue, joint laxity is.
Pain symptoms related to hypermobility typically include pain in the hips, knees, elbows, fingers, wrists, or neck. To find out more about this condition or to read on to find out if you are hypermobile, follow the link in our story. ☝🏼

Here’s another wall exercise to try out. The focus here is abdominal engagement while building back-line awareness. The back-line I’m referring to includes the heels, glutes, hips, back, shoulders and skull.
🤍
Try rolling down 5 X keeping the pelvis glued to the wall. ☝🏼Remember to sequence one vertebrae at a time on the way down and up. ☝🏼☝🏼Try to do it with the longest possible spine (no slouching).
🤍
Add some arm pumping without letting the body bounce around. Can you stay connected to the back?
🤍
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼Remember to breathe 💨

🔥Wall workouts are a great way to build body aw

🔥Wall workouts are a great way to build body awareness and provide you with proprioceptive feedback. Here’s a quick heart thumper to shift your mental and physical gears at the office or at home.
Walk your feet at least 1FT+ distance from the wall. Keep legs hip width apart, knees forward. Focus on connecting your entire back to the wall while ensuring that your legs are shifted back and deep into the hip socket (90 degrees at the knees). If you’re unsure, reach your sits bones 🍑🍑back as you squat then press your head, shoulders, ribs and back (no arching) against the wall. This will turn those deep abdominals on 🔥! If you only feel quads, you are probably tucking your pelvis ✖️⚠️. Hold for 20 secs and repeat up to 5 X.
For more of a challenge and to incorporate more back muscles add arms by reaching them out to shoulder level against the wall. Rotate palms out and back against the wall while continuing to reach the shoulder blades apart as much as possible.
Leave a comment if you tried this or DM for more tips. 😘
