A Tough Start to 2019 and the Importance of Self Care

Feb 15 I was skiing in Aspen and on my final day skiing I fell, my first fall in 5 days. As I was going down I felt a pop in my knee and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get up.

May 30 I was waiting to turn left, blinker on and I was rear ended by a distracted driver- he didn’t even brake- resulting in whiplash a concussion and my car being totaled.

My favorite Pilates exercise is…

 

By: Liz Smythe

"So you just haven't lived until you try elephant on the chair! It's very hard for me to pick a favorite Pilates exercise, but that one is right at the top of the list. It makes me smile just thinking about it! I love the challenge of the balance, the intensity of the abdominal work and the fantastic stretch through the back.

“Pilates an Effective Exercise, especially if you’re pregnant”

We love seeing our pregnant clients staying healthy and safe during their pregnancy so when we came across this article recently, we were so thrilled with what this instructor is saying!

"One question I get asked all the time by women who are pregnant: “Is Pilates safe to do?”

And my response is: YES! During pregnancy it is important to exercise regularly and most importantly, safely.

Inspiring testimonial from our amazing, post-pregnancy client!

We love hearing inspiring stories from our clients about their success and experience with Pilates at Equilibrium! Jamie Baker, a client since spring of 2014 wrote to us after having her sweet baby boy. During her pregnancy, Jamie consistently came to weekly private sessions with Christine & Elissha and attended Xtend Barre classes with Liz.
