Today’s Reformer for Longevity Class on my online platform, Be Well-Stay Well Network. Felt good to teach after my 2 week hiatus due to laryngitis. #pilatessky #pilates #reformerclass #longevity #pilatesworkout

Mosh pits are about to get interesting at revival tours.

Was mesmerized by movement at last night’s Jubilee of Dance Houston that ended with force with Bolero. Mad respect for how dancers have such control & grace. #houstonballet #dance

Last minute Houston Ballet tickets with wifey @probalancetv.bsky.social. Houston culture & events downtown are way underrated. ❤️

I have been without a voice since Thanksgiving & it is beyond frustrating. I asked AI to create an image of a skeleton Pilates teacher depicting this frustration of not being able to teach her online Pilates classes. This is pretty much spot on. Gives me more gratitude for when my voice returns.

Anyone catch any Black Friday sales for your child’s college tuition? I’m out of luck for mine. 😂💸 #nyu #blackfriday

Ha! Gotta share the name of that cream!😉

Stick with it!

You will be the minority but trust me in that I have had some pretty elite male athletes on my Pilates equipment and they appreciated what it did for their bodies.

Get a good teacher. Movements should be efficient rather than trying to “force” anything. It should not hurt.

That made me laugh out loud!

Joint pain associated with depressive symptoms accelerates cognitive decline in the elderly Conclusion comes from study that followed more than 4,000 people aged 50 or older for 12 years; damage is mainly in brain areas associated with memory.

“Both #pain and symptoms of depression act on areas of the brain associated with cognitive processing. Therefore, there’s an overlap of information, causing the brain to become congested and have to delegate some functions to process the pain response and the symptoms of #depression."

It was tough! We experienced it during COVID shutdown.

I know I need it! 😴

Inside your body, aging unfolds at remarkably different rates New research shows aging is not a uniform process. Parts of our bodies start aging earlier than others, right down to our organs and cells.

The first in a series of Post stories I'm writing about the science of aging. I hope we all turn out to be 'brain youthers'

Gotta leave room for a little zest and spiciness!

Gotta play the long game! #activeforlife

I speak like a well educated sailor.

Good call!

I do more wellness than actual treatments but I use a tool called the OOV which has been game changer in teaching quality movement virtually.

What a “social butterfly” you are. Perfect platform for you. 🦋

This is cool.We incorporate standing postural sway with eyes open/closed in many of our classes as part of our “check in” before getting into the “meat” of the workout. Especially fun in our “Konnect the Dots” classes where we incorporate a gentle axial load with a resistance band. #pilates #posture

I’ve never had a problem speaking to groups when I remember that the presentation is about THEM not about me. They don’t care what I am wearing or what I look like. They are there hoping that the talk/speech will motivate, inspire, or help them solve a problem they have that I can help with.

Welcome!

Time to move my spine. 45 min workout in 1min. I love having my reformer at home. No excuse on space. We live in a 1 BR urban loft. It stacks on the wall behind me by the clock in less than 30 sec. (Real time). #pilates #fitness #spacesaver

This past week, I have been glued to the computer since our studio is doing a software switch. My body feels it. “Ergonomic desks”
are a joke if sitting, slightly more tolerable if standing. I’m grabbing my computer and hitting the floor where I can vary my movement as I work and think. #officebod

The importance of including both sexes in preclinical sleep studies and analyses - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - The importance of including both sexes in preclinical sleep studies and analyses

Males and females have profoundly different #sleep patterns. New study in Scientific Reports shows females sleep less, wake up more often and get less restorative sleep than males. Females are still underrepresented in preclinical sleep research. Too bad. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you know where you are in space? Here are some Kneeling rotations from our online “Konnect the Dots” Mat class featuring the Konnections band. A 8’ yellow (light) resistance band can be substituted. #pilates #bewellstaywell #onlinepilates #balancedbody #proprioception #mindfulmovement
