🤦🏻‍♀️ Still trying to do wall Pilates 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still trying to do wall Pilates with a YouTube video? Let me show you a better way… Private pilates with an attentive instructor can make all the difference in your movement journey. Here’s why: 1️⃣ You have the full attention of a trained professional. This can not only keep you safe and help you learn good mechanics, but can enhance the effectiveness of your workouts and give you quicker results. 2️⃣ You get to work on YOUR personal goals. Online classes are designed for the masses, but private sessions are designed just for YOU! 3️⃣ Private sessions take into account your specific injuries or limitations, so you won’t have to “sit out” or fast forward through exercises that don’t work for your body or don’t feel accessible right now. ⚡️Don’t sell yourself short with mass-marketed, one-size-fits-all Pilates programs. Invest in your movement journey with a workout routine that empowers you-- body quirks, unique needs, and all! 💌 Request your private session today at the link in my bio, or drop me a DM if you want more info! #pilatesfranklintn #workoutsthatwork #franklintn #franklintnfitness #boutiquepilates #pilatesnearme #privatepilates #personaltraining #customworkouts #pilatesstudionearme #pilatesnashvilletn #brentwoodtn #womanownedbusiness
🤷 Wait, so, what *actually* happens during a on 🤷 Wait, so, what *actually* happens during a one-on-one Pilates session? Here’s what you can expect during a private training session with me: 1️⃣ A brief chat at the beginning to see where you are that day. I’ll usually ask if there are any specific goals you have for the day, aches and pains you’d like to try and address, or other considerations for your body and mind. 2️⃣ Breathing, movement, and mental exercises. We’ll use a variety of tools and techniques to help you sync your mind and body for maximum benefit and relaxation. 3️⃣ Human connection and real time feedback. While there’s certainly value in a solitary workout, I firmly believe that having another human around is valuable, too! Think of me as your guide, here to help yoi tune into what your body is trying to tell you and ask of you. ⚡️ Truthfully, though, every session is different because every PERSON is different! The best way to see how a session feels is, well, to try it! 🤩 Right now, I’m offering new clients an exclusive discount on your first three sessions (DM me for pricing). ⏰ This won’t last, so contact me or request more info at the link in my to book today! #pilatessessions #beginnerpilates #pilatesforbeginners #fitnessforall #movechangeheal #personalizedworkouts #franklintnpilates #pilatesstudio #nashvilletn #brentwoodtn
“I have a spinal fusion. Can I do a traditional “I have a spinal fusion. Can I do a traditional bridge exercise?” I wish there was a simple answer, but in reality, it’s different for every person who’s been through spinal fusion or spine surgery of any kind. If you’re not sure whether bridges are a good choice for your fused spine, no problem! In this clip, I’m demonstrating a bridging alternative. You’ll still get all the benefits of a bridge (like glute and hamstring work, active quad stretching, and a great pelvic stability challenge), without the added pressure on your upper spine or neck. Here, I have a Theraband tied to my studio stall bars. But, you can use any resistance band that’s securely anchored under a door, or try it with no resistance at all! Tuck your toes under (i.e., the bottoms of your feet should face behind you), keep your low abdominals engaged, and let your hamstrings “catch” you as you shift your weight forward and lift your arms. Try it next time you want a simple, whole-body move, and let me know what you think! P.S. Yes, the puppy kisses do help with motivation 🐶 #scoliosissurgery #scoliosisspinalfusion #fusedspine #spinalfusionsurgery #pilatesforspinalfusion #spinalfusionpilates #franklintn #pilatesfranklintn
Lately I’ve been considering… What happens if Lately I’ve been considering… What happens if you use the thing that normally gives you resistance (you know, like Pilates springs)… to give yourself support instead? It’s a totally different sensation to use springs for support, and opens up so many possibilities in movement. And not to get too deep, but I think that applies to life too. What have you been resisting that could actually be a form of support for you? Connection with other people? Some kind of self care action? Rest? Maybe the thing you’ve fought against could be turned into something that fills you up. Food for thought! Want to experience supported movement that works for YOUR body? Let’s chat! My fall schedule is almost full, but I’d love to add you to my last open slot! DM me to book your first private session. #customworkouts #privatepilates #personaltraining #resistanceworkout #supportyourselffirst #loveyourbody #bodyacceptance #franklintn
FINDING FREEDOM When I first started exercising r FINDING FREEDOM When I first started exercising regularly, I was hyper-focused on trying to look as “normal” as possible. I wanted my movement to be Instagram-worthy. Ballerina-esque. Smooth, fluid, beautiful. And when I would see pictures of videos of myself during Pilates instructor training, I would cringe. I didn’t move like other people. I didn’t roll. I could only hinge. I didn’t arch my spine. The best I could do was stand up tall. I didn’t twist. I… mostly just stood there and felt sorry for myself when I couldn’t force my body into a shape. So what changed? It might surprise you… I grieved. After so much time of denying that my body was different from before, I finally allowed myself the time and space to grieve. To grieve the way my body moved and felt before surgery. To grieve the way I’d lived before. To grieve my own unmet expectations of my body. To grieve the idea of perfection. I strongly believe grief is the catalyst to acceptance, whether that’s acceptance of your body, your circumstances, your story, or something else. Why am I posting about this on a fitness account? Because you’re not just working out a body. When you move, you’re caring for a whole person: mind, body, soul. And sure, endorphin highs from workouts are wonderful and real (please go laugh at my last reel with me!). But grief in movement is real, too. And it’s okay. More than okay- it’s healing. Let it all flow. Show up for yourself—your WHOLE self— in your movement practice.
