This audio,”Pilates with Ring and Foam Roller Audio”, begins gently with the Magic Circle. Lynda has you move from an easy and gentle waking up of the hips, inner & outer thighs, to some shoulder girdle mobilization and bicep/tricep things that really get into the smaller muscle groups often overlooked by larger movements done with […]
Blogs from our participants

Let’s talk about…. Progression!
I’ve been teaching for nearly a decade, nearly 15,000 hours of hands on time with clients. Not all that long in comparison to many teachers, but long enough to have seen a few things both in my own studio and in others. As a teacher trainer, It is incredibly important to instil in new teachers the […]
Pilates is Positivity
Finally, that exercise you have been trying to do for so long, suddenly succeeds! You’re extremely happy, but how long does that last? The next week, when you try that exercise again and you succeed, are you still that happy? Losing a positive feeling also happened to me in my normal life, not only when […]
Of course size matters!
I was just at at workshop where we had taken my classical reformer and used it side by side a contemporary model reformer, no I’m not going to go there and bag on other manufacturers designs, as a matter of fact, I’m friends with manufacturers of both types of apparatus, and I have owned and […]
PAA CONFERENCE 2015 – A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!
It’s been 3 week days now since we shared a great time together at the Pilates Alliance Australasia Conference 2015. It’s over but certainly not forgotten, as emails continue to come in from presenters and motivated delegates. I’m please to say that registrations surpassed any other year to date and the feedback has been overwhelmingly […]
The Art of Cuing
I went to the PMA and this is what the experience made me think about… Cuing can be an Expressionist, Minimalist, Abstract, Formal, Hyper-realist and a Surreal Art form. And that is Art with a capital A. Personally, I fall somewhere between staunch minimalism and a black hole in terms of language. Think Donald Judd […]
Pilates in Canada
Pilates in Canada. Seems like a pretty neutral statement. How about ‘Authentic Pilates in Canada’? Now that is raising eyebrows! (perhaps it will raise temperatures enough to warm us through the upcoming cold Canadian winter!) With one set of apprentices now graduated and teaching, we have embarked on a second round in 2015. Our Toronto […]

The Three Anchors of the Pelvis: The Golden Triangle
Summer has gotten me off track, folks. I’ve been on vacation (yes, I actually took a vacation this year!) in the mountains, where it was much cooler than the 150° heat and 180% relative humidity of Southwest Florida. Ok…that might be a slight exaggeration of the temperature… The dog days of summer have hit with […]
TIME TO UPDATE YOUR STUDIO?
It’s a wonderful feeling to update your Pilates studio making it fresh and alive. I recently went through this exercise and have taken a sigh of relief that the end is almost in sight! I say almost because despite having installed my final piece of Pilates equipment, I went that extra mile to expand my space […]
