Pilates and Social Media – Finding our Humanity Again
Jessica | 
“That is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.” “She does not look like a Pilates instructor.” “You clearly do not know what you are doing.” These are only three of the many things I’ve read on social media over the past two weeks. These are not political posts. These are not posts meant to […]
How to Become a Pilates Teacher
Jessica | 
I love talking to people about getting a Pilates certification and how to become a Pilates teacher. It is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself and my career, and I would encourage anyone to follow their passion if it is leading them in this direction. That being said, the road to […]

10 Minute HIIT Workout With Pilates!
Jessica | 
This HIIT workout is no joke, my friends. (You’ll know this as soon as you watch the video and hear how heavy my breathing is). It will make you breathless and sweaty in the best way possible! The premise of high intensity interval training workouts (HIIT) is that you are making your body work at […]
Pilates Day – Joy, Community and Great Prizes!
Jessica | 
Who else out there is excited to celebrate Pilates Day with me this year! Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? That’s what I thought. Gather round and let me tell you a story. It’s a story about a man named Joseph Pilates, who was born in Germany in 1883. He was sick as a child and turned to […]
A Classical Pilates Home Workout
