What Does Being Healthy Mean to You?

HERE IT IS!! Today is the last day of August and the vision board is complete! For the month of August, I asked you: What does being healthy mean to you?

Just Flow...

Hustle and flow, hustle and flow, baby. Actually, July is solely about flow. ;) This is the 6th and finally Joseph Pilates Principle. If you've taken Pilates classes and notice there seems to be a high influx of instructors who are or were dancers, what I just posted answers why that is. Not only is technique important to dancers, but also flow and how one completes the movement effortlessly. If you also notice how easy the exercise looks when the instructor does it, you can

Wisdom Wednesday

Today is Wisdom Wednesday and it's time for another Pilates Principle! This month is all about CONCENTRATION. This principle combines the previous three principles and is necessary to achieve the mind-body connection, and thus creating muscle memory. Don't forget: Focus and being present is key! #pilates #avantipilates #avanti #barre #yoga #josephpilates #pilateskeyprinciples #pilatesprinciples #concentration #focus #mindbody #musclememory #present #pacificbeach #sandiego #wi

Pilates Around the World - in Napa, CA!

This past weekend I happened to be in wine country and was a little spontaneous... So I decided to perform the Open-Leg Rocker in the middle of the vineyards. 🍇 Crazy, I know, but it's always fun to immerse yourself with beautiful surroundings, doing something you love. ❤❤❤ This exercise is awesome! You definitely work on balance, coordination and it targets your adductors, spinal flexors, core, hip flexors, and hamstrings. P.S. it's a LOT harder after drinking exquisite w

Pilates Principle #3 - Precision

April Pilates Principle = Precision! I know I say all of Joseph Pilates Principles are important, but PRECISION definitely helps differentiate Pilates from other types of fitness. I believe Pilates is the foundation to all exercise and focusing on PRECISION allows you to progress without injury. #pilates #avanti #avantipilates #barre #yoga #josephpilates #april #pilatesprinciples #precision #safe #sandiego #pacificbeach #mindbody #visionboard #pilateslovers #pilateslife

Pilates Around the World: NYC!

Ah, New York New York. What a beautiful and exciting city! What more can one ask for? How about some warmth! I left sunny, warm San Diego for this wonders of New York during the first week of January. The day I chose to explore Manhattan, however, the windchill dropped the local temperature to a balmy 9 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrrr! This photograph was taken in front of the Exxon Building in Manhattan, just across the street from Radio City Music Hall. I'm grateful the Christmas

Avanti Pilates was invited to teach a Geriatric Pilates mat class at the UCSD Geriatric Interdisciplinary Symposium on October 25, 2015.

Pilates Around the World: Chicago!

While exploring Chicago, not only was I checking out historical landmarks and popular sites, I was also looking for the perfect backdrop for my next Pilates picture. And then I saw it -- the GIANT reflective bean! The famous Cloud Gate in Millennium Park was great, but it was cold for this Southern Cali girl. Jeans, boots, and frigid autumn temperatures were not ideal for such an advanced Pilates exercise, but I couldn't pass up the chance to pose in front of a giant, reflect
