Last day of March MATness 2021! Exercise #34 is The Push Up. I’ve never been any good at push ups. At 6’2 my long levers make it difficult for me! That’s why you’ll see me modify and perform the push up from my knees. Everybody is different but Pilates is for EVERYbody! Thank you Mr.Pilates for Return to Life Through Contrology. Decades later we are still inspired by your matwork!... #marchmatness2021 #thepushup #welovepilates #pilatesmat #kootenaipilates #pilatescanada #pilatesfestnorth

Day 11 The Saw. Inhale twist, exhale reach! Always a class favourite! This exercise creates rib rotation over a stable pelvis. It enhances spinal flexibility and facilitates a great hamstring and low back stretch. Sitting up on a block or bolster may help to ease strain in the hip flexors or hamstrings. We love the matwork! ... #marchmatness2021 #pilatesmatwork #welovepilates #kootenaipilates

Day 7 Double Leg Stretch This exercise is part of the stomach series...and it sure works the abdominals! After reaching arms and legs in opposite directions (the stretch), bring your knees towards your chest and circle the arms to the ankles. Repeat 8 times and warm your core! @zaim_paine_photography #marchmatness2021 #pilatesmat #doublelegstretch #pilates #kootenaipilates

Resilience...the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. With heavy hearts we must respect the new Provincial orders and close our studio temporarily for group mat and Reformer classes.

Please contact the studio for information on our virtual ZOOM offerings or to bo...ok your private sessions!
