We are re-locating to a larger studio space! Our current studio at 72 ave and 208 st has two Pilates equipment work stations for Privates (1:1) and Semi-Privates (2:1). New studio will offer small group training of only five workstations so we can provide individual attention to all our clients. PLUS we will have a dedicated private space for those needing more one on one. This Fall 2022 the new commercial studio space will be conveniently located within the Willoughby Town Centre at 208 St and 80 Ave.

Had an amazing morning working on the Wunda Chair and Reformer (Gwyneth and I took two classes back to back😮‍💨) at Kalijo Pilates studio near Sechelt. I did my favourite advanced Classical teacher training from this studio with Katherine and Alison Denham.

Thank you Serayha for your fabulous instruction. You were trained by the best ❤️😉

Phew 😮‍💨

That 10k was tough! As many of you know, the past 7 months of my personal life have been incredibly challenging so my runs haven’t been as consistent. At most I get in 2-3 easy 5k runs per week, no hill nor sprint training. In order to complete this 10k I needed a good dose of grit.

My daughter Gwyneth smoked me (first time she beat me in a race - way to go Gweeby 🤩🙌🏻).

My first 5k was fast, and I lost some steam on that brutal hill, but then I managed to pass the 60 minute pacer and squeak in before the hour mark. Lungs and legs on fire 🔥 See you next year, hopefully I can get some more consistent training in this time!

Summer ☀️ is the perfect time to book privates at the studio. New clients have more time in the summer to focus on their health and fitness goals. And with several regular clients away on summer vacations Gwyneth and I (Amy) have a few more available private session spots.

We have a well stocked private studio room which has a reformer, cadillac/trap table, arm chair, wunda chair, small barrel, ladder barrel, and spine corrector, along with all the necessary smaller Pilates apparatus like: foot corrector, 2x4, toe corrector, neck stretcher, and jumpboard.

Everything you need to start your Pilates journey to gain strength, mobility, balance, stability, and, endurance at the studio!

We have two new client private packages available: one with Gwyneth and one with Amy, link in profile.

We look forward to meet you! ❤️

Last post on neck exercises.

On Monday June 29 I posted about an interesting study about exercising to reduce neck pain and headaches. The study’s results were so positive I wanted to share what exercises were used in the study.

On Tuesday I posed the Strength Neck Exercise.

On Wednesday I posed the Endurance Neck Exercise.

On Thursday I showcased my fave Magic Circle Neck Series.

And today is about the Neck Stretcher.

Joseph Pilates invented an apparatus called the “Neck Stretcher”. With other exercise names in Pilates, when the name has the word stretch in it, it’s often not about stretching, it’s about strengthening. “Long Stretch” is a plank, “Up Stretch” is a plank with an upper ab curl, “Down Stretch” is a kneeling back bend, “Knee Stretch” is about strengthening the quads. Same with the Neck Stretcher, we mainly use it to strengthen the neck flexors and extensors while trying to maintain the longest c-shape spine as possible. Todays video walks you through two of my favourites.

On Monday June 29 I posted about an interesting study about exercising to reduce neck pain and headaches. The study’s results were so positive I wanted to share what exercises were used in the study.

On Tuesday I posed the Strength Neck Exercise.

Today, let’s explore the Endurance Neck Exercise. The Endurance train group did one specific endurance neck exercise, plus dynamic full body exercises and specific stretching for the neck and shoulders.

Endurance Neck Exercise lying on back, upper ab curls, 3 sets of 15 reps

Both the strength and endurance groups did the same full body workout, just different loads, sets, and reps. The endurance group did 3 sets of 20 reps. Strength group did 1 set of 15 reps, highest load possible. Dynamic exercises using dumbbells: shrugs, overhead presses, biceps curls, bent over rows, chest flys, lat pullovers.
Both groups performed trunk and bodyweight leg exercises by doing one set of squats, sit ups, and back extension exercises.
For both groups each training session finished with stretching exercises for the neck, shoulder, and upper limb. They did this three times per week for one year.
