Twisting from the spine is a tall order. 😉🥁
Working on lengthening my body in all directions from the center — two way stretching it out! #spinetwist #twowaystretch #jaygrimes #contrologypilates #losangelespilatesteacher #tolucalakepilates #pilatesteacher #dopilates #burbankfitness #pilatesonlineclasses #pilatesmat #pilatesexercise #mmthankyou #marchmatness2021
Enjoying a much needed stretch for the entire front of my body. Less sitting - more moving!

Double leg kick — trying to keep my hips lengthened on the mat for this one! #marchmatness #doublelegkick #pilatesextension #pilatesexercises #pilatesathome #pilatesworkout
I’m so grateful for this unforgiving mat! It teaches me — tells me what I need to work on. Too much cushion creates a barrier between you and the work. What do you love about these old-school mats?

Spine Stretch involves moving the spine from straight to round and back again. Sit tall, go long and pull in as you round forward and match that effort on the way back up.

Still going strong with March MATness! How’s your mat practice coming along so far? Just finished #rollingback and now we’re onto #onelegstretch or #onelegpull #singlelegpull — I prefer to call it One Leg Pull because it emphasizes the deep double pull in of the bent knee while fully stretching out the long leg. Thank you, Jay!

Asynchronous one-leg circles from this morning’s virtual Pilates class! Our @strongbodypilates classes are all self-directed with guidance from the teacher, allowing students to experience how the method can be customized to their needs. My Thursday crew is the highlight of my week! I love each of these beautiful, strong movers and am so proud of their progress!

Day 2 of March MATness is The Roll Up. #therollup #pilatesinstructor #classicalpilates #pilatestolucalake #pilatesburbank #pilatesvalleyvillage #marchmatness2021 #mmthankyou @marchmatness
I’m turning into a #Canva junkie!
Here’s #thehundred with legs up and pressing down onto the mat. Don’t let that lowered leg option fool you — it has its own set of challenges. @marchmatness #confettiart #lululemonleggings #gratzpilates #contrologymethod #pilatesmatworkout #tolucalakepilates #burbankpilates #pilatesbody #pilatesmommy #pilatesforeverybody #pilateseverydamnday #marchmatness2021 #mmthankyou
From the @strongbodypilates studio account. Join us on Instagram all month-long for a daily celebration of the original Pilates mat work. After a full year of social distancing, a barely operational studio space and limited access to apparatus, you might think we don't have enough gas left in the tank for something this. Nope!
The original 34 mat exercises are the foundation upon which the entire Pilates system was built. What's more? We've seen you all get stronger this past year, working with what you have available to you and that is something to celebrate!
Nicole and I will take turns featuring a different exercise each day, moving through the entire sequence -- from The Hundred all the way through to The Push Up. Please join us, along with Pilates enthusiasts all over the world to salute the magic of this method.

Oatmeal: it’s always what’s for breakfast ever since my good friend Ann-Elisabeth from @ren.pilates showed me how to cook it properly. My morning staple for almost 3 years. I’m a creature of habit. What’s your favorite breakfast? I want to know!
