This week I'm teaching: I keep coming back to the Teaser series — not as a peak pose, but as a conversation with the spine. If you pick any focus today, I'd spend time there. Feel the difference between gripping and supporting.

Five quick questions. I'll program a complete mat Pilates session — warm-up through cool-down — built the way I'd actually teach it.

Step 1 of 5

Where do you want to focus?

We'll spend about half the session here, and balance the rest of the body around it.

Full Body Balanced across all planes — nothing left untouched
Core Deep abdominals, pelvic floor, and spinal stability
Lower Body Hips, hamstrings, inner thighs, and lower leg integration
Upper Body Shoulders, scapular stability, chest, and arms
Glutes Posterior chain activation and hip extensor strength
Spine & Mobility Articulation, rotation, and length through the whole spine

Step 3 of 5

How do you want your body to feel?

This shapes the tempo, exercise selection, and how hard we push.

Restorative Slow, spacious, joint-friendly. Breath on every rep. More like movement meditation.
Steady Consistent working sets at a controlled pace. You'll feel it — in a good way.
Strong Back-to-back sequences, holds and pulses, full effort. Built to make you feel it tomorrow.

Step 4 of 5

How much time do you have?

I'll fit everything into the window you give me — nothing rushed, nothing cut.

Anything to work around today?

Tight hips, a shoulder thing, low energy — I'll account for it. Or skip this if you're good to go.
