Carmen has been practicing yoga on a daily basis for the past 15 years.

Her initial intrigue came after years of long distance running, looking for something softer, and on her initial trip to India in 2002 she tried yoga and was hooked. She took her initial ashtanga yoga teacher training (200 hr) with Brian Cooper in Edinburgh, Scotland, then spent long periods of time in India with Lino Miele ( Italy) and Rolf and Marcy Naukojat ( Goa). She has also completed week long intensives with David Williams, David Swenson, Dharma Mittra, Ana Forrest, and Shiva Rea. She has since completed her advanced yoga teacher training ( 2015) and therapeutics with Hart Lazer ( Yoga Montreal), Pelvic Floor yoga teacher certification with Leslie Howard ( California), is a Functional Range Mobility Specialist ( FRC), and has most recently delved into the world of STOTT Pilates, having certified in Pilates Mat, Reformer, and Total Barre.

Thinking about trying Pilates ?

I would love to help you get started !

My new Beginner Foundations series will introduce you to basic mat and reformer Pilates exercises . There will be time to learn these movements, get comfortable with the equipment , and ask questions along the way .

We will focus on assisting you to move confidently with the resistance of the reformer as you begin to gain strength and mobility .

This is open to 5 individuals so you get plenty of personal guidance . No Pilates experience is required - come as you are.

My home studio in the Head of St.Margarets Bay offers a warm and welcoming place to begin.

This is a 5 week series
- Wednesday am at 9-9:50am
- start November 18- December 16th

Someone asked ‘ which way in legs and straps’- we rarely do it this way - facing the pulleys !

Keeping the lower back down and pulling those knees in with the load of the straps is tough !

If we do this next week in class they will probably never ask that question again !

Nobody said anything about changing things up - direction , load , panes of motion, length of leverage. . We need to keep it exciting and challenging on our bodies and minds so adaptable in all ways !

Working a plank is never easy ! Abdominals , legs, shoulders all working .

When we add a little push we work even harder to stabilize that shoulder as the serrated anterior gets powered up .

Always think pushing the ground away , widening the shoulder blades & ignite into those lower arms pits.

Keep your shoulders healthy and moving !

Who wants to get stronger ?

Who ever said you couldn’t do more than three springs ? If you want progression and adaptation you need to change the stimulus !

Sometimes the power of the spring …. Loading up in footwork here and feeling amazing !

🤩 they even did single leg on all five 5️⃣! For a set of 15!

I posted this in my stories yesterday ….What does make this particular exercise challenging for some ?

It’s trying to keep that pelvis in one - not in a static position as it needs to roll back and forth but keeping it stacked over the heads of the femurs as it moves .

A lot of clients tend to start to hinge at the hips where their pelvis moves backward in space - is this wrong ? No but what I want to achieve is getting the movement in the spine so I can restack it without the pelvis hinging back.

This movement isn’t just spinal flexion and extension it pelvic mobility disassociated from the spine and the upper leg .

Oh yeah 👍 you should feel those gluts and hamstring extensors !

What are your thoughts ? 👇

The shape gets bigger , as does the organization underneath it .

I always love doing and teaching this one ! So many variations from more arm@work to more abdominal work . And that spinal movement is golden !

Keeping the hips high (not trying to sit on your bottom), pull the knees under you initiating from your lower abdominals . I think a strong pelvic tuck . Arms / shoulder stay still but stable.

Release into a cow as the carriage returns to the stopper .

I start students off with one Blue moving up to a Red ( maybe adding a white) spring .
