Springs are one of the most important parts of the reformer — but they’re also one of the most misunderstood.

More springs doesn’t automatically mean “harder” and fewer springs doesn’t always mean “easier”.

The spring setting changes the reformer resistance, assistance, stability and control required throughout an exercise.

Understanding your springs allows you to choose resistance with purpose rather than simply copying a spring setting from someone else or from a class plan.

Consider the real aim of each exercise for your next Pilates workout or class! 💫

SIDE LYING IN PILATES IS NOT JUST LEG LIFTS 👀

It looks simple… until you actually do it properly 😅

Where many current and new Pilates classes are solely focusing on the burn, the sweat, the shakes- let’s bring it back to what it is actually about and consider the Pilates principles in this position.

The Pilates burn is DIFFERENT because it’s precision over ego.

Side lying trains:
✔️ glute med strength
✔️ pelvic stability
✔️ deep core connection
✔️ better posture & alignment
✔️ control over momentum

The slow shake or feels? That’s the magic happening. ✨

Because weak hips = compensation everywhere else.

Tiny movements. Massive burn. INSANE results.
= Strong core. Strong hips. Control and connection everywhere.

It is not just about the hips- it is always a full-body approach.

Save this for your next Pilates class 💌

What a milestone.

It’s easy to look at numbers on social media and assume success happens overnight, but behind every post, class, workshop and video has been years of hard work (15 years in business this year!), learning and showing up consistently.

Building this community hasn’t happened by chance. It has come from continually growing as a Pilates teacher and educator, pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, learning new skills, taking opportunities (and chasing opportunities!), and working incredibly hard behind the scenes.

There have been many moments of doubt, challenges and long days, but also so much joy in sharing my passion for movement, education and helping others discover Pilates.

To everyone who has followed along, joined my classes, purchased my books, supported my business or engaged with my content—thank you. Your support means more than you know.

Here’s to continuing to learn, evolve and push boundaries to share Pilates with even more people. I’m so excited for what’s still to come. ✨

Pilates has always been about progression, layers and working through the system 💫

This is where the true work happens. When your body adapts to each stage and is continuously progressed and challenged.

It has never been about exercise selection on its own. One move always transitions to the next. The move prior is always a pre-cursor for the next.

It is about strength and mobility, never one or the other.

That’s how we get stronger, more stable and the magic happens!

Try this seated box flow for some reformer variety! 📍

As both the research and clinical world continue to show, pelvic floor health is about far more than just Kegels.

Your breathing patterns, posture, pressure management, and deep core system all play a role.

Pilates can be a powerful tool for developing awareness, coordination, and strength—but only when we understand the ‘why’ behind the movement. ✨

Pilates may be a starting point for you, or part of your wider rehab 🤍

Progress isn’t about making an exercise harder—it’s about choosing the right layer for your body today. ✨

In this Pilates mat ball flow, I’m showing how one movement can evolve through different layers and progressions. Whether you’re building confidence, refining technique, or ready to challenge yourself, every variation has value.

Meet your body where it is, master the foundations, then progress with purpose.

Strong movement isn’t rushed—it’s earned. 🤍
Which layer do you manage up to confidently and with ease? The rest is your practice! Let me know below! 👇
