Spinal extension is an important skill for the human body. But it’s one we lose with too much “forward living” in our lives. It involves good control, stamina and strength in the spine, shoulder girdle, thorax ... heck the whole body! Remember - every movement is a whole body movement. Add some spinal extension to your life! And if it’s hard, get some help. It may not be about just doing more of it. HOW you move matters! (And we’re here to help. 😊) . . . . #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #northvancouverpilates #pilatesstudio #pilatesreformer #pilatesmat #pilateslovers #pilatesbody #pilatesvancouver #vancouverfitness #fitfam #northshoreliving #northvancouver #westvancouver #healthyliving #howyoumovematters #movementismedicine #motionislotion #moveitorloseit (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ZYw1lh3yx/?igshid=14iknbg60ufz5

Full house on Friday! I love seeing the results of people’s commitment to the process. Exploring new movement patterning, focusing on supporting and activating the body in a sustainable way... and sticking with it! Results are not instant - that’s a fairy tale. But do the work and things shift. Little victories, day by day, until you realize that you’re moving in ways you never imagined you could!! . . . . #howyoumovematters #northvancouverpilates #vancouverfitness #movementismedicine #northvancouverfitness #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #pilatesstudio #pilates #pilatesreformer #pilatesbody #pilateslovers #pilatesvancouver #fitfam #healthyliving #northshoreliving #selfcare #bodylove (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PLbQEha8S/?igshid=zm6igw94qxvn

Core stability is about more than just muscles! It’s more about the relationships between key structures in motion. #northvancouver #pilates #pilatesstudio #northvancouverpilates #pilatesbody #pilatesreformer #howyoumovematters #vancouverfitness #fitfam #corestability #corestrength #movementismedicine #motionislotion #yvrfitness #pilatesvancouver (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Ne8hYBnr0/?igshid=at5psc13hz69

These exercises may look different, but they’re working the same fundamental skills, in a different orientation to gravity! Stabilization of spine and pelvis, connection to pelvic floor, deep abdominal wall and psoas for support; connection of the shoulder girdle to the support of the back body and loading the arm press! This is developing the core relative to the action of the arms and upper body. Nice work Bev & Glenda! . . . . . . . #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #howyoumovematters #northvancouverpilates #pilatesstudio #pilateslovers #pilatesreformer #movementismedicine #motionislotion #vancouverfitness #northshoreliving #fitfam #northvancouverfitness #northvan #westvan #pilatesvancouver (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1KyaZnB_wd/?igshid=tb7hb4j8s5jy

Pilates is a brilliant form of exercise. But to apply it well in service to better movement and fitness for individual clients, we have to understand what is going on in individual bodies! Fitness & health levels, biology, posture, mechanics, stress, histories, inner stories - all of these play a role. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Taking the time to review, research & understand the challenges our clients face is key in our ability to build movement programs that will support each person’s best path to sustainable progress. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We KNOW that there are stunning possibilities within each person that walks through our doors. Our job is to help them see those possibilities too, and to support them in getting there. That’s just how we roll. When you’re ready... we’ve got you!! 💕 . . . . . . #howyoumovematters #northvancouverpilates #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #pilatesstudio #pilatesbody #fitfam #vancouverfitness #northshoreliving #northvan #westvancouver #pilatesvancouver #womenshealth #menshealth #movementismedicine #motionislotion #pilatesrehab (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0v9rEBBUi0/?igshid=125buphwgqgdx
