Strength training, Pilates style... 1. Create access to optimal movement pattern. 2. Develop conscious control. 3. Build stamina to support control of the pattern. 4. Build strength by loading the pattern in a wide variety of ways. 5. Remember that every movement is a whole body movement! . . . . . . #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #northvancouverpilates #pilatesstudio #pilateslovers #pilatesbody #northshoreliving #northvancouver #westvancouver #vancouverfitness #pilates #vancouverpilates #crosstraining #yvr #yvrfitness (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXnprZhVzU/?igshid=19oif2nghm7zb

Friday fun in one of Moving Spirit’s small group Reformer/apparatus classes. Different bodies, different needs - different custom designed workouts!! (And because we’re all working on our own stuff - the only competition is with ourselves!) . . . . . #movingspiritpilates #movingspirit #northvancouverpilates #pilatesstudio #pilatesreformer #pilateschair #pilatescadillac #vancouverfitness #yvr #vancouverpilates #selfcare #crosstraining #healthybodies #mindbodyspirit #movementismedicine (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDUkjPBnvV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14rf5rzzoh8ya

Saturday morning mat! We worked slow and deep today. Here, we’re looking for segmental rotation of the spine. Rotation feeds the discs and is important for spinal health. Overactive hips, tight pelvic floor, compressed rib rings and shoulder “muck” can get in the way of really great spinal rotation. In this popular “threading true needle” exercise, we’re working to connect and stabilize the trunk while encouraging segmental movement in the vertebrae. Sometimes we have to go slowly to become aware of tension/holding and find more optimal movement. It’s a process. As we organize the body better, rotation starts to feel smooth and greasy!! . . . . . . . #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #howyoumovematters #northvancouverpilates #vancouverpilates #westvancouverpilates #northshorelivinng #pilatesmat #pilatesmatwork #pilatesstudio #pilateslovers #yvr #vancouverfitness (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuPM5TchoKA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k60xwbjk5cyy

Tuesday Movement Tips #9: Text Neck! Text neck, forward head, dowager’s hump, tension headaches... these are all separate issues, but all of them can involve some element of not supporting the head well on top of the spine. Here’s a starter tool to help reduce tension, and begin to train deep neck support. “IT’s not the whole story,” but it may help. Give it a try and let us know how you do! . . #tuesdaytips #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #northvancouverpilates #pilatesstudio #pilates #howyoumovematters #vancouverfitness #vancouverpilates #movementismedicine #motionislotion (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PE-IXBaXi/?igshid=n0ui0u05dre2

Please welcome Allison Birt!! Allison will be teaching classes at Moving Spirit from March 29 - April 10th. We’re so excited to have her with us! She is a veteran instructor with a wealth of training and experience to share! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Here’s a little more about her: After a series of injuries prompted her to re-consider a career in dance, Allison transformed her passion for movement as art into a passion for movement as medicine. In 2001 she began learning to teach Pilates from Dianne Miller, teaching in her studio (Vancouver Pilates Centre) until 2016. A perennial student, Allison has learned from and studied the repertoire of multiple first-generation Pilates teachers including Ron Fletcher, Kathleen Stanford Grant, and Mary Bowen. Allison is also. Franklin Method Educator, adept at applying mental imagery techniques to embodied anatomy to create lasting positive change in the mind and body. She loves to collaborate with students to help them discover movement resolutions that will maximize their physical potential so that they can move through their lives with as much ease and joy as possible. #movingspirit #movingspiritpilates #northvancouverpilates #movementismedicine #pilatestudio #pilatesteacher #franklinmethod #vancouverpilates #pilatesreformer #vancouverfitness (at Moving Spirit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXoSZXh-JM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7o371dmrp5v4
