Let's talk props!
I am so incredibly thankful for the opportunity to continue to teach Pilates ONLINE!
One problem we face, however, is the inability for me to be able to share my props with you.
There is no need to go out and buy something if you do not choose to, and often we can use regular stuff that is sitting around the house, a pillow, a towel or even a cloth grocery bag in replace of a ball or resistance band.
But for those that would like to, I promised I would share some Amazon links to find the props we use in a usual class. (using Amazon Smile is a great way to give back while getting the convenience of Amazon).
The two main props we use in class are the small stability ball and the resistance band.
I am going to share a few links for each prop, the brands may be a bit different from what I buy in bulk but they will work still fantastic.
Small Stability Ball
The Overball is the ball we use in class - https://amzn.to/2XuOIcx
The Stott brand ball is fantastic as well, the 7.5 inch is the correct size - https://amzn.to/2xtQT5n
The Nononfish Mini Exercise Ball is also a good choice at a better price and you can pick your color! - https://amzn.to/2yYeBY0
Resistance Band - One note is that Amazon does not sell many options for single resistance bands, they do have many three packs, which is not a bad deal and having different resistance weights is a great way to build endurance.
Theraband (we use these too) does sell single bands! - https://amzn.to/2wC6NKJ
They also sell a three pack! - https://amzn.to/2V3WaK6
Gaiam sells a great three pack as well, and is a brand I trust - https://amzn.to/2RCgiRj
Benificer also makes a nice three pack, I've never used this brand but the reviews look good - https://amzn.to/34zmRt0
Again, please do not feel obligated to buy anything, but if you fancy yourself a ball, band or both while we Stay Home, I hope this is helpful! Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

The Pilates Roll Up 🧡
Mid way through winter session 2021, many of my new Pilates students are trying to conquer the Roll Up for the first time (and doing a wonderful job at it!)
I truly believe from person experience and having taught Pilates for more than 13 years the Roll Up is the #1 most frustrating exercises in mat Pilates. And also everyone wants to do it perfectly on their first try. I mean, common, it LOOKS so easy. I try to make sure my students have FUN learning to roll up while eliminating these cheats!
In this second video Pilates elder, Lolita San Miguel, who studied with Joseph Pilates himself, demonstrates this exercise beautifully.
Breathing! Concentration! Control! Centering! Flow! Precision!
