12 months + 380 classes taught
Iām so very grateful to be part of the Movement Pilates Karaka story and to have taught 380 classes to such an amazing community āļø
Thank you to every person whoās walked through the studio doors, trusted the process, and shared a little part of your journey with me
Hereās to another year of moving well, getting stronger, and proving that progress isnāt about perfectionā¦ itās about showing up āØ
A few minutes with the squishy ball can wake up your hips, switch on your glutes, challenge your core, and get your body moving with a little more intention before the rest of class
Always ensuring your warmups are never boring at Group & On Demand Reformer Pilates š«¶š½
Moody lighting, sexy playlist, and a deep stretch that feels almost illegal š
This is what Winter evening Stretch Reformer sessions should be š„
I instruct Stretch & Glow āØ

If it felt easyā¦ would you still keep coming? š
When you first started, could you do everything perfectly?
Control every rep and hold every position?
And zoom out for a secondā¦
Has Pilates made your life outside the studio feel easier?
Moving better, feeling stronger, standing taller, less aches creeping in?
Thatās the trade.
We keep it challenging in hereā¦ so life feels lighter out there.
Itās not about chasing āeasyā
Itās about building a body that can handle more š¤øš»
Layer it upā¦ earn the burn š„
Swipe through the layers
Each steps progresses to the next
Control and basics first, intensity and challenge second
Layer 1: wheelbarrow
Layer 2: wheelbarrow circle (push out into a wheelbarrow, bend elbows wide + allow carriage to close until chin grazes FB, then straighten arms to finish closing carriage)
Layer 3: wheelbarrow with chin graze reverse (push out into a wheelbarrow, bend elbows wide + allow carriage to close until chin grazes FB, then push out low until arms are straight, then close with straight arms)
Two options for a hold/repeater:
Level 1: wheelbarrow hold
Level 2: chin graze repeater
Happy grazing! š
