DeLand Pilates

And we forgot to mention that it’s kinda chic to see you in the studio…

✨ Please help us welcome Samara to our DeLand Pilates family! ✨

We are excited to announce that Samara will be joining us as a Pilates Instructor, with her first class beginning August 20th at 3:30 PM!

A third-generation DeLand native, Samara has a deep love for our community and is passionate about helping others feel stronger, more confident, and more connected in their bodies.

Samara’s love of movement began at a young age through studying classical ballet, and she has continued her journey through over 15 years of yoga practice and more than 5 years of Pilates experience. She is currently completing her STOTT Pilates Reformer certification and brings a thoughtful, encouraging approach to every class.

She believes Pilates is for every body — helping improve strength, mobility, posture, and the way we move through everyday life.

We are thrilled to have Samara join our team and can’t wait for you to experience her classes!

Join us Thursdays at 3:30 PM beginning August 20th.

If you’ve ever been in the studio, followed us on social media, or heard Leslye on 107.7, chances are you know her. She’s been part of the DeLand Pilates family for so many years and has been one of our biggest supporters every step of the way.
Today, she reached an incredible milestone: 2,000 classes! 🤯
Two thousand workouts. Two thousand times choosing to show up for herself. That’s something worth celebrating.
Leslye, we are so proud of you and so grateful to have you as part of our community. We love you, and we can’t wait to celebrate 2,100... 2,500... 3,000... and every milestone in between. ❤️

Raise your hand if you’re ready for school to be back in session?! Raise the other hand if you’re ready for some new, exciting additions to our schedule!

We still have three weeks left of summer break, but just a reminder to book your classes, check your waitlists, and keep an eye out for new class times!

The maple pole… she gets hate for no reason! Is it really the pole? Or is it the movement paired with the pole?

In the first slide, we have round back and straight back. You can see in round back, the movement starts from the pelvis as we draw the hips away from the femurs and continue to flex the spine from tail to head. In straight back, the spine stays long without any extension (arching) in the low back.

In the second slide, you’ll see some common mistakes such as trying to do too much or moving from the upper back instead of the pelvis. Less is more with your short box work.

These two movements are important because you’ll see these two spine shapes in SO MANY other exercises across all apparatus.

Comment with an exercise you’ll see the round back shape in! Maybe you can win a pair of socks?!? 🫣

(Both slides are sped up to keep up with busy your day 🤪)

Wishing our amazing DeLand Pilates community a happy, healthy, and fun-filled 4th of July! Enjoy the sunshine, celebrate safely, and we’ll see you back in the studio soon. ✨
Happy 4th of July!
