9 Things We Do Differently at Pilates Cure

1. We don’t have “small classes.”
We cap our classes at 5 people. Five. People.

2. We’ve been teaching Pilates before most people knew what Pilates was.
Now that it’s super trendy, we’re still teaching the Pilates we learned 20 years ago. Not whatever happens to be trending on Instagram this week.

3. We don’t worship the Reformer.
It’s a tool. One of many Pilates has to offer.

4. We don’t get weirded out by different bodies or skill levels.
We’ve taught total beginners, professional athletes, triathletes, grandparents, kids, paraplegics, pregnant mamas and pretty much everything in between.

5. We don’t have cream walls, cream Reformers or arched mirrors.
We know. We’re practically rebels.

6. Our teachers don’t use microphones to teach.
Most of us are probably overstimulated enough. Five people in a room means we can actually talk to you, not scream at you over loud music.

7. We don’t try to serve everybody.
We know who we are and what we have to offer. And we’re good with that.

8. We take Pilates seriously, but not ourselves.
We know the power and impact a regular Pilates practice has, but we also understand you are a human living in a body that literally changes every day.

9. We want you doing more than Pilates.
Go hike. Lift weights. Ride your bike. Play with your kids. Sit on the floor. Live your life. We want Pilates to make your life better, not become your entire personality.

If that sounds like your kind of Pilates, come see us in person or online!

Pilates Cure is proud to give back to our community this year as a sponsor of the Catawba Ridge Riders, our local NICA chapter. 🚵‍♀️

NICA is a volunteer-based organization of parents and leaders working together to get more kids on bikes and help them grow into strong, healthy individuals with a lifelong love of cycling.

But what they’re really building is so much bigger than that.

They’re giving kids a place to belong. People to cheer them on. Something hard to work toward. And a chance to learn what they’re capable of using their mind and their body, spending time outside, and figuring things out along the way.

Because eventually, the bike ride ends.

But learning how to make a decision when you’re exhausted, push through something that might feel impossible, trust yourself, handle disappointment, celebrate someone else, fall down and get back up?

You carry that with you off the trail.

That’s why investing in kids’ sports matters to us.

Not because every kid needs to be an athlete, but because every kid deserves a place to challenge themselves, find their people, and learn what they can do.

We’re happy to show up for our community and the kids in it. ❤️

Working with teen athletes is one of my all time favorite things. They keep you on your toes, they tell you like it is, they show up and give it their all, and usually they’ll keep you laughing.

It can be challenging at times to keep them focused and figure out how to get them to connect, but the joy they find in movement is unmatched! More of my adults need to work on that part!

You gotta know though, no two kids are the same and for sure they aren’t just little adults. There’s lots to take into consideration physiologically, emotionally, physically when working with kids, pr***en and teens.

This was the first time he’s been on the barrel and I’m not sure he’d say he loved it. But he did say he’d do it again and he agreed to do the homework I suggested.

Which btw was not more stretching. But a handful of specific mat Pilates moves to help him gain more strength, awareness and control that will over time make this amount of opening on the front of the body feel better.

I actually just wrote a blog about why stretching isn’t always the best go to. Comment below and I’ll send you the link.

There’s a lot of confusion around the name of this apparatus:

pedi-pull
pedo-pull
peda-pull

but two things are for sure, how it makes you feel and what it teaches you rather bluntly.

At Pilates Cure, we use it often to help people understand how to organize their posture, where they might be cheating themselves out of some more work (aka: better results) and to understand how all their movement is anchored by their core (powerhouse).

Drop your questions and maybe we’ll do a live on it soon.

Who doesn’t love a little chair any time of day?

This trio (who have all individually been doing Pilates with us from 5-15 years!) makes it look easier than it is.
