Cause to celebrate! 🎉

You guys, one of my clients has officially hit TWO YEARS at my studio. Two whole years of showing up for private Pilates sessions.

And honestly? I’m in awe of how much commitment it takes to stick with anything for this long. Finding the time, making the financial commitment, staying motivated, coordinating work and family schedules, showing up when you’re tired or busy… two years of choosing to prioritize yourself is no small thing.

I don’t know how it happened, but somehow the coolest clients have found their way into my little studio. I genuinely enjoy them as people. I love getting to know them, rooting for them, challenging them, and getting to be part of their Pilates journey.

My therapist brain is very aware of not only how much Pilates can do for your body—but also how meaningful it can be to make a consistent commitment to your own wellness. And because of that (and many other reasons), I want to be in the front row celebrating these milestones with my clients.

I want to make you pause for a minute and actually look at yourself. Your progress. Your hard work. Your consistency. The things you’ve accomplished that are easy to overlook because you’re already onto the next thing.

Life is hard. We need more opportunities to be proud of ourselves and to notice the good. And I volunteer as tribute to make sure you do. 😂

And truthfully, I feel incredibly grateful to have a client who has been with me since I first opened my studio here in Johnson City. It is not lost on me how much sacrifice, commitment, and grit it takes to choose something—and keep choosing it—for two whole years.

And the fact that you’ve made that commitment here, in my little studio, means more to me than you know.

So proud. So grateful. So impressed.

Congrats, congrats, my friend. 🤍 Two years is a BIG deal.

You guys, some mornings I wake up and ask myself:

Do I want to do Pilates today? Or do I want to do a HIIT workout?

Welp, today we turned the reformer box into a lil’ cardio accessory. Ooey gooey Pilates goodness merged with cardio circuits.

I didn’t have to choose one. I got both, baby!

It’s one of the millions of things I love about Pilates - you can pretty much have whatever you want.

You want:
To feel more stretched out? ✅
To get some good core work? ✅
To improve flexibility? ✅
To work on your balance? ✅
To get your heart rate up? ✅

You want it, baby, Pilates has got it. Just bust a move!

As a side note, I’ve been racking my brain about whether to start a stretch challenge or a core challenge. Any preference?

Some days, your brain will do everything it can to keep you still.

It will tell you you’re too tired.
That you can start tomorrow.

And honestly? That makes sense.

Your brain is powerful. It’s wired to conserve energy, to protect you, to keep you in the familiar. So when your alarm goes off and your body feels heavy, it’s not because you’re lazy—it’s because your brain is doing its job a little *too* well.

That’s why Mel Robbins’ reminder hits so deeply:
*“Never let your mood dictate what you do.”*

Because mood is temporary.
But movement? Movement *creates* change.

Movement is like opening a window in a stuffy room.
You don’t always feel like getting up to do it—but once you do, everything shifts. The air feels lighter. Your mind follows.

This isn’t about forcing yourself into punishing workouts or chasing a certain look.
It’s about honoring your body and your mind enough to give them what they actually need.

✨ A chance to release stress
✨ A boost in energy and clarity
✨ A moment to reconnect with yourself

You don’t need motivation first.
You need a tiny decision to begin.

Even the gentlest movement counts.
Even showing up imperfectly counts.

Because every time you move despite the resistance, you’re reminding your brain:
“I’m safe to do hard things. I’m allowed to feel better.”

And that’s where real strength begins.

I maybe not be put together but I still held it together. 💁🏼‍♀️

This morning, I genuinely couldn’t be bothered to get gussied up to work out.

But somehow I mustered up the nerve to take on the teaser before 6:30am.

It makes no sense. But I’m very proud of the fact that I actually got up there.

Let’s keep recognizing areas where we can be proud of ourselves and give ourselves props for showing up - in pajamas or otherwise. 🙌🏼😂

Thanks to for completely humbling me with the Teaser in her advanced program.

You guys, I had the most wonderful workout the other day.

I have fun footage of me working *very hard*, shaking like a leaf, trying to perform the moves correctly.

Will I probably post some of those clips? Yes.

But also, what might be more relatable, are the moments that you’re feeling sassy, frustrated, taxed and need a break.

Yes, Instagram can make Pilates look like this beautiful, swan-like movement that is graceful and glorious to behold.

And that can be true.

But if you have these moments of wincing and grimacing, through your session, I see you.

Anyone feel this way between/during sets? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Proud Studio Owner Moment!

You guys, I had another client hit ONE year of coming to private Pilates sessions at my home. It’s honestly a “pinch me” moment every time.

It is not lost on me that my clients take their free time, away from their loved ones and dedicate an hour to Pilates in my home. It’s a time commitment, it’s a financial commitment and it’s psychologically challenging to keep showing up for yourself.

This particular client, I initially met in my Mat Pilates classes at the YMCA. Somehow, she ended up becoming a private client. She is strong and committed and so skilled at Pilates. I’m so very proud of her.

I’m so lucky and grateful to have clients that keep showing up for themselves. And I especially love when they can see and feel the improvement in their strength, flexibility, form, control, etc.- it’s so cool!

I am here to root for them and cheer for them. And one year of regular Pilates sessions deserves a celebration. 🥳

And it’s just a bonus that all of my Pilates clients are just really lovely people. I don’t know how I got so lucky but it’s a dream job with dream clients. ❤️

Hey All,

Home girl had to come home sick from work today. It’s bad enough that I don’t think it would be good for me or for you to have me come teach tonight.

I’m honestly devastated to miss my last Tuesday class with you all. My time at the Y has been so meaningful (and I have a lot to say on this). So missing my last Tuesday class is deeply disappointing.

I’m planning to do some Saturday pop-up classes at the Y. So please come see me when I’m there. And know you’re welcome to follow along here, reach out, make virtual class requests, etc. you’re all part of my crew now and I hope we can stay in touch.

(Not like this matters, but this picture was from last week when my son was sick.)

Please keep in touch and hopefully I’ll see you all soon.

One of my clients is going on a big international trip - three flights, my friends, three flights!

She still wanted to keep her early morning session with me - on the morning of her flight. 😳

We discussed what would be most helpful to her body on travel day. Ultimately, stretching is what she wanted.

So I really did plan 60 minutes of stretching every which way. How glorious does that sound?!

This exact sound bite is what I hear in my head whenever I stretch. It’s awesome. Highly recommend an inner narrative based on Friends quotes. Haha

Takeaways:
Your fitness regime should be tailored to your body and what your body has going on (injuries, travel, races, competitions, recovery, etc).

Everyone could benefit from stretching their body a little bit more. Three flights or not, your body will thank you. 🙌🏼
