Romana's Advice:

Do 5 exercises every day

This advice she gave to her teachers is good advice for all of us. Romana encouraged movement and moving with grace and ease. She shared with teachers this tip that you should do at least 5 exercises each day.

We don't always have time for a full workout but we can do at least a few movements each day. These 5 exercises could be the wall, The Hundred, Single Leg Stretch and Spine Stretch Forward. The exercises you pick should agree with your body. Romana likened choosing your Pilates exercises to shopping for clothes — you browse, try things on, and keep what fits. Pick the five exercises that feel best in your body, and make them your daily practice. Just be sure to mix it up now and then, so the work stays fresh.

2016: When my hair was super short. The pandemic hadn't occurred. When my (2) horses & friends hadn't been taken from this earth. Looking back is bittersweet at best.

💪 Pilates & movement has remained a constant in my world since 1999. I am lucky even through the deep loss.

🗣️ As Mary Bowen just wrote to me: "One needs to have lived a long life to arrive at the WHOLE SELF! I am lucky."
