A great teacher is also a great student...
I love learning from Amy P....Ever since I was in the training program, I enjoyed learning from Amy P. I admire how detailed she is in teaching her clients and classes. She ensures that every client gets a safe and effective workout while challenging them with Pilates.
We would like to congratulate Mary Warren and Maria Haralambis on passing your Matwork, Level 1 exams and to Julie Casto for passing her Matwork & Reformer, Level 1 exam!
We are so impressed with all of your dedication and hard work and wish you lots of success in your career as a certified pilates instructor!
Jenn shares two of her favorite exercises:
My favorite exercise to teach on the mat is slow double leg stretch. It is great for the core and has a lot of choreography! It is difficult to cue, but with practice it is a fun challenge!
My favorite exercise to do personally is feet in the straps -frog.
Our studio fitness challenger, Debbie, has been incredibly committed to taking a variety of classes, where she has increased her upper body strength and fitness level! Hear what Debbie has to say about her first month as the challenger:
I have been having a great time being the 3 month challenger at Equilibrium and feel so grateful that I have had the opportunity.

A Thursday Technique Tip by Gayle Eubanks
We often tell our clients to imprint when they are attempting an open chain exercise. Why? The rationale is that bringing both the legs into the air (or into an open chain position), puts a lever or force against the pelvis.
