How is it that I’ve had obliques my entire life but am just now understanding what it feels like for them to activate? Don’t I use them every single day? Don’t they literally function to keep me upright and stable? Thanks to this week, my obliques are now engaged and sore in a way that I never knew was possible.

Last week I mentioned how humbled I was feeling by this experiment. It’s abundantly clear to me that, no matter your level as a devotee or as a teacher, we are all students of Pilates, and it’s our real-time growth that keeps us moving forward.

My lats, they hurt. I only discovered this during a private with Anna where she had me take a stretch on the Cadillac. It was a sore burning that kicked on when I raised my arms and went into a slight back extension—and it let me know I’d been putting in work.

We are ready to welcome you to a beautiful urban space devoted to pilates and #yourbodyyourfuture.   Ausberg Interiors designed our Bloomfield Hills studio which remains a stunning example of staying relevant after 20 years.  They returned to create our urban, edgy, inviting space on Townsend Street in downtown Birmingham.

We are so excited to be opening our second location in Birmingham on Townsend Street!

Our owner, client service director and finance manager would like to warmly welcome all former Townsend Pilates clients and community members to Equilibrium Birmingham! You are invited to come back to Townsend Street and experience the Equilibrium difference!

We don't  just DO pilates.

On the Equilibrium Studio website, we used to include the following question under our bio, "If I wasn't a Pilates instructor I would be___________"

My answer to that question was "I would start my own dance studio."

I started dance at the age of three when my mom thought it was a fun way to keep me active.
