Week 3 – The Middle

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.

Welcome to Equilibrium 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.
