Give Your Valentine the Gift of Pilates (…or start Pilates as a couples event)

Forget those one-time Valentine standards like chocolates, flowers, and the big, expensive dinner. Indulge your sweetie (and yourself) this Valentine’s Day with the lasting gift of a Bria Pilates membership. Nothing says L-O-N-G-L-A-S-T-I-N-G-L-O-V-E as much as sharing a healthy lifestyle together.

Successful relationships are often described as having a rock solid core – a steady foundation upon which both partners can build support for one another. It’s the same for human bodies, say Pilates experts. If we don’t concentrate on building a good foundation and a strong trunk or core, we’ll end up tight in some places and weak in others, injury-prone and susceptible to the pitfalls of our occupation or chosen form of exercise.

So try out a membership at Bria Pilates this Valentine’s Day – for a healthier you and a stronger two-of-you!

Pelvic Health and Pilates Neutral Spine

This woman’s information is very new but I think it makes more sense than what we’ve previously thought about pelvic health. It shows how important neutral spine is to core work, no posterior imprint ie pelvis tucked under and “back to the mat”. We need to keep the space between the tail and pubis lengthened to keep the pelvic floor toned. Her website and blog have video clips about every part of the body with visual examples of how the bones move and work. Enjoy!
