Can you believe how time flies? A month ago I was inhaling and exhaling into a deep down dog, ten feet from pounding surf in the tropical heat of Troncones, Mexico. With my pilates, yoga, surf retreat in full swing, our blissed out clients, Tyler and I melted our stress away in the glorious surroundings. - See more at: https://amberleesky.com/wellness-library/mexico-retreat-highlights-part-1#sthash.BL5baVx0.dpuf
All inclusive retreats in paradise! Bali, Mexico, India, Brazil, Thailand and Spain are just a few of the countries, on my list, that harbor decadent retreats to lavish your every need.
Whether you are stuck in traffic, cutting veggies, or taking a sandy stroll, you can cinch the waist, breath easier and feel more confident.
Through a dedicated pilates practice we can rewire neural pathways and old movement patterns, strengthen the muscles that support the spine and increase range of motion/flexibility.
Last time I addressed posture I had you face down on the mat strengthening the back of your shoulders into proper alignment.

The average American sits between 8-11 hours per day. That's a total of 2,920 hours a year of crunching our low backs with poor posture and cultivating tension in our hips. And we wonder why our backs ache?! For ultimate spine and hip longevity you'll need to open those cramped spaces daily.
How often do you think about your feet? Besides the random pedicure or shoe shopping spree, most of us forget about the little guys.
Thanks to the 24 rock stars who made it to my free virtual pilates class on Ustream last Tuesday evening! Your feedback and enthusiasm put a perma smile on my face for the rest of the week. - See more at: https://amberleesky.com/wellness-library/my-free-virtual-pilates-mat-class-recorded-for-you#sthash.UcfYyRCX.dpuf
I get it all the time. I tell people that I'm a pilates instructor and I usually get one of three responses...
With Spring in full swing here in San Francisco there is nothing more intoxicating than getting outside for a long power walk. I just got back from a rigorous workout at the pilates studio and power walked home to deliver this tasty bite of the pilates mat stomach series.
