‼️Vintage Shot circa 1990‼️ Here’s a ph ‼️Vintage Shot circa 1990‼️ Here’s a photo of my Pilates Studio Teacher Staff from 1990. ✅ This photo was shot for our very first printed Studio Brochure. ❓Remember those❓ ✅ My Studio was founded in 1988. It was located in West Hollywood, California ✅ Interesting Fact: My Studio name was “The Well-Tempered Workout” ✅ No one could use the “P” word in their name or brochure at that time, for fear of being sued‼️ ✅ There was no official #pilatesteachertraining program in 1990, and no #pilatescertification ‼️ ✅ You learned to teach by becoming an apprentice, watching and learning from more experienced teachers in the Studio. ✅ My first teachers were: #kathygrant #carolatrier in #newyorkpilates ✅ After I moved to Los Angeles, I taught at the #ronfletcher Studio, & he also became my mentor. 🙏🙏 I’m SO GRATEFUL for my 3 fabulous #firstgenerationpilates Mentors‼️ In Photo, from left to right: Frances Zappella, @devoralillian , yours truly & @cherylmontelle Photo Credit: @brianleatart1 ✅ I’ve been teaching Pilates since 1981, and I have had my own Studio since founding WTW in 1988. ❤️ Tag, share & comment!

🦢Learn Floor Swan with Wunda Chair 🦢 ✅ Tr 🦢Learn Floor Swan with Wunda Chair 🦢 ✅ Try these double & single arm variations to open up tight pectorals, strengthen the triceps and most importantly, target the lats & back extensors‼️ ✅ Attention Scoliosis Students: the single arm variations can prove especially challenging to your elevated shoulder‼️Focus on pointing the elbow out to the side, OFF the floor during the bent arm prep. Keep your movements small and precise-a little bit can go a looong way‼️ ✅ More Scolio Tips: Equally important during the single straight arm back extension: focus on recruiting the back extensor muscles on the concave (weak) side of the posterior ribs. ✅ VISUALIZE allowing the pedal resistance help you to de-rotate your thoracic curvature as you extend the spine‼️ #pilateschairexercise #wundachairpilatesinstructor #wundachairpilates #pilateschairworkout #pilateswundachair #pilatesswan #pilatesspine #pilatesbacktobasics #pilatesbackextension #pilatesheals #curvatureofthespine #scoliosisexercise #scoliopilates #yogapilatesfusion #pilatesyogagirl #yogalates #unwindyourspine #pilatesupperbody #stabilitychair #unilateraltraining #unilateralexercise #strengthenyourcore #pilatesworks #scoliosisfighter #pilatesteachers #pilatesondemand #jillianhesselpilates
