~ Throwback Thursday ~ Here I am, back in August o ~ Throwback Thursday ~ Here I am, back in August of 2013, slating my name for the Pilates Anytime Legacy Project, to talk about my 1st Generation Mentors, Kathy Grant & Carola Trier. (You can view my Legacy interviews on the PA website) Slide left to view Kristi Cooper, posing on an original Cadillac, constructed in 1960 under Joseph Pilates’ direct supervision, for Carola Trier. Kristi is holding a triptych poster of Carola performing the Star ⭐️ on her Universal Reformer, also constructed especially for her! Slide left again to see Kristi striking a pose on Carola’s Cadillac. You can see that it is much smaller and more compact than Cadillacs built today. I’m so blessed that Carola consented to pass this beauty on to me in 1988, when she retired from teaching! At that time, Ken Endleman of Current Concepts (now Balanced Body) had never built a Cadillac! After the Cadillac was shipped from New York to Los Angeles, Kenny drove his own truck down from Sacramento to Los Angeles, to pick it up. He rebuilt the bed for me, and Carola’s Cadillac became the template, moving forward, for Balanced Body, Inc to design their own, updated version! Please DM me if you’re interested in purchasing a Carola Poster (they come in both horizontal & vertical), or if you’d like to take a Zoom Private or Workshop on the Cadillac, later this year! . . . . #throwbackthursday #lessonslearned #pilateslegacy #pilateslegacyproject #pilateshistory #pilatesclasico #pilatescadillac #pilatesinstructor #cadillacpilates #cadillacpilatesexercises #reformerpilates #reformerworkout #pilatesanytime #balancedbody #balancedbodypilates #pilatesclassic #kathygrantpilates #carolatrier #carolatrierlineage #pilatesbody #vintagepilates #vintagepilatescommunity #pilatesequipamentos #pilatesequipment #retropilates #retroworkout #retroaesthetic #retrostyle #onlinepilatesclass #pilatesonline
Lately, my Group Class theme has been to “lift a Lately, my Group Class theme has been to “lift and separate” the ribcage from the pelvic girdle. This action requires both stretching and strengthening of the muscles in the torso, and helps to create a more streamlined look, including a trimmer waistline. The stretching feels SO GOOD, but we must also strengthen, to maintain the newfound length! Join me for an online class, to lengthen & strengthen YOUR BODY! Both LIVE & RECORDED classes are available. US $15 Watch and rewatch ANY class you’ve registered for, again & again, for up to 90 days. Link to register through my online partner, @benefitsquad is in my bio. See you on the MAT! . . . . #trimyourwaist #lengthentostrengthen #reachyourgoals #reachup #growtaller #torso #torsosculpture #pilatesonlineclasses #virtualpilatesclasses #loveyourbodynow #onlineworkout #onlineworkouts #workoutfordancers #toneyourbody #seniorfitness #seniorfitnessspecialist #pilatesforeverybody #floorworkout #floorworkouts #coreexercises #corestrength #corestrengthening #longandlean #pilatesindia #pilateskorea #pilatesjapan #pilateshongkong #pilatesmat #pilatessidebend
~ Can you do the CAN-CAN? ~ This is a fun routine ~ Can you do the CAN-CAN? ~ This is a fun routine that begins slowly, with a diagonal hip reach/release I learned years ago from 1st Generation Master Teacher Ron Fletcher. It’s a surprising amount of work for the torso, specifically the obliques! I’ve added additional choreography, as you will see. I believe Ron would approve❤️❤️❤️ Yes, YOU, TOO can do the Can-Can! HAVE FUN & LMK how it goes😍 . . . . #cancan #fletcherpilates #fletcherpilatesteacher #fletcherpilatesasia #ronfletcherpilates #hips #legs #legsfordays #legsfordaysbaby #legsfordaysss #legsforday #legsfordayz #legsforever #pilateslife #funroutine #pilateslegs #hipopener #hipopeners #hipopenerslove #obliques #obliqueworkout #obliquestrategies #moderndance #moderndancer #moderndancers #pilatesfordancers #floorwork #floorworkout #floorworkouts #floorworktechnique
~ Way Back When Wednesday ~ @balanced_body launch ~ Way Back When Wednesday ~ @balanced_body launched its first full-page National magazine advertisement in #shapemagazine almost 30 years ago. Company Founder #kenendelman asked #elizabethlarkam and Yours Truly, to model for the photo shoot. In these 3 photos, I model one one of the first Universal Reformers built by Balanced Body featuring ropes, instead of leather straps. I can’t seem to find the original full page Shape Mag advert, which included a short list of Pilates Studios across the USA 🇺🇸 circa 1990, but the key word here is SHORT!! How far we have come in 30 years. Pilates exercise has become a Worldwide 🌎 International sensation ! I pray our small boutique Pilates can hold on during the #pandemic🙏🙏🙏 . . . . #waybackwednesday #waybackwhen #waybackwednesdays #waybackwed #waybackwhensday #pilateslegacy #awesomewomen #kickasswomen #badasswomen #pilatesreformer #pilatesreformerexercises #pilatesreformers #coreexercises #pilatesfordancers #internationalpilatesday #pilatesworldwide #pilatesturkiye #pilatestürkiye #pilatesturkey #pilatesjapan #pilatesbrasilia #pilatesargentina #pilateshongkong #pilatessingapore
Happy 99th Birthday my very first Pilates Mentor, Happy 99th Birthday my very first Pilates Mentor, Kathy Grant. RIP Kathy😍❤️😻 If not for Kathy’s meticulous eye & her unrelenting quest for precise body alignment, I would never have been able to continue dancing professionally, well into my 40’s. And,little did I know at the time, back in 1981-1982, that her class inimitable teaching style would « rub off » onto me! I’m both proud and humbled to be a part of her Teaching Legacy. It means everything to me tohave the privilege & the honor to pass on her teachings to the next Generation of Pilates Teachers❤️❤️❤️ . . . . #kathygrantpilates #kathygrant #kathgrantlegacy #pilates #pilatesteacher #pilatesteachers #pilatesmethod #pilatesmethodalliance #pilatesinstructor #pilatesinstrutor #pilatesinstructors #pilatesinstructortraining #pilatesinstructorlife #firstgenerationpilatesteacher #pilatesmasterinstructor #pilatesmastertrainer #passiton #pilatesstyle #pilatesclassico #classicpilates #josephpilatesmethod #pilatesmentor #pilatesworld #pilateseğitmeniol #pilatesforever #pilatesinspiration #pilatesgoals #whoinspiresyou #favoriteteacher #pilateslovers❤️❤️❤️
