Breathe!

We all know breathing is automatic, but how we breathe changes everything. Breath isn’t just about fueling movement. It can shift your focus, regulate your mood, and connect you more deeply to your body. That’s where tactile cues and imagery come in. • When you rest your hands on your ribcage or wrap a band around it, the external feedback brings more awareness to how the ribs expand and contract with each breath. • When you imagine your lungs inflating like a balloon or your ribs fanning open, your body naturally organizes around that picture. These tools help us access fuller, more efficient breath. And when our breath is steady and intentional, movement feels smoother, the core engages more deeply, and even our nervous system calms down. Try it out for yourself: 👉 Place your hands on the sides of your ribs. 👉 Inhale, imagine your ribs opening like an umbrella. 👉 Exhale, feel them release back in. Notice how your body and even your mind shift. Breath is more than air—it’s power, presence, and peace. 🌬️ . . . . . . . . . 🎥 @sarafullerimages #RELPilates #RELmoves #MoveWellWithREL #Pilates #MindfulMovement #PilatesInspo #PilatesLovers #StreamlinePilatesStudio #Wellness #PilatesIsForEveryBODY #PilatesCommunity #PilatesOfInstagram #MovementIsMedicine #PilatesTherapy #ILovePilates #Breathwork #BreathIsPower #MindBodyConnection #EmbodiedMovement #BreathAwareness #MovementWithBreath #RegulateYourNervousSystem

✨ Progress Spotlight ✨ One year ago, my client was navigating life with a frozen shoulder. Today, she has nearly regained her full range of motion, while her strength and confidence continue to grow with every session. The dedication, patience, and consistency she’s brought to her practice is inspiring. Recovery isn’t always linear, but she’s proof that with the right mix of persistence and mindful movement, real transformation happens. 💪💛 So proud of how far she’s come!

Caught in action, teaching my senior client the pull-up/squat.

💪🏻

Holding the bar from above not only challenges her shoulder mobility, it also helps support her lower extremities as her hips shift back to mimic the action of sitting in a chair. (AKA squat)

💪🏻

The looped band around her legs encourages her hip muscles to fire, so that more focus can be on scapular rhythm.

💪🏻

In this assisted pull-up, she can use as much support from her legs as she prefers to feel confident and strong in her shoulders.

💪🏻

I also love the opportunity to get my senior clients up off of the floor!
