After 16 years of teaching, there are a few things I’ve noticed that can really hold people back in their practice. And most of them have nothing to do with strength, flexibility, or how long you’ve been doing Pilates.

Sometimes it’s the little things.

Paying attention instead of going on autopilot. Remembering a correction from last week. Learning to move efficiently between exercises. Exploring the apparatus you tend to avoid. And understanding that the advanced work isn’t going anywhere.

None of this is about being perfect. That’s why we practice.

But Pilates is a system, and the more you engage with it, the more it has to offer.

As teachers, we’re here to guide you, challenge you, and help you grow. But some of that work has to come from you.

And yes, every day is not Cadillac day. 😉

**Stop just taking Pilates. Start practicing it.**

Teachers, what would you add to this list? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Testing the edges of control, strength, and trust. Do you trust yourself?

Today’s Intermediate class took us upside down on the Gratz Pilates Ladder Barrel, exploring tree from the short box series.

Both of these clients are experienced practitioners here at Breakthrough Pilates, but experience doesn’t necessarily make being upside down any less terrifying!

That’s part of the beauty of Pilates. As our practice develops, we continue to challenge ourselves, explore our limits, and discover what we’re capable of.

It’s not about being fearless. It’s about building the strength, control, and confidence to explore something that once seemed impossible.

There’s always another layer to discover in the work.

Holiday or not, Lexi showed up.

This is how beautiful Pilates can become when you practice consistently—the control gets deeper, the movement becomes more precise, and exercises that once felt impossible begin to flow.

Beautiful, strong classical work on Gratz Pilates reformer.

Advanced Reformer gives experienced clients the space to refine the classical order, challenge their strength, and continue progressing.

Mondays at 7:00 PM.
Only 5 spaces. Level 3 access required.

Book your Reformer.

There’s a beauty in Pilates that only shows up when you pay attention.

Side Leg Springs are delicious—but they demand concentration and control.

It’s easy to make the shape. It’s another thing entirely to find the work.

Especially for my hypermobile people: more range isn’t always the goal. Slow it down. Control the spring. Organize the body. Feel where the movement is actually coming from.

That’s where Pilates gets interesting.

Not bigger. Not faster.
More connected. More controlled. More intentional.

And suddenly, a movement you thought you knew feels completely different.

Well, this happened. 🏳️‍🌈
Breakthrough Pilates is officially a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise® through the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce.
I started Breakthrough to build a serious Pilates studio where great teaching, community and belonging could exist in the same room. Having the business officially recognized as an LGBT-owned business means a lot to me.
And now we get to see where it takes us.
Proud of this one.

Hey y’all, have you met Skinless? He’s mostly quiet, but lately he’s been asking about you by name. Wondering when you’re going to come play. Asking if he should pay you a visit.

October gets weird around here. Maybe pop in for a class before Skinless gets restless. 👀

Ready to build your Pilates career?

Teacher training gives you the foundation—but becoming a confident, thoughtful teacher takes time in the work.

The Breakthrough Classical Pilates Mentorship is a six-month program designed to help Pilates teachers bridge the gap between training and teaching in the real world. We’ll work on developing your teaching eye, cueing and programming, understanding the Classical system, working with different bodies, observation, personal practice, and the professional side of building a sustainable career.

This isn’t another certification. It’s a place to practice, observe, ask questions, get feedback, and keep developing—as both a teacher and a professional.

6-Month Classical Pilates Mentorship
Begins October 21, 2026
West Hollywood, CA
