FOOT FOCUS CLASS!

I’m so excited to bring back this pop-up class all about the feet!

In this class we’ll work on foot strengthening and stretching exercises to help with things like arch strength, toe, foot, and ankle mobility, balance, bunions, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis, and more. We'll also discuss socks, shoes, and toe spacers. Props needed: towel, pen, tennis ball, thick rubber band, optional theraband.

Recording available if you can’t make the time!

Friday October 23rd at 4:30pm ET

ONLINE AND RECORDED

I am happy to teach this class in person/online hybrid in the future. If there is interest, please let me know!

What is the Wunda Chair?!

The Wunda Chair was originally designed to be Joe Pilates’ at-home piece of workout equipment, doubling as a chair in his home. This apparatus includes two springs on a pedal when flipped out of “chair” position. Offering a full-body workout that can be adapted to any level, the chair is typically used as an auxiliary apparatus, but for more advanced students can be used for up to an entire lesson.

The chair is particularly good at opening the lower back, strengthening one side (like when there is one hip or side of your back that is stronger than the other), and it is excellent for challenging balance. It is also a great place to strengthen the hips and legs. The springs each have three different settings, and you can also use one or two springs depending on the exercise. Less is more with the chair - the lighter the spring the harder it gets.

Check out this archival video from the 1930s of some of Joe’s students taking turns working out on the Wunda Chair. Glad we don’t have to wear those outfits when we work out anymore.

Even Batman has a Wunda Chair!

I use Batman to demonstrate to my clients their leg and hip movement without moving the pelvis. Batman excels at this. He’s terrible at rolling like a ball though. We can’t be good at everything.
