"Your blood will flow with renewed vigor as the direct result of your faithfully performing the Contrology exercises.  These exercises induce the heart to pump strong and steadily. "  
-Joseph H. Pilates
Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on their Victory in the 2018 Super Bowl Game.  It took lots of heart and soul to win this game against the Patriots.  

February is Heart Health Month.  Joseph Pilates describes in his book Return to Life Through Contrology how his method of exercise can be a bodily house-cleaning with blood circulation.  See below in our Exercises of the month a few of the Pilates exercises that will keep your heart and lungs healthy.

Hilary:  I0 years 

What brought you to Pilates?  

Hilary: My sister was studying Pilates in NY with a Romana's Pilates teacher and told me about it. I was intrigued by what she told me and then looked for a local studio for myself. That's when I found June Hines Pilates.


How has Pilates helped you?

Hilary:  Pilates has had a phenomenal impact on my life. It has helped to relieve stress and ease my migraine headaches. My posture, strength and flexibility have all improved. The most important thing has been finding a mind body connection and an overall well being.
 
Exercises of the Month

Sharon Michels performs the 100
Here are a few exercises that can work your heart and get the lungs sending fresh oxygen into the system.

The 100
This exercise works the lungs and heart and strengthens the powerhouse.  The arms pump vigorously as the lungs fill for 5 counts and exhale for 5 counts.  It warms up the body to prepare for more of the workout.

Double Leg Stretch
Working the powerhouse strength and the lungs, this exercise extends the legs, arms and body to pull in air and it curls into a small round shape to squeeze the air from the lungs and body.  It is also a major stretch.

Snake/Twist

This exercise can be performed on the reformer or the mat.  It is a breathing exercise to cleanse the lungs as the body squeezes out the lungs through the position.



Pilates and You


Sandy Adcock in the teaser
Sandy Adcock  is at again with teasers everywhere.  Here is Sandy in Panama City doing poolside Pilates.  

The teaser is a challenging exercise as it requires, strength, flexibility, balance and control.  When learning the exercise, your teacher gives the student an assist by holding the legs in the 45 degree angle as the student rolls up to reach to the "V" shape of the teaser.
