Most workouts will be ~20 minutes, with longer options when you have more time. Unless I say otherwise, all levels and abilities are welcome, including prenatal, postpartum, and anyone new or returning to fitness.

Featured Workout: 14 Min Low Body + Core
Whether you take this week’s quickie New Workout Wednesday class on its own or stacked with something else (like this one!), you'll get the stability AND mobility for healthy, happy glutes and hips.
A simple workout doesn't mean easy! Don't phone it in just because there aren't a bunch of tricky sequences. Instead, cultivate that mind-body connection. Concentrate on your individual alignment and how maintaining your strong center makes every move feel more powerful and connected.

Equipment: Mat; add optional ankle weights for extra spice!
This is appropriate for all levels, and may be modified for prenatal / postpartum.
Last Week’s NWW: 21 Min Classic Core
If you love classical Pilates mat, you're going to love this New Workout Wednesday quickie core (7/9/25). It's a straightforward flow through the classics - perfect for days when you just want to shut your brain off for a few minutes and MOVE!
The sequence features familiar faves, plus opportunities to try exercise you don't see that often in my classes (Hip Circles, anyone?) - there are always options to modify so you meet yourself exactly where you are.

Sunday Pilates: 50 Min Total Body
Around here, Sundays are made for Pilates. Join us live each week at 10 am pacific on Google Meet (on-demand replay always available!). Grab a small hand towel and set yourself up near a stool, countertop, or chair to start this feel-good total body Pilates-style workout from 11/20/24. We focus quite a bit on mobility, opening up the hips, calves, and hamstrings. But all this movement happens from a stable, strong center body - that means your core is awake and active the whole time.
I hope you leave the mat feeling refreshed and a little more open - ready to take on your day with a clear mind, renewed energy, and a sneaky burn in those abs. :) Enjoy!
Equipment: Mat, Small Towel (optional), Chair or Stool (optional), Stretch Band (optional)
All levels welcome but this may not be suitable for pregnancies - check out the prenatal option below or modify to meet your needs.
Prenatal Option: 16 Min Standing Total Body
I’m a HUGE fan of a standing workout - I do them almost every day as a warm up for whatever else is on deck. They light up the whole body AND they're travel-friendly and welcoming to all levels and abilities (including pre/postnatal).
They’re also super functional! We don’t spend a lot of time doing side kicks or crunches in "real life" but we DO bend, twist, reach, and balance. This workout from July 2024 trains you to move better - in the gym, on the mat, and in your life. Adding a simple hand towel to this class helps engage the back body so you truly get a total body experience in just over 15 mins.

Super Quick: 12 Min Upper Body + Core
Each week I’ll post an effective, efficient workout that can be done in 15 mins or less! Pick up a set of light hand weights to bring the upper body to center stage in this quickie all levels workout from August 2024. It takes everything we know and love about Pilates and kicks it up a notch - adding just a bit of resistance with the weights instantly lights up the core so you can make the most of your time on the mat. You'll see variations on familiar exercises in the first half of class, followed by a 3 minute rapid-fire sequence for your shoulders, biceps, and triceps near the end.

Equipment: Mat, Light Weights (3 lbs or less - optional)

Beginner-Friendly: 13 Min Core - Series of Five
The "Series of Five" (aka Ab Series) is a mainstay in Pilates class everywhere - and for good reason! These 5 exercises work every part of the abdominal wall, from the rectus abdominus ("six pack") to the obliques to the deep stabilizing TVA. After a quick warm up, this quickie workout from 12 Days of Pilates in 2022 introduces all 5 exercises, allowing beginners to learn the movements and more advanced students to refine and progress their practice. Once you learn these exercises, you'll see they provide a foundation for nearly limitless variations as you get stronger and stronger.

More to Love: 21 Min Total Body
Think of this all levels workout from December 2024 as a delicious layer cake. We move through a short Pilates mat flow 3 times in a row - with each round, you'll have opportunities to add challenge to the exercises. You get to choose how much you want to layer on and how much you want to indulge in those progressions! No matter what you choose, you'll be moving constantly throughout the whole class and be exposed to a wide variety of classic Pilates mat. This is a super efficient, tasty little workout that doesn't waste one second of your time.
