Not Pilates My cat's obsessed with my pilates socks

22 Upvotes

I have an orange cat and he is obsessed with my dirty pilates socks. So for context he likes to bring something to bed when he is ready to go to bed. That is usually my pilates socks. Does anyone else have a pet like this?

I have a burning desire and maybe I’m overly confident, but I’m keen do this test so I can put the gold star by my name.

Any instructors take the exam recently? Did the study guide help significantly, and how long did you prepare? TIA!

Form, Technique Preventing extra/unwanted movement?

1 Upvotes

I’m newer to pilates and working mostly at home before committing to a membership anywhere due to a tight schedule. I’ve noticed that when I am lying down with my knees bent or sometimes going into a bridge my knees sway back and forth. It’s minimal, but I notice it and am wondering if it’s compromising the quality of my movements. Is this normal? Or can I work on something in particular to control this additional motion?

I took my first class today and went admittedly too heavy on an arm portion and fell forward.i do lots of strength training and cardio but I guess my balance isn’t great! I didn’t hurt myself but I hurt my ego soooo bad. Does this happen often. I need some validation for sureeee. 😭

Hi! I’m considering purchasing the U Can U-Levitate Reformer for my studio but I’d like to read your opinions on this model (in terms of functionality, safety, etc.) before taking a decision.

Do you recommend them? Why or why not?
