• We keep reading and hearing how to “STEP INTO YOUR GREATNESS” but what the heck does that really mean? It’s almost a buzz phrase around social media, mastermind groups and motivational speakers. . . Society has it’s many definitions of GREATNESS whether it’s about money or social acceptance. But YOU GET to experience your own GREATNESS without editing and without conforming yourself & sharing it. . . What I SHARE with my clients: 1️⃣ Start becoming AWARE of your train of thought- not judging just OBSERVING. 2️⃣ When you see a negative thought or story arise, SWITCH GEARS back to POSITIVITY and the PRESENT. This simple action has a HUGE impact on the quality of your experience. This clears the space for you to have a different experience. 3️⃣ Turn your SELF TALK into SELF LOVE TALK ❤️. Say the nicest things to yourself, “Thank you feet for taking me all over we did 15k steps today”. 🤣 3️⃣ Allow your IMAGINATION to flourish- limitless and playful. 4️⃣ The FEAR is in your head. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Switch gears not allowing the fear to make your decisions. 5️⃣ You get to design your life, your GREATNESS will shine through. Shift the negative moments into POSITIVE PRESENT ones! . . It takes practice, just like Pilates, Yoga, and any physical discipline. But we GET to practice MINDFULNESS and GREATNESS will SHINE through us. ❤️ . . . . . 📷 @heynico #selflove #begreat #stepintoyourgreatness #stepintoyourpower #fitspo #strongwomen #mindfulness #mindfulaxis #adidas #girlswholift #run #motivation #motivational #bepresent #fitfam #fitlife

  • Pilates Magic Circle with Back Extension 👌🏻 . . Using props to assist your body into a deeper back extension are excellent once you are warmed up first of course 🔥. . . The Pilates Magic Circle is not as stable as a ball but that’s what makes it more of a challenge for your alignment & shoulder stabilizers 💪🏻! . . Inhale to lift, Exhale to lower. Use your inhalation to assist in your extension as it will help support the spine, as well as create a sensation of levitating off of the mat 💫💫. . . Play with your pelvic stability by lifting both or one leg for added Hamstring & Glute recruitment ☝🏻! . . . . . #pilates #pilatesmat #strongback #pilatesforbackpain #fitfam #fitlife #mindfulaxis #magiccircle #pilateslovers #core #backworkout #backpain #rehab #strongwomen #pilatesbody #getflexible #breath #bayarea #pilatesinstructor #pilatesliving

  • Ok I’m obsessed with my new bands- @odofit_booty_bands ❤️ . . ✔️ Non Slip Bands ✔️ No yucky rubber smell ✔️ Comfortable ✔️ Perfect for Glute/Leg days . . This is a little ATG- yes ass to grass to be exact. And yes, it takes practice + mobility and training! . . Why do them? 🎯 Full squats produce greater overall muscle development in the lower body. 🎯 You hit the Glutes, Hamstrings and Quads for superior growth compared to a partial squat. 🎯 As your squat depth increases, the muscles of the posterior chain including your Glutes and Hamstrings, perform more work. . . 👏🏻 The Squat is renowned as the best compound movement in the world of fitness! ❤️ Who doesn’t love that? . . 👏🏻 Adding these bands to build strength in your side glutes works! Pushing the knees out into the band will fire those hip stabilizers! . . . . . #deepsquat #asstograsssquats #squatdeep #squats #bootybootybooty #bootyworkout #legday #resistancebands #resistancebandsworkout #bootywerk #strongwomen #getfit #fitfam #fitlife #mindfulaxis #strongissexy #🍑 #buildabooty #girlswholift #hiit #bayarea

  • Here is a great reminder for all of us to give our low backs what they have been asking! . . Alpha Ball from @tuneupfitness is a great size to begin releasing your Quadratus Lumborum (QL). . . Place yourself near a wall to stabilize in a 90 deg position with your legs. . . Often clients will complain of their sacrum or SI joint feeling locked up- so we can begin here and move into releasing the side glutes as well. . . This muscle is extremely important for hip & pelvic stability- so give it some love! . . ❌Beware 😵 DO NOT roll on your actual SPINE! ❌ Instead, roll on the QL muscle adjacent. . . 👉🏻Wiggle 👉🏻Butterfly 👉🏻Hinge 👉🏻Glide leg up a wall 👉🏻Pull leg in . . . . . #backpain #lowbackpain #correctiveexercise #rehab #strongwomen #fitfam #healthyspine #pilatesinstructor #alphaball #tuneupfitness #softtissuetherapy #fitness #fit #fitlife #beflexible #mindfulaxis #bayarea #workoutvideos #instafitfam #anatomy

  • EMBRACE the FEET you were GIVEN ❤️👣! They help balance us as we explore the world. . . “I have bad balance” I hear this phrase so often and you’re NOT ALONE! . . We rarely spend time on one leg except for a fraction of a second before pushing off and landing on the other foot when we run. . . Being able to stand comfortably ON ONE LEG is an important piece of the puzzle to staying INJURY FREE. . . Start in a standing static position and begin to progress to a Pistol Squat as your foot and ankle mechanics improve! . . These are always a challenge and you must warmup your ankles and feet beforehand 🔫👍🏻! . . Want to IMPROVE your Single Leg Balance? Try these tips: 👣 Warm up your feet and toes with a tennis ball or massage ball rolling between the bones of the feet, stretching your foot muscles 👣 Stand close to a wall to hold lightly while you start transferring your weight to one foot 👣 Stare at a fixed point ahead 👣 Use your toes especially your big toe to help grip the ground 👣 Square your hips so you don’t sag on your standing leg . . Practice. Stop, Start Again. Keep Trying! Give your feet LOVE they deserve it ❤️👣! . . . . . 📷 @tri_nguyen_photography #balance #pistolsquat #squat #bayarea #getfit #fitlife #mobility #practicewhatyoupreach #loveyourfeet #strongfeet #fitspo #fitfam #dedication #keeppracticing #legday #sanfrancisco #flexibility #strongissexy #fitwomen #instafit #girlswholift #crosstraining #mindfulaxis
