Our thoughts become our behaviors. Joseph Pilates called his method Contrology: the art and science of mind and muscle control. If you’re looking for exercise that challenges your thoughts about your body, check out Pilates. #selfcare #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #controlyourmind #bodyconnectionpilates #lifeisgood #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesstrong #atlantafitness

Whether your muscles are sore from stress, working out, work or life, you can use a pinky ball to roll out the kinks. I bought mine @richardsvariety_store and I’m sure you can get them at a toy store or online. You can roll out any and all muscles for quick tension relief. *Note: Results are best when done on a flat wall but I couldn’t resist being outside on a Georgia fall day.... #bodyrolling #tensionreliever #stressreliever #selfcare #pilatesbody #pilatesinstructor #bodyconnectionpilatesatl #atlanta #candlerpark #inmanpark #decatur #fallvibes

Attention Pilates people: We are open and offering sessions on the Pilates equipment. We ask that all clients wash hands before their session and we clean and sanitize after each session. Also, we are allowing only one client at a time in the studio to maintain social distancing as well as a 15 minute window between sessions so that you don't see anyone on your way in or out.

#marchmatness2020 @bodyconnectionpilatesatl Day 18 Spine Twist The low back does not functionally rotate very much but the thoracic does - that’s the mid back up to the neck.
