Tower Class Reviews! "The tower class is so focused and the feedback from using this equipment is so valuable! I left this class with so much information about my body and it's imbalances, in addition to knowing how to correct those imbalances to better work my body. My body felt wonderful and worked out after this class. Thanks Amanda for bringing the best in Pilates to us! So much love!"-GS, 2 years Pilates experience. "I love tower class! The equipment might look intimidating and complicated but it's actually helpful, effective, and fun (not scary at all!). Amanda does a fabulous job of explaining exactly what to do and how to break it down into small segments that are easy to follow. Tower work is allowing me begin to develop a better understanding of my body: using the tower helps me to see and feel how to use certain parts of the body together as well as how to isolate specific areas. The feedback that you get from using the equipment really clarifies things! I love mat, barre, and stick classes, too- tower class is a GREAT addition to the line-up because you learn different but complementary (and equally valuable) things in all of these classes! (and I secretly feel like a circus performer when I use the tower and/or reformer.. how fun is that?!)"-KT, 6 months Pilates experience "Amanda's tower classes are amazing. Using the equipment gives you so much more feedback. You can tell which side of your body is doing more work. You are able to be more present, because of the feedback you receive. You are able to take what you learn from the tower and apply that knowledge to the mat or barre. If you are looking to become more present in your workout, discover more about yourself, or receive better feedback, I highly recommend tower classes."-RS, 2 years Pilates experience

Just a little twist for Sunday. Their form was beautiful! (at Discover Happy)

[discoverhappydecorah-blog]

Working on the reformer has not just deepened the understanding of Pilates work, but it settles my spirit.  Finding your center can be defined in terms of physical bone alignment, muscular balance, and spiritual energy.  When I find my day chaotic, full of confusing thoughts and emotions, I can find my 'center' on the reformer.  The closed chained connection makes my mind let go of the happenings around and draw into my body.  That first breath, pressing out on the foot bar, and controlling the movement with grace, smacks my thoughts into submission.  Now I rise up from only moments of foot work and I can address my stress with ease.  Making more sound decisions, not emotional reactions. 

Many workouts do the same but this is my solace. Me, my body, and my springs.
