Click our story in profile for some fun chatting from Hilary and see studio! Now to the Snake on the Reformer – what a full body experience this is! So much has gone into getting this connection for the body. Knowing you can push with the arm and leg and extend out and bring the carriage full back in! “My feet used to be scared…my arms were noodles… I feel it all connected now” says Bea. Connections to the mat work are visible here with the Side Bend as well as all the Side arms, the footwork, the Pulling straps, what else connects for you? @360pilatesofficial • • • #reformer #wapilates #gratzpilates #silversteetstudios #traditionalpilates #josephpilates #pilatesstrong #houstonpilates #contrologia #contrology #pilateshouston #snake #wapstyle #wallofjoe #chuckrapoport #feeltheconnections #pilates #pilateslovers #pilatesinstructor #pilatesreformer #pilatesbody #pilateslife #pilatesstudio #pilatesbodyeveryday #pilatesmat #pilatesgirl #pilateslover #pilateslove (at WAPilates)

Every mat class ends with the Push Up and after all that work it now ends. They stand up and roll down with hands on the mat they walk out hitting that Leg Pull position and the connections of the arms and back are instant, the legs and the length. Now push up, walk back in, rolling back up, the body is ready and connected. Now, yes, it may also be tiring to end with this and the client is thinking what? But, the full body can do it, and is ready to do it! Yes, every time! “The work is all worth it when I hear Push Up! I made it!” Shares one wonderful student. @360pilatesofficial connections. • • • #matclass #wapilates #gratzpilates #silversteetstudios #traditionalpilates #pushup #stronger #rollups #feelthework #youcandothis #itallcomestogether #wapstyle #360pilatesofficial #pilates #pilateslovers #pilatesinstructor #pilatesreformer #pilatesbody #pilateslife #pilatesstudio #pilatesbodyeveryday #pilatesmat #pilatesgirl #pilateslover #pilateslove #houstonfitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #getfit #thefitlife (at WAPilates)

WAPilates Teacher Training Student and WAP Apprentice @emilygonsalves did her first Handstand on the Ladder Barrel with the focus of any good bride to be! Yes her wedding is days away now. So many things had to become clear and connected for this to happen. If you look back in this hour you can see her connection to the Hundred, her rowing series, the Leg Springs…what else can you see? “I finally understood the feeling of reaching my legs from deep inside and that arm back connection was like WOW!” @360pilatesofficial connections • • • #ladderbarrel #wapilates #gratzpilates #silversteetstudios #traditionalpilates #josephpilates #movement #houstonpilates #connections #contrology #pilateshouston #lightbulb #inversions #handstands #gymnastics #funlikeakid #grownupplayground #underthechandeliers #chandeliers #pilatesisfun #strongwomen #bridetobe #wedding #pma #psapapprovedschool #pilatesmethodalliance #360pilatesofficial #pilates #pilateslovers #pilatesinstructor (at WAPilates)

It is Monday and of course starting off with the Hundred. A look at our Sunday Mat class as they got the weekend Pilates going! One of our guys even rode his bike for 25 miles and then hit the mat! We are soon coming to the end of May and our salute to Mr. Pilates and the month of Pilates Day! So, today we thought of this from Mr. Pilates “No wonder then that so many persons express such great surprise following their initial experience with Contrology exercises caused by their realization of the resulting sensation of “uplift”. For the first time in many years their minds have been truly awakened.” Just ask any of these Pilates participants if they feel the same way! I bet they say yes. #gratzpilates #houstonpilates #htx #houston #pilateshouston #contrology #contrologia #silversteetstudios #mondaymotivation #monday #pilatesworks #traditionalpilates #may #memorialdayiscoming #pilatesday2018 #salutetojoe #chuckrapoport

Sunday is always a fun day right? Jolie, who is in the Year long Mentorship Program with Hilary got her workout done with a wonderful full hang and Monkey Swing. Love the whooohoo and this just makes you happy! Looking to Mr. Pilates we love this “Thus we achieve happiness, for it it not real happiness truly born of the realization of worthwhile work well done, with the gratification of enjoying the other pleasures flowing from successful accomplishments with its compensating measure of “play” and resulting relaxation?” #contrology #wapilates #wapstyle #houstonpilates #gratzpilates #chuckrapoport #traditionalpilates #cadillac #inversion #monkeyswing #fullhang #josephpilates #pilateshouston #sundayfunday #sunday #sundayvibes #memorialdayiscoming #pilatesisfun #teacher #practicewhatyoupreach #welovepilates #silversteetstudios #htx

It is Wednesday and time for the “wake up” for @bea_v_allen who was a bit tired today. Bea has taken the words of Mr. Pilates to heart coming to the studio not only for her own private session but, taking 2 mat classes each week. Today her hard work paid off in big ways with seeing her strength and connection with Headstand Front and Snake on the Reformer. Trusting her body and what it can do is the gift of Contrology. To again visit the words of Joseph Pilates “ Remember that Rome was not built in a day and that Patience and Persistence are vital qualities in the ultimate successful accomplishment of any worthwhile endeavor. Practice your exercises diligently with the fixed and unalterable determination that you will permit nothing else to sway you from keeping faith to yourself. At times you may feel tempted to “take a night off”. Don’t succumb to this momentary weakness of indecision, or rather, wrong decision. Decide to remain true to yourself”. #wednesdaywisdom #wapilates #josephpilates #contrology #contrologia #traditionalpilates #silversteetstudios #wednesdays #thehundred #returntolife #may #betruetoyourself #persistence #patience #determination #trustyourself #greatthings #strongwomen #pilateshouston #houston #htx #houstonpilates #gratzpilates

Balance in life and body – Can it be achieved? Joseph Pilates said “Through the Pilates Method of Body Conditioning this unique trinity of a balanced body, mind and spirit can ever be attained. Self-confidence follows.” Everyday we strive to find that, and as we do the confidence in what our mind and body can do is endless. • • • #chuckrapoport #wapilates #gratzpilates #silversteetstudios #controlbalance #traditionalpilates #josephpilates #reformer #houstonpilates #mindbody #contrology (at WAPilates)
