Functional Flow Pilates, LLC

Happy National Pilates Day!!

Pilates has changed my body, mind, career and life.
Period.

I genuinely believe everyone could and should be doing it.
Fun fact- Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates during WWI to help rehabilitate soldiers. He originally called Contrology. The art of control of the mind and body.

My favorite thing about Pilates - you don’t need anything but you and the floor.

While the reformer gets all the glitz and glam of Pilates- Mat Pilates will always have my heart.

I can -and do- take it with me every where I go.

-Pilates has set me up for success to start weight lifting.
-Pilates has brought me life in my career as a Physical Therapist.
-Pilates has made me feel younger and stronger at 40 than I was at 30.
-Pilates has made me feel the most confident in myself as a person, a mom, a practicing Physical therapist- when I take charge of a room as a Pilates Instructor.

I want to give Pilates a huge shout out!!

And special thanks for those that joined me today on the may to help celebrate. I love you all!!

You can choose to feel old at 40, or young at 40.

I choose young. And I’m choosing Pilates.

As a Doctor in Physical Therapy- trust me when I say- Pilates is the answer.

After taking the last two weeks off of the year- I’m finally easing back into the game of business owner life. Recapping my 2025 numbers and celebrating the wins. I hope you see that all things are possible when it comes to working for yourself.Year 5 as a soloprenuer for Functional Flow Pilates- I have felt my most sure and confident self yet. Yes imposter syndrome creeps back in- but much less often. I trust myself. I know what value I provide. And I know God always provides me with the best patients, clients and members. 2025: -I worked with 24 patients/clients in helping them return to an active lifestyle-I support 20-24 Library members at any given month by providing rehab inspired online class videos -I completed 677 bookings with 98% of them being 1:1 care or trainingBonus: -I was able to take 8 weeks off. Be there for my kids for all their events. Still have the energy and time to cook for my family. -No weekends worked.- averaged 15 hours of 1:1 sessions/a week. A number that I wanted to be lower than my previous 20/week, while still bringing in more income. Which I achieved. All of this to say: THANK YOU. Thank you for everyone that has trusted me in their recovery journey. All those that cheer me on, pray for me, and take the time to notice me on social media. My focus of 2026- being our strongest yet. Stick with me to achieve your strongest most mobile self!

If you find yourself falling backwards when attempting a pistol squat - grab a weight!

I'm using 10 lbs. This weight will keep me forward as I reach out when I lower. Feeling more stable into my joints.

You can lift your heel if your ankle mobility isn't letting you go down all the way. And over time try to keep your heel down.

Plus the extra weight it's a nice extra burn on the way up!!

Had a patient struggling with their single leg work - and sure enough we added just a little extra weight - and it helped!!

Maybe it can help you too!!

Stay strong and mobile my friends!!
