Movement to Align Body, Mind, and Spirit 🤸🏻♀️

items Yes, I really do have all this stuff. And yes, I use it! The variety is super helpful to make sure I get some sort of movement in everyday. It's a “pick your own adventure” vibe, even if I choose to only stretch or stand on the vibration plate for a ...
The exact ring I've used in class for 5+ years. It's great for resistance exercises in upper and lower body. Also one of my favorite tools for stretching!
Pilates Ring / Magic Circle - Balanced Body
My favorite way to gently roll out my feet right before bed. It's the right balance of firm with a little give.
Pro tip: put the ball in a tube sock to easily position on your back against a wall

Foam Massage Ball - TriggerPoint
A true FOAM roller (not hard rubber!)… because my quads are always tight and full of knots. Any length works, but I prefer the 36 inch to use along my spine, too.
Foam Roller - TriggerPoint
I prefer going barefoot, but the Pilates studio I frequent requires socks… After trying every sock option over 5+ years, these are my favorites: open toe, low rise, and open top. These are also great for safe stretching.
Open toe allows for better grip and eliminates toe slippage. Low rise keeps them from getting hot on my ankles/legs. And open top is more comfortable with high arches so the top of my foot isn't fighting against the tight fit of the sock.

Vibration Plate
This obviously isn't the same as a true Reformer, but it greatly expands options beyond mat exercises. My two favorites right now are mountain climber planks using the sliders and standing rows (pulling straps).
Pilates Board - 6-in-1 Multifunctional Exercise
Listen to me! You want the handrail/bar option! Without it, I wasn't able to walk confidently without watching my feet. I would either go too slow or too fast without that visual boundary. The beauty is that this walking pad works with or without the...
Walking Pad/Treadmill with Foldable Handrail
I can't find the exact set that I have, but these cards are a good option when I'm motivated to work out. They make it easy to find exercises to target a certain muscle or area of the body. When I'm not motivated, they can introduce a little bit of i...
