“Not too much not too little “ -J.H. Pilates
One of the wonderful of this work, is that is meant , in my opinion, to teach us and help us to MODULATE our energies, strength, power.
I think we can easily tend to confuse a hard work with a deep , good, productive work; we confuse work with effort.
We wanna squeeze to juice out of every exercise, that’s for sure but… that doesn’t mean to get stuck in each exercise, to consume all the energies and all the attention in every exercise; it actually means to be able to distribute the energy and the power , to connect all the exercises and to flow in the system. Animals are the clear example of that and Joe wanted us to move like them. Rhythm, flow, order , silence , springs , awareness, presence are some of the many tools we have to work in this direction and reach our best potential in terms of functionality and modulation… understanding how much to push, pull, try, let go… not too much, not too little!
Grazie Joe ๐

๐งโ๏ธ "There are no wrong notes; some are just more right than others” -Thelonious Monk
My mentor Jay Grimes always said that the good teacher is the one able to choose the right exercise for the body in front of him.
How do we do that? And … when is the choice wrong?
Well… for me… we choose from a certain to observe, that allows us to get in contact with our instinct and intuition.
And… what’s a wrong choice? Actually there’s not right or wrong when working within the system!
The only “wrong” exercise for a body can be the dangerous one… and … when is in exercise dangerous? When the person is not ready to do it or… the teacher is not ready to guide it!
So… take your time, breath, observe, create the space to see and feel and choose from there and … know and trust the work and the system… and… trust yourself!๐

“It’s your light that lights the world” -Rumi
I am so incredibly proud and honored of the work done from this Class of Master Pilates e-motion Program 2023/24!
A group of unique, powerful, respectful and cleaver (gleaver actually ๐) teachers who went through this journey open to deconstruct and re-construct themselves, finding their own unique voice and light… thank you deeply to all of you for the trust, the commitment, the laughs , the tears, the sweat, the respect , the love!
See you in the world and at home whenever you want ๐

RESPECT๐
One of the biggest effect of really doing the work, is that we learn the deep RESPECT… if we just talk about the work, if we only judge other people’s work, if we only try and fix bodies … we are missing the best part… that is to really do the work… to practice in our own bodies, to guide people to find the work in their own bodies, to observe without judgment and without looking for mistakes; that’s when we learn to have RESPECT for ourselves, for our own mistakes, for our own time, for others , for their bodies , their space, their needs, respect of the environment where we work, for the apparatuses, respect for our teachers, for our students, clients, for our time and efforts, respect for our failures and our success… respect for the work and for Joe and Clara ๐

Every workout I take, every lesson, workshop, course I teach… my deep passion for this work and this job grows!
I feel so lucky to be able to do a job that allows me to explore life through movement and to make people feel happy, healthy and in contact with their true selves!
Let’s not forget our passion!
Let’s nurture it and renovate it!
The first tool for this is our own practice… we can’t pass this work if we don’t keep exploring it directly… we have to keep our fire burning of passion and love for this incredible magical work!

๐งโ๏ธ"Everyone is the architect of their own happiness” -Joseph Pilates
For me, Pilates is way more than a series of “corrective” exercises… It’s a powerful, wonderful tool to know ourselves through the movement , to get into the flow, to feel our own body deepness and to understand and feel how movement, deep muscles and emotions are connected and how much energy we can create and move … THE BODY KNOWS… always ๐
๐๐โ๏ธ "The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun” Phil Edwards
Being focused and being worried are two very different concepts… if we really wanna be centered , we cannot have our nervous system in constant state of alert because we too worried to be perfect and too worried to make mistakes… to gain real control, real center … we need focus , we need flow , we need internal silence and concentration… the amazing tools we have in the work to create that are: rhythm, flow, use of the springs, connection among the exercises and the elements of the system… everything we need is within the work!

“The only way out is through” -Robert Frost
We don’t have to be scared of our difficulties… in our practice and in our teaching… this work is built up step by step, moment by moment… we have to develop the ability to observe, feel and adapt to what’s happening… frustration, difficulties… are only moments and , actually, they are precious moments to deepen our understanding, our patience and our strength ๐

“Intuition is seeing with the soul” -Dean Koontz
My mentor Jay Grimes always said that a good teacher needs to have and instinct and intuition.
We all have them but… it’s not that easy to recognize them , nurture them and trust them!
And not easy at all is to create the space and silence to let them talk to us. Rhythm, flow , continuity, intensity… these are all incredibly powerful tools that we have to build up this space and let the body talk to us through our instinct and deep feelings!

โค๏ธ๐ฅ"Emotion is energy in motion” -Peter McWilliams
Muscles, bones, tendons, organs, nerves, glands, skin, fascia… everything in our body is “magically” , perfectly, harmonically connected the way Nature designed… for me, being centered and “use” the work to get centered , means to use the movement and the apparatuses to create the space in the body to optimize the communication among all the parts of the body; they say our intestine is our second brain… that’s the house of our emotions … Joe used to talk about using our gut… when we move and we use the work… if we really wanna get centered… we have to move energy through our emotions and move emotions through moment and energy (sounds funny but works ๐)

“The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals” -John Hartford
How many times we had the feeling not to move on, not to progress… because we feel we are going back to the same place, because our teacher is telling us the same things we already heard, because we thought we understood but, there we are again… well… what if this is just part of the process? What if progressing doesn’t mean to hear what we are supposed to do once and all of a sudden being able to do it forever or force your body to do it … what if, instead, the process itself is about doing the work , go through what we need as many times as we need, earning more and more awareness and strength every time and letting the process and the work change us , taking us to places and levels of understanding and awareness that we don’t know and can’t predict until we get there!
So… don’t worry when you feel you are going back where you were… embrace it as a chance to get deeper… keep moving, keep trusting, keep working with grace , gentleness and ruthlessness, persistency, consistency and a loooot of LOVE!๐

๐งโ๏ธ "The action leads the shape” -G.G.
Joe Pilates used to spend hours observing animals, to learn and remember the “right" way of moving, that he was identifying as NATURAL!
In my opinion, when we think about the shapes of the body , we have to remember that what initiates the movement is the ACTION; the research of the shape shouldn’t stop the action, because only the action is the element that allows us to get into the body , the time of the body, its wisdom and to stimulate the nervous system in a way that really leads us to be centered!

๐๐ป "The greatest mistake a man can ever make is to be afraid of making one” -Herbert Hubbard
๐งโ๏ธIn my life I have been so lucky to have amazing teachers guiding me and every day I learn from my clients and my students and from my practice but … my best teachers … always have been, are and will always be my mistakes! All those times that I wish i behaved in a different way, all those times I have a voice inside me but, for whatever reason, I don’t follow it… Every mistake teaches me to be humble, that everything is a process , that I am not alone ,that I don’t have to be afraid to do mistakes because awareness and worrying are different things , they teach me to breath and, most of all, to never give up and that, after falling, I can lift and pull up again to keep growing and reaching for a freer me!
So… embrace your mistakes and pull your stomach up and over ๐

โค๏ธ๐ฅ๐งโ๏ธYou know what the first tool we have, as teachers, is to communicate, to guide, to feel, to understand, to see? Our own body!!
Before thinking about what to say, where to touch, if our clients understand or not what we want… I think we should be aware of our presence in our own bodies, of our feelings, of our energy… We don’t transmit what we say or what we want… We transmit who we are… And we can work on it with grace, kindness, patience, awareness, strength, and love… Doing the work!!!

๐งโ๏ธ"The only things worth seeing are beyond what you can actually see” - Joseph Brown.
In my opinion, it’s never about giving too much attention to only one joint or only one part of the body. As my mentor, Jay Grimes, always told me: “Every exercise is a full-body exercise.” I think we have to be able to see the whole picture all the time, to see what’s happening INSIDE the body, where the movement originates,he intention and the direction of the movement, being open to see what we cannot understand from an analytical process, but what can be perceived through the body… THE BODY KNOWS!

๐งโ๏ธLayers... we all have them" -Natalis Anja
For me, work is not just a tool to “fix” the body and adjust its box; it's a means to move sensations, emotions, and to break old patterns and balances that are no longer the best for that system. It guides the body to find new ones, enabling it to function with the best economy of energies.
The work is meant to unveil layers of experiences and emotions of which we may not even be aware. Through this process, we create space for the body to do so, allowing the entire system to adapt to new, unknown until you know, connections and functions. The work is deep, strong, life-changing, and it requires time, patience, trust, consistency, persistence, acceptance, courage, happiness, and love.

๐ชฝJump... and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall." - Ray Bradbury
For the way we work at Pilates e-motion, lessons are never planned. How can we know in advance what the body needs? Or how the person feels? We want all the attention on what is happening, and the feeling of not knowing in advance how the lesson will unfold can be a little scary when we are not used to it. But then, it becomes exciting and powerful... when you are ready to jump and allow yourself to discover how to fly while falling... you open yourself to infinite possibilities and really understand the power of the practice… ๐

“Find your own voice and use it; use your own voice and find it” -Jayne Cortez
๐งโ๏ธโค๏ธ๐ฅFear, insecurity, vulnerability, doubt… are all feelings that we encounter as Pilates teachers (and human beings ๐). We might think that knowing the “right words” and the “right touch” can protect us from feeling insecure and guide us to do “the right thing,” But, How can we know what the body needs in front of us if we are so focused on what we are supposed to say and do, instead of riding our uncomfortable feelings and making silence to observe, feel, and let the body talk to us?Remembering how the work we do in our own bodies is the source of all the answers… There’s a difference between doing everything right and doing the right thing.
๐๐ป๐At Pilates e-motion, my dream and goal are that every teacher can find their own path, their own voice… We do the same work, but each person does it in their unique way, discovering their own personal gifts, which we often don’t even know we have!

“Integrity gives you real freedom because you have nothing to fear since you have nothing to hide “ -Zig Ziglar
๐โค๏ธ๐ฅ I am so lucky to have the possibility to work in my studio with my lovely clients and students and all over the world meeting wonderful teachers, all happy to share and learn; what I noticed is that we are all worried to do “the right thing” ,the right version of the exercise… and it’s not easy with so many different approaches and techniques.
But… beside technique … what really makes the difference for me in a teacher … are passion, integrity, respect and love for what we do; we can use different techniques, but we all are united by passion, respect and love for what we do!๐

๐งโ๏ธ๐ To teach, you need to know and pass information. To educate, you need to BE and share with others who you are, what you feel, and what you discover every day in your path. It makes you vulnerable, exposed, but it allows you to find your own voice, to truly let the body talk to you, and to learn every day about the work, about yourself, all through an open, honest, and real dialogue with others.

๐งโ๏ธ๐ Joe’s book title, “Return to Life through Contrology,” reminds us that all the wisdom and information about the “ideal” way of moving are already within us. The primary goal of our work is to create the silence, space, and conditions to remember and connect with the wisdom of nature.

“Consciousness is only possible through change; change is only possible through movement” -Aldous Huxley
๐ Pilates is not about analyzing, overthinking, trying too hard to understand, trying too hard to control… it is about allowing the magic of the movement, of the connections, of the rhythm and flow to bring us back to the ability to listen to our body and ourselves and recognize our needs, our potential, our energy, our power,our control…

“Seek to be whole, not perfect” ( Oprah)
It’s all about the relationship among the parts of the body, the relationship among the apparatuses of the system, the relationship between the body and the apparatus , between the body, mind and spirit, between ourselves and the environment, the earth , connection between the body and the springs… it’s all about expanding and feel all the connections, all the relationships, modulate them , listen, feel, move , recognize, try, explore, understand, sense … return to life through Contrology… THE BODY KNOWS ๐

“Evolution is a process of constant branching and expansion “ (Stephen Jay Gould)
When Joe Pilates, in his books, talks about the “ideal movement “, refers to the movement of the animals and of the kids; when I think about that movement, the first word I have in my mind is ELASTICITY , that is what mixes together flexibility and strength.
In my opinion and experience, we don’t need to work flexibility OR strength… if we really use the work, use the springs, use the pressure and resistance, we can obtain elasticity and distribution in the whole body; distribution of power, of strength, of flexibility, of concentration, of flow and we can allow the body to change and adapt and EXPAND… to new connection, new dimension, new awareness… workout after workout, exercise after exercise, flow after flow!

“Create space to simply “be” and clarity emerges for you to see” (Gabriella Goddard)
one of the magic of this work … is the possibility we have to allows us not to know before we do… here’s what I mean: we want to do our job well, we want to guide the body in front of us in the “right” way, we wanna do “the right thing”… this is absolutely RIGHT and part of the work but… if we don’t allow the work to tell us what is the right thing to do and say, we risk to loose the chance to understand it directly from the body… from the hidden messages that the body holds and that we have to learn to be able to see… so … I love to use the work to create silence before anything else and to allow my self to just be… that’s where I find the answers … and deeper this practice becomes … eventually you will even forget about the questions … let the body talk to you … THE BODY KNOWS ๐๐งฟโค๏ธ

What are PILATES E-motion programs based on?
Knowledge of the work, that comes from experience in the work itself… Gloria and all the teachers constantly and regularly “work the work” on their own bodies because , as Jay Grimes says “you cannot teach Pilates, you can only guide people to find it in their own bodies”… so all the teachers explore and grow through a constant journey on their own bodies;
Experience on teaching to real people … our best teachers are our clients… different kind of bodies with different kind of needs… as teachers, we have to able to adapt and read the body in front of us … experience with as many different bodies as possible is a big treasure to understand and know the work.
Pilates e-motion also offers you an understanding of the work from the anatomical and biomechanical point of view… Gloria is a chinesiologist and cooperates with her amazing dad… the worldwide renewed Prof. Maurizio Gasperi (endocrinologist) @profgasperi.endocrinologo in creating learning sections of the school to give a deeper understanding of the how and why we deliver the work the way we do.
If you are interested in deepen this aspect of the school, you can PURCHASE THE RECORDING of the INTENSIVE TRAINING of ANATOMY, PHISIOLOGY and BIOMECHANICS, held c/o the School last July! They have been 5 magical days of immersion in the work and its deepness.

This second meeting of the class 2023/24 of the Master Program has been beautiful, deep, strong, organic, intense … all the students discovered more about themselves, about the work, about their unique voices , about their needs and how to observe the body in front of them with respect, vision, understanding …
We have been working on the touch, on push and pulls , with hands and springs and on everything that the work was asking us to work on!
Everything came out organic, fluid and deep from the immersion in the work and from the work that they do everyday, with the goal to be the fullest version of themselves.
Thank you all for your wonderful work, for the inspiration, for the light and respect!

L’ARCHITETTO DELLA NATURA
Oggi è il Fibonacci Day. La successione di Fibonacci è strettamente correlata al concetto di “sezione aurea”.
In questa successione, ogni numero è uguale alla somma dei due numeri precedenti. Ad esempio, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377.
Se prendiamo due numeri consecutivi nella sequenza di Fibonacci e li dividiamo, otteniamo un rapporto che si avvicina al numero aureo (circa 1.61803), che è stato ampiamente utilizzato in arte e architettura.
La sezione aurea è considerata esteticamente piacevole e armoniosa e si può trovare in molte opere d’arte famose, come il Partenone ad Atene e la Grande Piramide di Giza. Anche artisti come Leonardo da Vinci e Salvador Dalí hanno utilizzato la sezione aurea nelle loro opere.
Si manifesta in modi affascinanti e inaspettati, e la cosa ancor più interessante è che la natura stessa ne fa uso.
Uno degli esempi più noti dell’applicazione della successione di Fibonacci in natura è la disposizione delle foglie su molte piante. Queste foglie sono spesso disposte in un modello che segue la successione di Fibonacci, permettendo a ciascuna foglia di ricevere la massima quantità di luce solare.
Un altro esempio si trova nei petali dei fiori. Molti fiori hanno un numero di petali che è un numero di Fibonacci. Ad esempio, alcune varietà di margherite possono avere 34, 55 o addirittura 89 petali, tutti numeri di Fibonacci.
La successione di Fibonacci non si limita alla Terra. Gli scienziati hanno scoperto che questa sequenza può essere applicata anche all’universo in generale. Ad esempio, la spirale di Fibonacci può essere vista nelle galassie a spirale.
Inoltre, la successione di Fibonacci è stata utilizzata per descrivere il comportamento di certi tipi di onde radio provenienti dallo spazio. Questo suggerisce che la successione di Fibonacci può avere un ruolo nella descrizione delle leggi fondamentali dell’universo.
“To gain freedom is to gain simplicity “ (Joan Miro’)
This quote from my favorite painter reminds me to everything that my mentor Jay Grimes always says and that I learn every day from my clients, my students, the work itself!
The body is a very complex and beautiful “machine”, the work and the system of Pilates are very complex but … complex doesn’t mean complicated! Complex means deep, means not to be taken for granted, means not obvious and simplistic , means full of surprises and of doors that keep opening but… it’s simple!
And once we quite the mind and our internal dialogue from trying too hard to explain, to make it complicated… and we really get into the body and its own time and space… then we can see the simplicity, the power, the freedom, the magic!
SIMPLICITY- FREEDOM- DEEPNESS - MEANING -EFFECTIVENESS - POWER

“Decide to remain true to yourself “ (J.H. Pilates)
First weekend of Module 3 Cadillac Barrel and Chairs!
We explored, felt, experimented, connected … to the work, to ourselves , to the others , to the exercises , to life, to Mother Nature, to our own Nature… very nice and intense start ๐
It’s so amazing for me to keep growing with my students and the work , to remember what amazing tool is this work to refresh and never take for granted who we are and why we do what we do, what “work from the center “ really means to us and to work not to become the best version of our… but the most real one, the most complete and for the integrity of ourselves!
A huge thank you to Carlottina @carlotta_giordy for being my Angel and to Dina Vitale @_enjoypilates_dina_vitale and Lesley Bell @lespalermopilates for being by my side every day and be such incredible women and teachers and help me to spread and develop our E-motion dream ๐
Always thank you my beloved tribe for your trust, your work, your souls !
Love you ๐ฎ

๐ฑ Pilates is an invitation to rediscover parts of yourself that life sometimes hides away.
As we move, we awaken that inner wisdom that our minds may overlook.
Let's dive into this transformative experience together. ๐๐งโ๏ธ

“Ignore the noise, focus on your work” -cit.-
Not easy for any of us… to keep remembering who we are and why we do what we do… to stay open to the world and keep our attention spread and expanded but, at the same time, being able to filter the messages we receive… it requires to be always in contact with our center and listen and observe and to be honest to yourself (probably the hardest job๐), being gentle and ruthless at the same time — patience, persistence, love , vision…
ANd if you are so lucky to be surrounded by an amazing tribe of incredibly unique and talented people … well… the work is more powerful, more fun, more extended , more deep and you remember that you can receive help … from people, from the world , from yourself… life is amazing ๐๐๐งฟ๐ฎ๐จ๐

“Nothing taught by force stays in the soul” (Plato)
I think as teachers- and also as practitioners actually- one of the most important and hardest lessons to learn and remember is that everything we wanna accomplish on our own bodies and our students/ clients ones, has to come for a process inside out.
There’s a a subtle but huge difference between fixing a body and healing a body… we don’t have to force to try and enter the full spaces but gently and ruthlessly create the right pressure in the empty spaces, so to create the availability in the body to the change. This because the real change will stay and work only if it happened from inside , otherwise will be something shallow and temporary.
We need patience, consistency , passion , love and respect and the results will be magical because… the body knows and the soul can breath!

“Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day became your profession” (cit.)
Some more moments from an amazing experience in Israel!
One of the so many reasons I love this job is the possibility that it gives me to share my passion: passion for movement; it gives me the possibility to learn every day: learn about the human body, learn about feelings, about infin possibilities that we have to know ourselves and connect to the center, to our deep often unknown selves and to discover every moment who we are and who we wanna be!
Thank you to all the amazing teachers who shared these moments with me in Israel and brought all their passion โค๏ธ
Thank you @pilatestudio_joseph and @terra_pilates_studio and thank you @jakobl_eon for the amazing pics ๐๐งฟ
“No pressure , no diamonds “ (Thomas Carlyle)
In the Pilates System we have an amazing tool to teach how to use the pressure and make it a wonderful occasion to reach, create space and expand ourselves: the springs!
They teach us that real control is not about holding everything and try not to make anything happen… real control is about flowing with everything that happens, using the pressure and use everything that happens choosing how to respond. More I work, more I love this incredible method!
Thank you Joe!๐๐งฟ

“We adore chaos because we love to produce order “ (M.C. Escher)
This wonderful group of great people started last week their path on the School with the Summer intensive Module 1 of Mat and Reformer๐
Some of them are completely new to this job, someone decided , after years of experience, to keep exploring the work from a different point of view… everyone explored, played, worked, observed, sweat , learned and found that order comes from inside and it’s all about the way you look at things that matters and helps you to see what the body really needs!๐
Thank you all and… the best is yet to come ๐
