Hey Pilates Queens!
June is one of my favorite months of the year. I feel this ease of transition into summer with the Summer Solstice occurring on June 21st. The sun makes its way around the northernmost part of the sky, marking it the longest day of the year. An official sign that summer is here!
The Summer Solstice represents the next step of this divine rhythm. Always occurring at the start of the Cancer Sun Season, the Summer Solstice reminds us to turn inward and find the nourishment needed to grow and evolve. It is a time to pause and wait for the energy planted in the spring to reach full bloom – according to Spiritual Gangster.
It’s so interesting how the Solstice is a reminder to pause and find growth within and just be, but usually we do the complete opposite. School is out, schedules go crazy, and we rev our engines to 110% and power through the next 3 months on overdrive.
Let’s be reminded of the spiritual connection of traveling from darkness to light and bring that with our bodies and mind through the month of June. I want to find time to nurture myself and others this June, and it was intentional to bring my Pilates practice and focus back to the basics and the foundation to allow those seeds that we initially planted to grow again.
Meaning, it is important to come back to the beginner work in Pilates because it is a good reminder for ourselves that movement is initiated from the core out. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the movement and pushing our bodies to their limits that we forget how and why we started Pilates in the first place.
For the month of June, I have designed a completely FREE Beginner Pilates 10-Day Core + Ab Challenge to help you build your solid Pilates foundation (again), activate your deep core, and master the power of breathwork.
Take this month and the Summer Solstice to allow for awakening within yourself. There’s no better way to accomplish this than to come back to the beginning to build (or rebuild) your Pilates foundation. You will find the Beginner Pilates 10-Day Core + Ab Challenge, as well as the Beginner Pilates Foundational Class and Pilates Exercises Tutorials helpful inside the PILATESBODY On-Demand App.
When you move well, you feel well inside and out. The mind is more resilient and all of this translates into your daily life and why Pilates is a lifestyle.
