BALANCE YOUR SKILLS ON 2 MOTR’s ❗️❣️

#throwbackthursday to #santabarbara @daryabronston ‘s studio. (Creator of the Motr no less)
Where we/I had a play on the Motrs old and new:)

Here I got into the flow balancing , challenging hips and upper body. And it was 🥵!!

PILATES MASTER INSTRUCTOR

AND SO IT CAME TO PASS…
Scroll through ➡️➡️➡️

It started with a joke, but inside I was churning!

Nothing like presenting to a room full of your peers and excellent instructors from around the globe 😓

But I got into my flow, not the least thanks to my willing (or not!) amazing demonstrator @heidi.m.coles . She spurred me on, as did the room full of caring and supportive inspirations:)

It’s taken a week to digest this mammoth learning and experience, and there’s a lot more to sift through.

One of the toughest, most enlightening and revealing experiences I’ve ever had. Now my job is to pay it forward!:))

Thank you to all of you at the MI course, to the inspirational and exceptional @nora.s.john.7 who guided us expertly and patiently. To clients and friends back home who supported me, not the least my wife Nikki! 🙏🏼

It feels awesome and I feel very lucky and proud.

BB MI’s unite!

One of my take aways from our excellent @balanced_body Master Instructor course last week…

Get out of your comfort zone! Look at those stiff shoulders and chest:) One baby step for … a baby 😂

Thank you my extraordinary peers and @themovingdpt & @heidi.m.coles for nudging me… hard!!

Practice, learn, eat, sleep repeat for 8 days:)

To be any good at our profession and to train new teachers, this is what we must do. The learning never stops!

So much gratitude to the @balanced_body team and @nora.s.john.7 . Also to the exceptional global instructors who surround me here 🙏🏼

And to Ken here, the founder and visionary behind Balanced Body!!

WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH!

On our Master Instructor course here in Sacramento, we have to delve into all the variations and details of a ton of exercises.

I’m in the mix of some of the most talented global instructors around. Here I had the amazing @heidi.m.coles doing her presentation, with me as her very sweaty guinea pig 😂

This is a hard , intense and hugely gratifying experience. Brain and body frazzle for a very worthy purpose.

Such a tragedy… (watch the next two clips)
I was literally driving past Mariposa on Friday on the 140 highway, watching huge plumes of smoke fill the sky. Trucks and sirens blaring towards the scene passed me on my way to Sacramento.
I had no idea how much these fires would escalate, it’s really tragic.
I’d just spent a few days enjoying and marvelling at Yosemite’s natural beauty. To see so much destruction to nature is heartbreaking.
To see so many evacuated and in danger of losing their lives and homes, even more heartbreaking.
And some say there’s no climate change issue?????!!!

Even the hikes I took, led me on paths of ash, not soil. From the previous fires.

LIMBERING UP IN SANTA BARBARA
On the original MOTR and the new one.

Outside @daryabronston ‘s studio I thought I’d best warm up (despite 38c outside 😂) before our session:)

We were about to go through some paces and get a glow on! And I’d been in a car for quite some hours from LA so I had to move!

THE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE MOTR
The history of the Motr

On this weeks visit to @daryabronston ‘s studio in Santa Barbara, Darya talked me through, and showed me her original prototype of the CoreBody Reformer (MOTR). Made by Nautilus.

Acorns to Oak trees! This vision turned into the MOTR we use today. The one we train with, that challenges and tests us and the one that’s finding new legions of fans!
Thank you Darya, for inventing the MOTR and for your warm & generous hospitality. Oh yes, and for the ‘loaded’ torture too 😂

i’VE BEEN LAYING LOW OF LATE

Partly due to some time out and partly due to frustration with Instagram algorithms, and not understanding their sudden changes!??

Anyway, back to a little ab workout:)

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME
But I feel I need to pick up my game and start testing myself a little more!

It’s easy to gravitate to our strengths and I realise I’ve been going that way. Time to explore some ‘less comfortable’ zones!

IT’S BEEN A WHILE.. CADDY PULL

Arm strength comes from your back. Be conscious of the foundation here, or on any pull up.

Hitching the straps higher increases the loading.
The rest, that hang feels GREEEAT! 🦁

(Keep the articulation in mind as you lift/lower the hips 😉)

Thank you @claraden

ONCE UPON A TIME
Before I switched to the danger and adrenaline of Pilates! :)))

Love what I do and have a passion for it but will never forget the Olympic experience and privilege of partaking in Bobsleigh.
Every moment and step etched in my memory.

With scars to remind me!! 😂
