Why Every Runner Should Be Doing Pilates!

As some of you know I am running my first Half Marathon in July! Let’s just say running and I haven’t always had the best relationship… I was the kid who faked sick the day we had to run the mile in gym class. I just never thought it was something that I could enjoy. Today I happily admit that I was wrong.  I have been training for the last 9 weeks and now actually look forward to my runs. Wha?!?  In my teaching career I have worked with a lot of runners so know how…

DECONSTRUCTING A FLEXPILATES PLAYLIST

It’s no secret that music is a huge part of every FLEX workout.  The playlist can make or break a class, which is why we spend a lot of time and energy to make them so awesome! Ever wonder just what goes into the making of one of my FlexPilates playlists?  Here’s last week’s class & playlist with a glimpse into the process of how it all comes together and why I chose the songs I did… Opener/Warmup Friend (Hard Times) by Galantis  The opener is key to setting the tone for the class.  I like…

feelfood, feel good

Lanae’s Go-To Lunch Spot In the sea of fast food that is 14th street, there is nothing that gets us flexers more excited than a new healthy eatery. Welcome feelfood! Located on 6th & 12th, this organic shop is going to be your new go to.

Think spelt wrap with chicken, I add avocado (duh), goat cheese (duh again) & kale. Good-bye midday slump! And don’t worry, if something…
