PILATES PLUS BLOG

It is always encouraging when someone says to me that they want to be able to work out on their own. People think that they can go to a trainer one to three times a week and all their problems will be solved immediately. That is very rarely the case. Pilates is a process. We can “fix” one issue, to find there is something else going on that was not noticed before. That is the beauty of Pilates. There is always improvement. When you do certain exercises on your own, the process becomes not only faster-but you have now taken ownership. We are now offering free video on our website to encourage you to build that strength on your own. If you have any questions please email. Within 10 sessions you will feel a difference-sometimes it only takes one.

Many people ask us if we offer heated yoga.  While the short answer no, there is good reason why we don’t offer it.  While practicing yoga in a heated room makes you sweat and allows you to stretch deeper, more injury can come from exercising in a heated room.  The heat from the room tricks your body into working more deeply.  While you feel great when you are exercising in the heat, you go out into the cold and your muscles snap right back to where they were, which is when serious injury can occur.

Nowadays, criminals are so fast and lethal, they will do whatever it takes to perform their attacks and get away with ease. In order to stop an attacker of this nature, you need to learn the skills and awareness techniques to defuse the situation or just GET AWAY!

Reality based self defense will teach you how to stop an attacker using a variety of military style combatives and defensive weapon programs. You will also learn the psychology and combative mindset needed in order to make the defense techniques work.

“Reality Based Self Defense” or RBSD is a system based on situations that occur in your everyday life. RBSD also takes into consideration the environment, using weather and low light areas as two large factors. Most of the skills and techniques learned in RBSD revolve around awareness, mindset, reaction, and performing techniques that use simple gross motor skills. This makes the system very easy to learn. Military and law enforcement use these types of training methods because they sometimes have very little time to teach the criteria and rely on the simple but highly effective gross motor skill movements and strikes that RBSD teaches.

RBSD trains using real life scenarios and psychology as its main focal point. Participants act out roles and situations that go on in our lives each and everyday.

If you are interested in learning skills that will work in the streets and the traditional martial arts styles aren’t for you, then Reality Based Self Defense courses are right up your alley.
