Is What’s “Comfortable” Causing Your Pain?
Lately I’ve been discussing how sometimes the things that we think of as comfortable (in theory) often end up causing long term tightness and pain. It takes a long time for the pain and tightness to become noticeable or cause injury, and it also takes a while to...
High Heels and Your Spine
My last post was about pillows and how they can affect your spine. Want to guess another thing that really does a number on your body? High heels. They look cute, but ever notice your back is super tight after a few hours of wearing heels? That’s because your whole...
Your Pillow and Your Spine
Do you have mysterious neck or low back pain? So much of what we do when we start an exercise program is simply UN-doing the unnatural shapes and tensions our bodies need to adapt to in order to fit into our “modern” and “more comfortable” lives. The body is so...
ELDOA for Musicians (and my first IG live!)
It's crazy to think about how much change we have all gone through the past 2 years. Some big, some small - some good, and some not so good. Right before the pandemic I was teaching Pilates in my studio space that I shared with a colleague. We loved our space and...

The Pelvis and how it affects the rest of the body
I think of fall as a "back to school” time even if I’m not actually in school. I always like to either take a class in a new skill or at least read a book about a new topic. And that’s what I did! I just got back from another ELDOA training where we learned all...
Getting Started with Pilates and ELDOA
Hello Friends! Good movements = good health! Did you know that your body needs to move for optimal health? Maintaining strength, mobility and flexibility in all of our joints - even the small ones - is important for overall balance and well being, and can have a...
What is ELDOA?
ELDOA is an acronym in French, which in English would translate as LOADS (Longtitudinal Osteo Articular Decoaptation Stretches). ELDOAs are specific positions that put tension on the fascial lines (the tension is created by your own muscle strength) of the body in...
