      <image:title>Blog - My Five Top Tips - Proper alignment is having our shoulders lined up over the center of our rib cage with our shoulders down. Some people do well with imagery, so imagine your shoulders being gently pushed down by a waterfall and the water running down your back. Or, imagine your shoulders as icecream melting down your back. Every time you realize your shoulders are up by your ears or they just feel too high, gently push them down. This will take time, but it will help your neck and shoulder pain immensely! And, it is wonderful for good posture.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Why Pilates? - What is my favorite part of Pilates? All the things. If I have to choose one though, it would be posture. It’s aligning your bones to stack one on top of the other like they are built to be. Being at one with gravity.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I know from experience that Pilates helps you move better, stand taller, and sit straighter. You can transform your life on every level - physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual with Pilates. It can help you live your life more fully!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - About Jenny</image:title>
      <image:caption>I was an active teen, but I always had back pain. I tried chiropractic care as a kid, and then in college, I did physical therapy. As an adult and mom, I tried yoga and then cranial sacral therapy. Nothing relieved my back pain, and I felt like I was battling with my body. One day, I ended up home alone and stuck lying on the floor for 2 hours in horrible low back pain until someone could help me get up.  My doctor suggested I try Pilates. Pilates strengthened my core and gave me the full-body strength, length, and beautiful posture I wanted and needed. Finally, I was living a life without constant back pain. I realized even though Pilates was hard work, I felt peaceful doing it. I craved the mind-body connection just as much as I loved the physical workout. That love turned into a career, and now I’m a Pilates instructor in my own studio. The Pilates exercises didn’t come naturally, which makes me the perfect person to teach clients my ways. I break down the movements into practical and relevant concepts that people can immediately apply in the real world. I consider myself very lucky as I get to help others with low back pain or other types of physical struggles, move their body, just like someone helped me. My clients leave my studio with mind-body awareness and a stronger, more flexible, and balanced body. I am a Balanced Body Certified Pilates Instructor.  I studied under internationally recognized master instructor Tom McCook at Center of Balance in Mountain View, California.  I've been practicing Pilates for 14 years and enjoy taking continuing education courses. My current mentor, Nora St. John, is the creator of the very popular Balanced Body Teacher Education in Sacramento, CA, and has traveled the world teaching Pilates teachers. I am close to obtaining my Advanced Certification by taking courses at various locations in the U.S. Pilates has changed my body and my life. I move with strength, ease, and efficiency, and I love the way Pilates makes me feel connected to my body. When I'm not practicing pilates or teaching it, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two adult children, hiking, playing at the lake, and snuggling with my two bulldogs.</image:caption>
