Mosh pits are about to get interesting at revival tours.
Not saying I felt old seeing Dave Matthews Band yesterday, but everyone got one of these upon admission

Was mesmerized by movement at last night’s Jubilee of Dance Houston that ended with force with Bolero. Mad respect for how dancers have such control & grace. #houstonballet #dance

Last minute Houston Ballet tickets with wifey @probalancetv.bsky.social. Houston culture & events downtown are way underrated. ❤️

I have been without a voice since Thanksgiving & it is beyond frustrating. I asked AI to create an image of a skeleton Pilates teacher depicting this frustration of not being able to teach her online Pilates classes. This is pretty much spot on. Gives me more gratitude for when my voice returns.

Anyone catch any Black Friday sales for your child’s college tuition? I’m out of luck for mine. 😂💸 #nyu #blackfriday

Ha! Gotta share the name of that cream!😉
I put on anti-aging cream last night, and this morning my Spotify recommended me the 'Top Hits of 2004.' It's working!

“Both #pain and symptoms of depression act on areas of the brain associated with cognitive processing. Therefore, there’s an overlap of information, causing the brain to become congested and have to delegate some functions to process the pain response and the symptoms of #depression."

#neuroscience
Joint pain associated with depressive symptoms accelerates cognitive decline in the elderly
Conclusion comes from study that followed more than 4,000 people aged 50 or older for 12 years; damage is mainly in brain areas associated with memory.

The first in a series of Post stories I'm writing about the science of aging. I hope we all turn out to be 'brain youthers'

Inside your body, aging unfolds at remarkably different rates
New research shows aging is not a uniform process. Parts of our bodies start aging earlier than others, right down to our organs and cells.

This is cool.We incorporate standing postural sway with eyes open/closed in many of our classes as part of our “check in” before getting into the “meat” of the workout. Especially fun in our “Konnect the Dots” classes where we incorporate a gentle axial load with a resistance band. #pilates #posture
Our latest paper is out : non-linear measures of postural activity show distinctive patterns in #fallers compared to non-fallers (independent of the effects of #aging) and specific relationship with cognition

Time to move my spine. 45 min workout in 1min. I love having my reformer at home. No excuse on space. We live in a 1 BR urban loft. It stacks on the wall behind me by the clock in less than 30 sec. (Real time). #pilates #fitness #spacesaver

This past week, I have been glued to the computer since our studio is doing a software switch. My body feels it. “Ergonomic desks”
are a joke if sitting, slightly more tolerable if standing. I’m grabbing my computer and hitting the floor where I can vary my movement as I work and think. #officebod

Males and females have profoundly different #sleep patterns. New study in Scientific Reports shows females sleep less, wake up more often and get less restorative sleep than males. Females are still underrepresented in preclinical sleep research. Too bad. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you know where you are in space? Here are some Kneeling rotations from our online “Konnect the Dots” Mat class featuring the Konnections band. A 8’ yellow (light) resistance band can be substituted. #pilates #bewellstaywell #onlinepilates #balancedbody #proprioception #mindfulmovement

As we age, we need to workout both smarter and harder to make gains and slow the aging process. How are you doing this in your life? #pilates #longevity
