Pilates Self-Care Saturday: Sea Moss and its benefits

Pilates Wellness Wednesday: Energy Audit
Soft morning light fills the room as you sit with coffee and steady thoughts. Most people move through the week on autopilot. They feel tired, distracted, or unfocused, then blame the usual suspects.

Pilates Selfcare Saturday: The Truth About Mewing and Tongue Posture
Subtle facial imbalance highlighting the role of proper tongue placement and oral posture awareness. The internet loves a miracle.
