One of the most common questions i receive when teaching at ALGO Pilates, whether in DIP or Motor City, is: ”Anesti, how many times per week should i do Pilates?” And honestly, it’s a very good question.

Hi everyone, Today’s newsletter is a little more career-oriented, and I want to share some thoughts about a topic that comes to my mind very often.

Instead of focusing on Pilates as a method or industry, i felt it was important to address something that is becoming more and more common: training alone at home, especially on Pilates equipment like the Reformer. Recently we see a growing number […]
Hello everyone, For this month’s newsletter, I felt the need to pause and reflect. Rather than talking about Pilates as an industry, I wanted to speak to something more meaningful – how we care for ourselves during uncertain times, and the role Pilates plays in supporting us beyond movement. Some months ask more of us […]
Hi everyone, When i review our Pilates programming across the Mat, Reformer, and Tower rooms, the role of dumbbells remains an important consideration. Throughout my teaching career, there have been periods when dumbbells were consistently integrated into my classes and periods when they were completely removed.
