Aligning posture from the skeletal level with Pilates and conditioning using props

Good morning.
Okinawa 🌺 Pilates + Conditioning
Vibra here.

Yesterday, I held two lessons 😄
In the morning, a 90-minute semi-personal training session (two students).
In the afternoon, a one-on-one personal session with one student.

Here is my luggage for the morning session.

I had the students bring their own yoga mats
and stretch poles.

When I asked about their physical condition and areas of concern:
- My whole body feels stiff as a board.
- I want to align my entire skeletal structure.
- I want to train my whole body (both abs and glutes).
- My waistline is a bit heavy, so today I want to try focusing more on muscle training than stretching.

So,
first,using the stretch pole,
we reset the misaligned skeleton✨
releasing the front of the body that had shrunk from desk work,
and preparing the loosened back to be easier to train.

After slowly releasing the tightened chest, abdomen, pelvic area, hip joints, and front thighs,

we improved the range of motion in the rib cage ✨
We worked on improving the movement of the ribs and thoracic spine,
which had become stiff from desk work.
When you breathe, the ribs move more easily in three dimensions—front, side, and back—
putting you in a state where it's easier to perform your natural, deep breathing ✨

We performed pelvic adjustments (with effects comparable to chiropractic care)
☺️

We spent about 30 minutes on this so far,
carefully and thoroughly without strain ✨
Once the entire skeleton is beautifully aligned,
we are ready for training👌


To maintain that beautiful posture,
you need the strength of the inner muscles that support the skeleton!

Inner muscles are small muscles located deep within the body
that cannot be seen from the outside
and cannot be touched.

In contrast to the easy-to-see, muscular outer muscles 💪, they are quite understated 😁

Literally,the unsung heroes, the inner muscles,are muscles that can only be trained accurately through subtle movements.
We will train the inner muscles in order!

Based on Pilates movements,
and not just Pilates,
using various movements based on functional anatomy,
we trained the abs, back, glutes, legs, and the entire body.

Are you moving correctly without swaying?

How should you use your body to stabilize your core?
Are you cheating and using other muscles?

If a movement is difficult,
I insert other exercises in between
to help them grasp the sensation with a load that suits their muscle strength.

How about this?
Are you feeling it in these muscles?

While checking, we ensure effective results.

After finishing the 90-minute lesson like this,
they look noticeably more bust-up and hip-up,
even more beautiful and wonderful than before the lesson 💓

As the posture aligns, the mind also aligns,
leaving them with a bright mood ♪ and a wonderful smile✨
That smile is my reward🥰

I received the comment, 'This is true mindfulness, isn't it!'
☺️

Even though we talked about taking before-and-after photos, everyone was so satisfied after the lesson that
we forgot to take the after photos 😅

Because their physical condition and posture improve so quickly ✨

Even when they are feeling a bit under the weather or feel a headache coming on,
many people still come to participate in the lesson.

I feel energized after the lesson!Everyone who joins the small-group lessons
says this in unison 😊

Even if they are tired from work, they say,I know I'll feel better,
so I want to come to the lesson even more when my body feels rough, they say.

Therefore, I am very careful about pacing,
while considering each person's physical condition.

In a good way, everyone comes to me for maintenance as if they were rushing to a doctor.
I also feel like a primary care physician to them.

One-on-one or semi-personal sessions are
even more so than group lessons,
completely custom-made lesson plans.

The sense of satisfaction is even higher 💕

I love the friendly atmosphere of group lessons,
where everyone enjoys doing it together ❤️

I also feel the joy of being able to truly support each person
in individual sessions where I can engage with them more deeply.

There's no other personal training like this!
I am always told that it is
completely different from other personal training.

Usually, personal training is
just strength training for outer muscles, after all.

This personal skeletal maintenance,
centered on subtle inner muscles,
is more like chiropractic care.
Or rather, a moving beauty treatment.
It's a women's body-making specialty
that provides proper strength training, not just healing.

Yesterday, I was able to provide great satisfaction in the morning and afternoon,
and I also received a happy sense of fulfillment myself 🥰

In between, I met up with my eldest son's family for lunch.

My work as a trainer and
this peaceful, happy time with my family.

I wish days like this would continue,
it was a happy day that made me think so ✨

I want to increase the number of days
where I can feel happy like this
more and more from now on 😊

I would be happy if I could be of service to many women online,
such as women in the menopause generation
or women who work hard even when they are exhausted.

I can provide individual online sessions
via Zoom.
Online?
You might be thinking that,
but I believe it depends on the trainer.
There is no need to worry about online sessions,
as it is definitely possible to achieve results.😊

If you have tried machine Pilates and
thought, 'I know I need to exercise, but this is impossible for me!'
then I would really like you to try my session.

I am sure you will be moved by how muchyour body and mind can be aligned.♪
This is what maintenance is all about.🥰

I am rooting for your health from the bottom of my heart.💕
