Make Time for Pilates This Holiday Season

holiday season, christmas, pilates

Skipping class is tempting during the winter. The sun rises later, sets earlier, and it’s easier just to stay inside where it’s warm and relaxing. During the holiday season this temptation gets even harder to resist. After all, you’re so busy that it’s nearly impossible to say no to a little down time. While we truly understand the urge, we want to encourage you all to make time for Pilates this holiday season.

Pilates can help you power through this busy season, and feel better while you’re doing it. One of the ways it can help is by providing you a healthy outlet for stress, including the pent-up tension you retain in your muscles that lead to headaches and pain. This will make dealing with that busy holiday schedule, and the stress that often comes with it, a lot easier!

Practicing Pilates has also been shown to improve your metabolism – read more about it in this article from Prevention. To receive this important benefit, however, you must engage in regular training sessions. Since so much of our time from November through the end of the year includes over-indulging, this is a particularly important reason not to skip class!

The regular practice of Pilates can also help you overcome the holiday-blues and general depression many people feel around this time of year (Read more). It does this by stimulating the release of endorphins, a compound your body can release to improve your mental outlook instantly. These are typically released during physical activity, and can also help you overcome chronic pain. (Read more)

There’s no downside to making time for Pilates, so instead of skipping class, come on in and find out how much brighter the holiday season can be!

  • Why MELT?
  • Five years ago I was driving home from Branson and saw the advertisement for Everybody Pilates on a billboard. I was 79 years old, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and had tried several different exercise programs only to find myself injured and unable to continue.. I supposed I wasn’t suited for Pilates but I called anyway. I was surprised to find that Heather suggested an evaluative visit.

    I came to the studio, bringing my aging and aching body. Heather determined she could work with me, and I’ve been going there ever since.

    When people ask me why I go to Pilates, I usually answer that I like being stronger and pain-free. On my list of budget priorities the first two are food and shelter. The third is Pilates. As far as I’m concerned Pilates is a necessity.

    Besides being a delightful person Heather is knowledgeable and carefully attentive to my individual needs.

  • I have been attending classes twice a week at Everybody Pilates for over two years. What started as something that my wife and I could do together has turned into a necessity for me. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my core strength, balance, and flexibility. Denise is a great motivator, and does an outstanding job of mixing things up. So, we’re always learning something new. I am a firm believer in the benefits of Pilates, and highly recommend Everybody Pilates.

  • I was introduced to Everybody Pilates by my daughter 10 years ago when I moved to the Springfield area. I have been in classes there once or twice a week ever since. – Pilates is wonderful exercise that leaves you feeling strong and flexible. I feel much stronger, with better balance and greater flexibility, than I did 10 years ago. That’s saying a lot. I love the group classes but, when I had to have surgery a few years ago, Heather and Denise were able to provide private classes geared to my capabilities until I could work my way back. I love having those options available to me. I’m not an avid exerciser. Left to my own devices, I can find many reasons not to exercise. Knowing that Heather or Denise were expecting me to be at class at a certain time was great incentive to me to actually go to class. I need that little push to make sure I get the exercise I know I need.

  • Within 10 days of using the MELT Method, I was able to stop taking Tramadol, a pain medicine that I’ve been taking since 2008! My next goal is to get off of the anti-inflammatory drug that is eating away at the lining of my stomach. I’ve been dealing with foot pain since 2004. I had surgery in 2008 to fuse two joints in my left foot, 2015, doctors recommend 3 joint fusion on right foot – not going to do it! The majority of my joints in both feet are bone-on-bone. Started using the MELT Method on 3/19. I have less pain, less tightness, I can feel more of my foot on the floor. I can work all day, and come home and do yard work, which I could have never done before using the MELT Method!
