Where we help women redefine their relationship with body image, self-care, exercise and nourishment.
Self-love mantras sound good, in theory, right? Reminding yourself how brilliant or wonderful you are to overcome your self-doubt is a great idea—but it’s not taking the whole picture into account. This particular ideology says that if you believe in a certain outcome or think hard enough, the universe (higher power, source, God) will present
This is not your average Pilates before and after. You’re not going to find any photos or talk of body weight. For us at Lindywell, the true “before and after” is often felt even more than seen—and this is how we find our members naturally reframe their transformation after joining. When workouts meet you where
At Lindywell, we focus on Pilates mat exercises because we love how accessible they are. Whether you’re targeting your arms, legs, or core, you can do your workout anywhere. Sometimes, you don’t even need a mat! (Our standing workouts are a favorite in the community.) Another thing we love about mat pilates is how fun
Somatic breathwork, despite how it may sound, is not technical or complicated. In fact, if you’ve ever done a breathwork session with me at Lindywell, you’ve already done it! At Lindywell, we consider somatic breathwork a conscious form of breathing that is intended to help you experience being in your body. It teaches you to
Here at Lindywell, we’ve been focusing on turning play into a daily habit, both on and off the Pilates mat. What I’ve found is that taking time for play is about so much more than just having fun—it’s an essential component of my mental and physical health. As adults, however, it can be difficult to
If you search “how to calm your nervous system” in Google you’ll find hundreds of options—and I’m very intentional about how I do this too. It’s something we talk about all the time at Lindywell. A favorite of mine, though, is play. It’s one of the most overlooked ways to stay well. It’s easy to
If you’ve been playing the Pilates vs. weight training game (Which one is better? Which one should I choose?)—I have good news: you don’t have to choose. Even better, when you combine Mat Pilates (Pilates without a reformer, which is what we do at Lindywell) with weight training, you reap the benefits of both. When
Mindful movement changed the fitness game for me. I spent years exercising without any sense of what my body needed or how it actually felt. Coincidentally, I could also never stay consistent with any program or routine. I’d be invested and excited for a few months and then life would get busy and all of
The benefits of wall sits go much further than just getting you through the dreaded middle school PE tests! While not all fitness challenges have stood the test of time, the wall sits exercise is still one of the most effective ways to build strength in your core and lower body. That’s why I love
In the battle of motivation vs. consistency, which one wins? While both can be key components of your health and fitness journey, we at Lindywell believe one is better at helping you build lifelong habits than the other. The difference between these two may not be so obvious on the surface, so let’s break down
We all want to cultivate that sense of true happiness within, but if this mood seems impossible to maintain, I see you. A recent global survey found that 45 percent of respondents have not felt happiness in more than two years. Another 25 percent are not even sure what it means to be happy. Most
Plank alternatives are a great way to honor your body. While we have no issue with planks here at Lindywell—we love them!—we also recognize that this type of exercise is not for everyone. Planks can be difficult or downright painful if you’re struggling with chronic pain in your shoulders, wrists, or spine. They can also
