“I’m around the corner from 80! Thank God for Pilates”
This was this mornings quote from my beautiful client who has been with me for 10 years! Diana is so inspiring! She works hard to be mindful of her movement; she has gained so much mobility in her spine in this past year! So proud of her tenacity and dedication!

Pilates is finally making it way into many facets of sports and athletics. It’s very common to see football, baseball, soccer, and rugby players doing pilates. When living in California pilates was many surfers favorite regimen.

How is your 2024 so far?!! This month marks the 10 year Anniversary of ABSOLUTE FLOW pilates! I couldn’t have done it without this guy!

Below is the schedule
Absolute Flow will be closed 12/24-12/29
Class on 12/30
Closed on 1/1
No class on 1/2 Evening only
I would like to acknowledge an amazing athlete who has been part of Abflow almost since the beginning, after being referred by one of our very loyals, Don Hawkins, who has sent so many great clients our way. Dave turns 80 in November and though his mobility has its challenges after suffering a stroke, he keeps his spirits up and the drive and fire of an accomplished athlete still remain within. He is all heart when it comes to a regimen that continues to strengthen certain muscle groups. After an exercise, he often says “I feel it everywhere, especially in my stomach”
He still does pilates from home weekly! Check out this article from thesouthern.com written about David in October and his great accomplishments through the years

What progress I have seen with my client over this past year. Her connection to finding those shoulder and back muscles working together has been wonderful to see! It was fun to take pictures today so she could send them to a friend in Germany who only does mat pilates, but wants to work on equipment! If you have not been on Pilates equipment and want a private lesson, please DM

Much respect for the hard work, focus, and determination of @hollymom01 .
Absolute Flow has not made it a consistent practice to verbally highlight clients, but we like to display their pictures, accomplishments and progress on our social media.
But today We do want to say a few things about this particular lady you see here. Absolute Flow will be having its 8 year anniversary in January. Trina has been with us since the beginning. She has gone from knowing very little about pilates, but wanting to find a regimen that she could participate in regularly, to a full blown practitioner. She admits to not being a fan of “working out” when she was younger but now she can say she truly loves pilates and all the things it has done to improve her daily mobility, as well as body and mind awareness. She has traveled to participate in weekend certification trainings to deepen her knowledge as well as purchase her own reformer for home practice. Her dedication to this now lifelong regimen is inspiring!
She is truly fearless in this photo! What a beautiful #backbend!
We appreciate your commitment to the practice and to Absolute Flow!

“Take our picture!” These girls had a fun duet Spring board and jump board class. Lots of #Teaser and #singleleg
Thinking about adding cardio to your pilates, try a jump board class. It brings that heart rate up and back down! Looking forward to seeing you get your sweat on!
#jumpboardpilates #pilatesstrong #pilateseveryday #discipline
Yes!!!! #backextension! It feels so good and keeps our spine healthy and mobile!
These guys know the benefit of adding #pilates into their movement routine. Two of them have been with Abflow for several years and one is new. Do you have a friend that would like to try something new! Please send us us message.

“We are whole, perfect, and complete” now that we have learned some anxiety and stress relief techniques. And how about that #soundbath . The #soundbathmeditation was amazing and so relaxing. If you didn’t get in on this workshop we hope to have our friends visit us again. They were full of knowledge and good energy! Thank you all who joined and hope you find use in the tools that Verna showed us.

Happy Sunday! Here’s a little fun series the advanced class did yesterday. Sometimes you just have to mix it up! Balance and 🍑. Great job @michelle.daniels1130 @court_donner @hollymom01
It’s always a pleasure to teach you ladies. Thank you for challenging me as an instructor- I love your requests and questions and your overall commitment to pilates, your health, and to your “you time”.

It was so fun teaching #foamroller with Kelly. Thank you ladies for joining us and we hope you can apply some of this at home. We all know foam roller can be rewarding and at times uncomfortable such as life🤪. Happy Monday, we hope to see you at the next foam roller workshop. We’ll keep you posted!

One of the many takeaways from my training with @benjamindegenhardt and @360pilatesonline is that a lot of your exercises are the same and come full circle. Everything is the “100”😉😁 Today is #rollup . This particular friend of mine finds the roll up to be especially challenging for her body and we practice practice and modify. But see how this beautiful #horseback has #rollup right there before our eyes!
Here are some pictures in Day 2 of the new studio!

Thank you @g2asc for a great upper body circuit today. It’s been a rough road for many of us these past months and #movement helps keep my mind and soul right. I enjoy and encourage #crosstraining , as many of you know. #pilates has been and may always be my #1 but #loveforyourself in many fashions is so important today. So please do something special for YOU. You deserve it! Keep working hard! Where there is darkness there is light. #mindbodyworkout #pilatesstrong #pilateseveryday #girlswholift #trainingforthesoul
2020 has shown us that many things are out of our #control but we must move on and find #balance and #deepgratitude for all that we have learned this year.
@brittneygalle has been working on her fluidity with #controlbalance on the reformer and love to see her #progress. I am lucky to be with her on this learning journey over these years! #amazingclient #pilatesstrong #pilatesforlife
#teasertuesday and #electionday. Teach them young, motivate and encourage! My 10yr olds started with their “serious face” and then we all had a good laugh! So proud of how focused they were today. At the end of the session as they laid on the mat with eyes closed, I had them silently think about, no matter which presidential candidate wins, what they would like to see happen for their country and their families for the years to come. #godblessamerica #pilatesforkids #pilatesforlife #teachthemyoung #teachthemwell
Diving into the “fall season” with all good intentions and hopes for the last part of 2020. We are keeping #flexible and #open. @kmdonner725 shows her skills with her birthday private lessons gifted by her generous sister @court_donner. I am honored to have been teaching these girls for a long time; they are amazing! #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong #pilatesreformer
The best day of my life was giving birth to my baby girl. Happy 10th Birthday @oce.an.klm I love you more than words can explain. You’re smart, hilarious and goofy, beautiful inside and out, serious, compassionate and so much more. I learn from you each day and look forward to many more years of learning and discovery. You have made me and @tweakingwedgy so proud! #momsanddaughters #sunset #remotelearning #snapchatfilter #goofygirl
Plenty of #socialdistancing in our new set up at the studio. @brittneygalle and @court_donner who have both been with Abflow for many years, are in their element with some advanced reformer. Great Job girls! Check out our 4 station set up with reformer, tower or springboard and of course the chair. #pilateslovers #pilateseveryday #pilatesreformer #pilatesdistancing
2020 we’re making it through, and we’re not scared! It’s time we get back on the horse and put positive energy into all that we do!

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted. May I re-introduce the talented @emma.brynn.cooper . Swipe to see the progression. You may have seen her several years ago early in our IG. She has since Graduated college and moved on to be a professional dancer. But since the performance industry isn’t in session now, she spends some of her free time with us in Pilates classes. As I have reiterated to many clients, this #backbend is not available to all bodies. Many look at pilates on IG and wonder why their body doesn’t get to the position they often see in pictures. Emma is a #professionaldancer who has put in time since she was little developing these skills. And what a beautiful #breastroke this is! Let’s all remember, especially during #covid that we should move from a place of gratitude and inspire to gain where we can. We should give ourselves props when progress is made and remember not to get caught up in #comparisons. ❤️ to you all! #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
So our cocktail bar is now open on the outside of our #speakeasy bar. Come and see some familiar faces from Pilates! @gritandtonicbar is back to serving delicious craft cocktails so if your wanting to get out and enjoy an evening come see us- we are featuring Jazz in the park some Friday or Saturday evenings where our tables will be set up for drinks and dining. We hope everyone is being safe as we move into the next phase- #enjoysummer #drinkclassy #speakeasy
@brittneygalle is happy to get her pilates on the reformer back into her routine! Though, to her surprise, she has found quite an appreciation for mat work during quarantine. -The studio is now open, classes are limited to very small numbers with social distancing and private lessons available. #backtowork #bestclientsever #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
#openlegrocker An exercise in the repertoire that challenges #balance early on. I challenge you all to pick an exercise and hold the position for as long as you can, trying to stay out of your head and just be #present. As we push on towards May and the unknown during this time, remember to be present and move with grace and gratitude. A shout out to all first responders during the covid. Thank you for your #bravery
#quaratine2020 #practicebalance #pilatesstrong #pilatesforlife
Just a little #headstand practice before teaching my morning class. Always making sure my body doesn’t loose it; next goal- unassisted handstands and added push up🤣 Hope everyone is staying happy and healthy!

Zoom 1 on 1! It was so fun teaching Cris a private lesson via zoom! She is lucky enough to have a tower and reformer in her home. I have also had friends in other states reach out to me. I am home and have lots of time. If you would like a 1 on 1 lesson please DM me and we can figure it out. Stay safe and healthy everyone! We all have to #keepmoving #moveduringquarentine #pilateseveryday #pilatesstrong #matpilates #pilatesreformer
We miss seeing your faces and being together in our community. But remember now is the time to #keepyourbodymoving. #Mat classes can be more challenging than you expect, but that’s great for you mentally and physically! Try a zoom class with us on the mat and let me know what you think. DM me for your first complimentary class! Continue to move with #gratitude and a positive #attitude #pilateseveryday #pilatesstrong #moveduringquarantine

@marchmatness day 16 #scissors. Look at those beautiful lines @hollymom01 !!
The studio has decided to still take it one day at a time for now. We want you all to to know how much we appreciate the kindness and your support in whatever decision we come to. Being around positivity in a time of crisis is so uplifting! We must all remember how this positive energy feels and keep it with us, even if we have to remain in our homes for some time. This shall pass, and we will all get back to life with possibly an enlightened perspective. Keep moving and shakin!
#pilatesforlife #marchmatness #marchmatness2020
A little #kneckpull at the top while focusing on trunk stability and hip mobility at our chair and foam roller workshop. Thank you for all who came today to participate.
As of now the studio will hold limited classes tomorrow as we decide what to do going forward. The likeliness of us closing our doors very soon is high, as we want to keep all safe and healthy. We appreciate your support and patience during these intense times.

Playing hooky from work and hanging with my #1girl. How about those scrunchies 🤣 meeting one of my oldest closest friends @shannonm_16 for Thai tonight. Her and the family are here from Florida!
When we’re not at Pilates, we’re mixing up some amazing #craftcocktails -check out @mattylawlee and @tweakingwedgy at #gritandtonicbar this Saturday and Thursday, 3/26 for live jazz. Ask for the “Back in Black” mezcal margarita - yes it’s black with a black Hawaiian salt rim
Day 3 and 4 of @marchmatness. #rollover by Brit and #legcircles by Angie. #marchmatness2020 #marchmatness #matstories below
I love these girls! They both have been with me since I opened my studio. They are 2 totally different movers and have opposite challenges but are equally strong. @brittneygalle has tight muscles in places and works hard toward gaining flexibility. Though her back legs were tight early on and she had trouble firing in the hamstrings, now she feels them all the time! Angie is hyper mobile and double jointed in many places. Her flexibility is her go to, but then she doesn’t feel work. She has made many discoveries in her body over just this past year. she has to focus hard just to align her ankle with the rest of her leg. We work so that she can feel stretches by doing a little less at times and consistently working that opposition.
HYPER MOBILITY. A lot of the time as instructors, we work in Pilates to achieve more mobility, flexibility etc for our clients. But once in awhile we have the rare gift of working with someone who is so mobile and flexible that they can do all the things you’re asking, BUT are they benefiting? This is where it is our job to acknowledge it early on and reign them in. Less is more for them. In order to feel the muscle activation and work within the work, they have to do less or move differently then what their body may be capable of or used to. #pilatesstrong #pilateseveryday #fitwomen
Can’t wait to watch these ladies progress!
What a great weekend with our teacher trainer @hilaryopheim . The girls are working on some #kathygrant tools in this pic. Lots of 💡moments! It’s always fun to be a #pilatesstudent, gaining new perspective. Please message us if you would like to participate in a workshop taught by Hilary on her next visit. Space will be limited. #pilateslovers #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
Getting the studio ready for @hilaryopheim of Los Angeles to come and certify teachers! I am thrilled and honored that she agreed to come mentor us and share her knowledge! #alwaysastudent #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
Happy 40th @tweakingwedgy! I am so grateful that we have had so many amazing years and memories together. Life is good when your hanging with your BF for life❤️
From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and an amazing New Year to come!
Now that this guy has another business of his own keeping him very busy, he enjoys “guest teaching” and kicking the “advanced” class’s but. #magician #excitedpilatesinstructor #pilatesforlife #dedicated
A shout out to this couple who has stayed so disciplined in their pilates regimen together . I have witnessed progress in leaps and bounds! Thank you @patti_j_daniels for being awesome clients!! #Balance #pilatesforlife #couplespilates #proudinstructor #bestclientsever
Who wants to have a dinner party in our private dining room of our #newbusiness. Thank you to all our clients who have come to visit us and support us during our first month of being open!

Cris, a longtime client of Absolute Flow, is celebrating a milestone- side planks on her right side! Cris has cerebral palsy that significantly affects her right arm and leg. She has worked hard over the last 5 years to develop strength, flexibility, and symmetry in her body. Great job, Cris! “I never thought I would be able to do this! Pilates has completely changed my body, increased my strength, and decreased my chronic pain. I think every person can benefit from Pilates, no matter their physical challenges. The instructors at Absolute Flow are amazing, and support every student to help them achieve their goals. I am so grateful that I found Absolute Flow!” - Cris O’Neil

September has come and is almost gone! This is one of my favorite months because I had my baby girl just a week before my own bday! We are alike and yet different in so many ways. I learn from her always and feel blessed to have this amazing human in my life! This is a flashback from not too long ago when @yogapants.barnboots invited us to a day at the barn and Kaia had her first real horse ride! What they say is true, time with your kids goes by faster than you realize, treasure it and know that each day is a new one. #virgosrule #momlife #gratefulmom #pilatesmom #pilateskids
Ruth is rocking this 1 legged tendon stretch! @fit_focused_intrinsic_training has been in the fitness industry for a long time. Over the past year she has added #pilates to her repertoire of knowledge. It’s always about learning and being the best version of yourself. As a teacher, I thoroughly enjoy helping people on their journey. When Ruth started private lessons with me she was hungry for a new skill. I, myself, will always still love being a #student. And as a #pilatespracticioner that’s what we are, always students even at the highest level. #pilatesforlife #pilateseveryday #tendonstretch
Heavy #boxsquats at 175lb. It’s always nice to challenge my body and mind in different ways and know my limitations. We all need to dig deep sometimes and find the things that make us feel positive “She was powerful not because she wasn’t scared but because she went on so strongly despite the fear” -Atticus #pilatesforlife #girlswholift #strongwomen
Practice, practice practice! Way to go @kclanny Talani has been working on rowing variations with Kristine and you all know it’s not that easy but she sure does make it look easy! #pilatesfit #pilatesforlife #pilatespractice #rowing
Speed skater! Standing on the reformer and moving the carriage can sometimes be scary. This is where we definitely challenge our focus and balance! So happy to have you back in the studio @roweaver29. The summer is going by so quickly! Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone! #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong #balancenandfocus
So I never post merchandise; but I am so excited to try all these new things that I have ordered, that my other DoTerra friends have been in the know about much longer. An all natural mouthwash and toothpaste! Metabolic grapefruit gum! We are proud to carry #essentialoils #doterra at the studio. Feel free to ask any questions when you see us or ask to set up a class to learn more about the benefits of essential oils! #pilatesforlife #allnaturalhealth #thepathtowellness #oilsforthewin
As an instructor you listen to your clients #goals. This is a special young lady, 11 years old, who has many talents. Coming from a competitive gymnastics background, she is now taking on dance and wants to perfect some challenging one legged turns which means ankle and leg strength as well as balance. Her goal setting and determination is inspiring. I have goals too, which is picture number 2. That’s been a goal of mine since last year. She said she can teach me to do that, no problem! I love when we can learn from eachother! thank you @malaena_sloan #pilatesforlife #learnfromyourstudents #girlgoals #pilatesforteens
Guess what! #stomachmassage everyone’s favorite. Ruzen is sitting in front of the edge to give support. We had so much fun this weekend with @360pilatesonline in one of the most beautiful studios @wapilates. We can’t wait to share some knowledge with you all! #pilatesforlife
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you amazing mom’s out there! I hope you are feeling extra ❤️ today and doing something you enjoy! I am in a happy place doing #pilates and reflecting on all that I have to be #grateful for.
Happy Pilates Day! Kick your feet up, breathe in, exhale and enjoy the moment! #pilatesforlife pic credit goes to my little one, Kai’a! ❤️
Is standing on the reformer a little scary? It sure is! As an instructor, I make sure that if I teach any standing sequence, the clients posses the ability to find and connect to the muscles that allow for their #balance #pilates is a mind body exercise for so many reasons. Along with balance, we like working on #hipopeners and finding #stabilizingmuscles that fire when we aren’t expecting it 🍑 #obliques #transverseabdominis #pilatesstrong #pilatesforlife
Day 21 #marchmatness2019 Teaser. It was a beautiful and sunny day; spring has arrived! I will have to retire sweatshirts as the weather is slowly getting warmer. I tried to get a little “artsy” with my #teaser reflection. #marchmatness #pilatesnerd #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
@brittneygalle requested some #bosuball flow on the reformer for her private lesson today. Thank you @momentum_pilates for the inspiration. #pilatesreformer #pilatesstrong #pilatesforlife
The #saw. Meet Trina. This client has been with me since the opening of the studio in 2014. She is one of the people that reminds me why I love what I do. She has made her practice part of her lifestyle and knows that having a good pilates discipline is so beneficial both physically and mentally. Her quote when new clients ask if it gets easier, “I can’t really say it does; it’s always a challenge if you’re doing it right.” #marchmatness2019 #marchmatness #doingitright #bestclientsever #pilatesforlife
Day 6 Single leg stretch...This amazing 10 year old has been taking #pilates with me since she was 6 and then at 7 started Muay Thai kickboxing with my husband. We have watched her grow in so many wonderful ways. She is hardworking, focused, and doesn’t take for granted her ability to move so beautifully. When I came back from a continued education weekend, I was so excited to teach this little one all of the #matexercises a few years back and she was eager to learn. She can execute all 34! Thank you for being so inspiring! #marchmatness #marchmatness2019 #singlelegstretch #matpilates #pilatesforkids
And so it begins! @marchmatness is here! I am not one to brag but I am proud and honored to have continued my #pilateseducation and journey with @360pilatesonline and the creator of #marchmatness , @benjamindegenhardt. I can’t say enough good things about this man and how he has changed the way I look at the body and teach movement. A big thanks that every year we have a reason to celebrate the traditional #matwork of Joseph Pilates. He would be so proud! #marchmatness2019

Thank you for all who came to our sold out “Crunch and Brunch” Sunday. We featured some intense reformer #stretching with some athletic spring board work. @cheri_fortner_harris and @d_a_carney are opening the back of one leg while actively reaching through the other and working that center contraction. #pilateseveryday #pilatesforlife #pilatesstretch
Woo hoo! We have a #feetuptrainer in the studio. After practicing our inversions, our little one is working on #firefly pose. It’s hard but of course she’s smiling! #feetup #pilatesforlife #pilatesforkids
#dogslife. Seriously envious sometimes 😂She eats well and stays small, plays when she feels like it, cuddles with you when she’s ready, lays around unbothered, #chihuahua ....never thought I would own a small dog after growing up with big ones, but my daughter begged me to rescue this little tea cup and she has been an amazing addition to the family
My #chefhusband used the fresh ham bone and smoked turkey bone from Christmas dinner to make #bonebroth for a delicious homemade #ramen dish. Delicious! I attempted to eat what I could but I am still full from Christmas dinner. Time to work hard in the studio and gym to burn off #holidayindulgence #luckywife #happywifehappylife
#Rollinglikeaball. We’ve been having fun practicing rolling like a ball to standing In the studio. It sounds easier than it is for some. What are you Goals for the New Year?! A special shout out to all of you who took on the 35 day challenge. Everyone is doing great and it’s always inspiring when you see clients pushing and encouraging each other! #pilatesforlife #pilateseveryday #pilatesstrong #havefunplaying #goals
Look at those lines! I have the pleasure of training this talented 11year old gymnast turned dancer. Malaena is so strong mentally and physically and shows true commitment when learning something new like #pilates. #stronggirl #pilatesforlife #lovestolearn
Sunday Funday. Hadn’t planned on it but woke up this morning and decided to go to @g2asc strongman/woman training. It’s always nice when you surprise yourself. This is a 225lb dead lift with the fat bar to work on grip strength, off a 12ish inch raise-possibly a little more challenging than a lift from the floor. It was fun! #liftheavystuff #pilatesforlife #pilatesstrong
SUNDAY 9:30am class with Ruzen starts this week! Start your day off strong with some playful mat work, spring board and reformer! Work off your Thanksgiving indulgences to prepare for your Christmas ones😉#pilates #pilatesstrong #pilatesforever
