BIRTHDAY BARREL It’s my Birthday! And even though I filmed this a while ago, it features one of my favorite things: being upside down and one of my least favorite things: the barrel. So in true Gemini duality… I wanted to mesh the two
BRING IT BACK Looking for a way to switch up your standing work in classes? Try taking them to the back well. Using a light to medium spring, you can reverse the relationship to the spring to work on pulling motions such as the first two videos. An
SWITCHING DA POSITIONS If you’re looking for a fun way to move around the reformer in your next group class or private session try this one out! Hard to tell in black pants (note to self 😎) but I’m actually doing a Curtsey lunge here.
SPINAL WAVES Finally made it back to the water on the East Coast this week. The nature of the waves is so healing to me. The rhythm they offer is inspiration for a state of mind. Just to feel good, move with freedom, explore ebbs and flows. Love

“Xander has completely elevated my Pilates practice. As someone recovering from a chronic illness, his uplifting & warm spirit and attention to form & detail has created a wonderful space for me to challenge myself and build strength. I appreciate how tailored and unique every class or private session is - I’m learning new and creative series & movements even after doing pilates for the past 6 years! He really understands how to bring out the best in myself and his students.”

— Rachel, Denver

“Xander has been imperative in expanding my knowledge of the pilates practice, as well as my personal dedication to it. He is motivating, empathetic, inspiring, and empowering. Our work together has helped me find a new calm, embrace new challenges, pursue and complete a mat certification, and frankly, find myself a mentor.”

— Nikki, New York City

“Whether in a class setting of seven people or one, Xander’s attention to each participant is amazing. Double the fun in a private class with him you go from, “I could never do that, to I’ll give it a try, to wow I just did that!”

— Mary Jo, Denver
