SOMATIC Pilates Yoga Exercises
for Winging Scapula fix
and Shoulder Mobility Flexibility
- The class focuses on addressing shoulder instability, weakness, or pain through a combination of Pilates, yoga, and corrective exercises.
- Props such as chairs, blocks, pillows, tennis balls, and straps are used throughout the practice.
- Initial exercises involve lying on a diagonal surface (like a chair or bench) to engage the core and stabilize the shoulders.
- Movements include lifting and lowering the arms while focusing on core engagement and shoulder blade stabilization.
- I demonstrate variations for those with different flexibility levels, such as using a bolster or modifying the position.
- Additional exercises incorporate weightlifting motions with light weights or improvised items like oranges.
- Stretching exercises are interspersed throughout the routine to promote flexibility and release tension in the shoulders.
- The practice also includes somatic movements to increase body awareness and address holding patterns.
- The session concludes with a series of stretches and movements aimed at enhancing shoulder strength, stability, and mobility.

What is your why? What is your take-away? Why are you here (BTW- I am so glad that you are) ?
Let’s get real. Life is busy and often hard. It’s a challenge to juggle the balance work, kids, loved ones, health, emotions, mindset… but we can. We all want to find enlightenment or a better body or maybe Vairāgya. But we are not living like a monk and cannot take time to extensively meditate. I am happy if I tap into that divine source here and there. When I do that – it guides me through the rest. This is what I want to share with you. Feeling better in the body but also mentally and spiritually. Let’s celebrate and share our victories especially the small ones.

"...ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body."
"I had never tried Pilates before, but one class with Rebekah and I was hooked! She gave me a much better understanding of not only the exercises themselves, but how they were benefiting my core, and ultimately shaping me with a better mind and body." Michelle Rhodes
"The results are unparalleled."
"The worst thing about Rebekeh's abs class is how effortlessly she does things that put you in excruciating pain. That said, I have been consistently lifting weights and doing my own form of abs for 14 years and nothing compares to her class. She packs more into to 20-30 minutes than I used to do in three 30 minutes sessions. The results are unparalleled." Chris Peel
"...she inspires us to improve by her encouragement and empathy. We feel safe under her care."
"For someone much younger, Rebekah knows how to connect well with the seniors in our Silver Sneakers classes. In spite of our perceived physical limitations, she inspires us to improve by her encouragement and empathy. We feel safe under her care.
Her depth and breadth of knowledge (yoga, Pilates, aerobics, weight training, boxing, etc.), her preparation, her imaginative explanations, and her nuggets of wisdom are all woven into the texture of the class. But what I love is the accompanying music from her iPod playlist. It is always changing, appropriate for the activity and adds a very important dimension.
We leave her class with an expansive feeling that we carry into our daily lives. And our bodies are stronger and more flexible!" Eileen Julian
