Elizabeth Larkam adding Pilates Chair Classes on Fridays

If you're fortunate enough to have access to a Combo chair or Wunda chair, Elizabeth is moving her Friday Foam Roller classes to Sundays so she can teach a Chair class on Friday mornings. Elizabeth Larkam teaches live 6am Pacific/9am Eastern daily (most weeks). 

Her classes feature a unique approach to many of the interesting props, tools, and equipment found in the Pilates studio (rings, Oovs, Pilates Arc, Balansit, BOSU, Reformer, Rollers, and Swiss ball to name a few).

Whether you're a Pilates professional or a movement enthusiast, you'll certainly agree that there is no one like Elizabeth.

 The recordings of many of the most recent classes (including Elizabeth Larkam) can be found in our "expiring content" section of the On-Demand Library inside the Monthly Subscriber's Area before they're either deleted or added to the permanent library which houses hundreds of workouts for a variety of levels of students, from a variety of teachers, using a variety of props and equipment (or no props).

Be Well-Stay Well "On Tour"

It's summer and Be Well-Stay Well Founder, Ada Wells, is out and about (not that the season matters.)

While Ada is based in Houston, TX,  she also remotely runs a full physical therapy and Pilates practice in California, and she can be found coast to coast (and beyond).  She loves to connect with like minded practitioners, Pilates enthusiasts, and those who are all about living to their full potential.

Ada's unique background as a physical therapist, Pilates practitioner, Golf rehab specialist, and Senior Faculty for Polestar Pilates leaves her with a wealth of knowledge to share not only online in this platform, but in person.

If interested, in hosting a workshop with Ada as the guest teacher, reach out.  With road trips planned for various parts of Texas and flights planned to New York City, Minnepolis, MN, SF Bay Area California, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexico City for the remainder of 2025, she may be in your neighborhood!

Do I need all these props?

If you have glanced at the Be Well-Stay Well™ Network Monthly Subscriber's Area offerings, you might notice that we offer several classes that include props and equipment.  While many of these are a great adjunct to your movement practice, you might be wondering if BWSW is right for you if you don't have all those props.

The short answer is that we have 100's of classes in our on-demand library (and several weekly live classes) that are mat only or only use things you'd already have in your space (a wall, a chair, maybe a towel) so you can get value from our Monthly subscriber's area without all the extra "toys."

So why do we include so many "extras"? It comes down to preference, audience, comfort, challenge, and assistance.  Some of our props (or tools) can provide a wonderful amount of feedback, mobilization, and/or fun that enhance the experience.  We have classes that are higher level for those who may be Pilates practitioners/teachers, but also provide an online platform with classes for those where we need to respect where the body has been over the years and provide modifications accordingly.  Not all classes are Pilates, but they all embody the principles that an intelligent movement practice has.
