Got Low Bone Density?  

Did you realize that about 50% of women over age 50 and about 25% of men over age 50 have low bone density?  

Many don't realize that there are special precautions that should be taken when exercising with low bone density, particularly avoiding loaded flexion activities.  

There are a number of classes, both live and on-demand that are geared to those who need to avoid flexion.  Given that in a traditional Pilates class, the majority of movements are flexion based, many of our classes contain either many modifications or are geared completely for those with low bone density.  

Ada Wells, in particular, tends to teach most of her classes with those with low bone density in mind.

Check out some of these classes that are great for those who need to avoid flexion and who want to optimize their over strength, mobility, balance, and function.

• Abs without the Crunch
• Nothing but a Towel

Want to join our Dia de Los Muertos Retreat in Puerto Vallarta with Ada Wells?

Coming October 2023!

Mark your calendars and meet new friends, or bring some old ones. Come join us in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico from October 27 to November 3, 2023, and be in the heart of one of the most vibrant and celebrated holidays in Latin America.

Dia de Los Muertos is officially a two-day affair (Nov 1 and Nov 2), but the festivities around Puerto Vallarta go on all week. Dia de Los Muertos is the time to celebrate the lives of those who have died. Throughout town, you'll see small shrines created with offerings to the deceased when they come back to "reunite" with their families who are still in this world.

During this special cultural retreat experience, we'll participate in several of the festivities and traditions, while getting a healthy dose of mindful movement with daily Pilates classes from Ada Wells, PT.

Be on the lookout for more details. But, in the meantime, if you're interested in being the first to know, make sure you're on our retreat mailing list. 

Strength & Mobility for Longevity - Just You, a Mat, & a Chair

Can you get up and down off the floor without using your hands?

Join Ada Wells, PT as she helps you build and preserve the strength and mobility to thrive and feel young for as long as possible.

On the schedule, you'll see a Level 1 & Level 2 Longevity Class.  Level 1 is the first half hour and can be done as a stand alone class.  Otherwise, stick around for the second half which will incorporate level 2 moves.

As usual, Ada's classes are full of modifications, bone safe variations, and a focus on what you CAN do.

Props needed:  mat & something to sit on (chair, ottoman, stool, etc.)

New in upcoming weeks...Ada's going to add an Oov on occasion for some of these classes.  Be on the lookout in the live class schedule of the BWSW Monthly Subscriber's Area or watch the recent recordings in the on-demand section and let us know how it goes!
