good morning everyone!

tapping in before doing a morning stretch then soft strength (i didn’t do it on monday!)

also, i started reading “principles of movement” (ty for the recommendation monique!) and i absolutely love it so far 🧡i usually read romantasy, so im surprised that my interests in genre have been shifting!

speaking of books, do yall still do the book club? if not would anyone be interested in doing a monthly one? lmk what yall think!

i hope everyone has had a restful weekend ☀️🧸

I did my first class tonight and I’m a little blown away at how much I loved it and the emotions it brought up. I’m not sure if this sounds wierd or creepy but I felt like I was having a play date with Ruth. I’m working through some childhood trauma and I think that it is so wild the universe dropped this program in front of me at exactly the moment I’m learning play as a medium for therapeutic processing. Ive also been doing rebounding at the recommendation of my therapist for the same reason. The aesthetic of Ruth, her vibe, tone and level at which she speaks… just wow.

i spent this morning doing laundry, cleaning, packing the house for a move in january, and now im tapping in before doing today’s video!

i just wanted to thank the beautiful ruth for creating this space 🥹 i go to bed SO excited for the day to come. thank you! 🧡

i hope everyone has a beautiful day! ☀️ stay warm and safe! 🧸

good afternoon guys!

i did some pouring into me today and i feel so damn good! 🤭

i kinda like following the theme of the week/daily workout its like opening a present every day! and it takes a lot of mental load off of having to find something.

i hope everyone is having a merry christmas eve and happy holly days! 🎁

just finished sos!

im getting back into the groove of things and it feels scary but nice at the same time.

also, i decided to stick to the weekly themes until the challenge begins! i am so excited 🧡

i hope yall have amazing days ☀️

Tapping in, returning to the Weekly Schedule 💗

Just tapped in for our Monday class! It blows my mind how I filmed this 7 months ago but I now have an entirely new body that feels so different. I was impressed that my overhead press got stronger! But the tendon stretch felt nearly impossible I thought my arms might give out lol. The side lying work felt great and really comfy despite how challenging the weighted clams were. Yay for showing up imperfectly. I love kicking off my week with y’all 🦋🩷here’s to a powerful holiday week of pouring into ourselves.

Day 30 ✅ 🌟 Halfway thru I started singing “Nasty” by Tinashe… 🎤 “is somebody gonna match my freak? is somebody gonna match my nasty? I got stamina, they say I’m a athlete” 💪🏽

This was nasty 😤 but I did indeed match your freak Ruth (almost entirely) !!! 😂🩷🩵💛 got into a flow state and had fun. Thanks for the 29 days of prep that led me here! 🏆

I have several reflections that I may share on the wins thread. It meant so much to share this “30 Day Challenge” program journey with the RPS community. Thank you everyone for your kind words and any/all engagement. Gonna take a cool down walk lol, sending you all love! 💗

Day 29 ✅ I’ve learned through this challenge that flow classes are kind of my nemesis, which is funny because I did yoga for years and flows are a big part. But Pilates flows really kick up the heat and demand so much control, I can get perfectionistic about it. Fascinated by how central breathing becomes to keep going, almost like you have to focus on your breath rather than what you are doing in order to flow - which disrupts any notion of perfection mentally, you have to trust your body to just do it as it can. I really like tapping into that level of consciousness so intentionally yet passively at the same time. It’s very yin and yang, idk if I’m making sense but ok curiosity and appreciation unlocked !!

Modified the intensity level of this class today as my cortisol levels are a mess rn, but it felt really empowering to slow it down, choosing when to push through or pause. I held the planks / static strength moves for their entirety nearly every time which felt really good. And as usual on days I’m not feeling it, challenged myself to do at least 1 rep of every move which led to more. 😊

Can’t believe tomorrow is day 30! I’ve been off socials the past several months, but has felt really special to be able to nerd out in this community. 💗 I appreciate everyone’s support along the way so much - thank you!

Day 28 ✅ “band + booty 2” + below. Great combo of videos, really complemented one another to produce so much depth and bodily integration during this session. Ruth, you are a genius teacher! 💡 I love learning from you.
