January Workshops: Kelli Burkhalter Hutchins
The Impact of Sitting: Restoring Strength in Hips, Glutes, and Hamstrings
In today’s world, most of us spend more time sitting than moving—working on computers, using phones, playing video games, and then exercising through running and biking—all of which can lead to underuse of the glutes, hamstrings, and hips. This inactivity often creates muscular imbalances, causing weakness and tightness in the glutes, limited mobility in the hip joints (particularly in external rotation), and chronically tight hamstrings. These imbalances not only affect lower-body function but can also impact upper-body strength and overall movement patterns. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to effectively activate and strengthen these essential muscles, unlocking their value in promoting full-body health and functional strength.

From Aches to Alignment: Addressing Postural Imbalance
Kyphosis, often recognized by a forward head, tight shoulders and pectorals, and an overly rounded thoracic spine, can result from various environmental forces and lifestyle habits. Factors like heavy chests, ill-fitting bras, excessive cell phone use, prolonged computer work, video gaming, and certain active sports can all contribute to poor posture and muscular imbalances. The first step to addressing and “fixing” these imbalances is recognizing them. Many aches and pains stem from simple alignment issues, and by understanding their causes, we can take proactive steps toward better self-care. In this workshop, we’ll explore these contributing factors, identify common postural challenges, and focus on strengthening what’s weak and releasing what’s tight to better support daily life and long-term health.

Pre-Formance - Young Athletes
PRE-Formance Pilates: Young athletes incorporating Pilates into their training practice to develop and improve
their movement skills for the sport they play.
Children and young adults have been greatly impacted by a sedentary culture. Physical activity, even among the youngest children, is more limited than ever in modern history. Gone are the days of playing outside all day, climbing trees, romping through creeks, rolling around on the ground, balancing on skates, or riding bikes for transportation. There are many reasons for this change in culture, but the impact on young bodies is profound.
Fast-forward and these same kids are playing high-level sports. They are often required to commit to a single sport, practice year-round and train performing professional drills. However, several building blocks of movement are likely missing in their bodies because they missed the play or the amount of play necessary to develop the movement intelligence needed to perform at the level their sport demands. Therefore, injuries occur due to missing skills, repetitive sport specific movements and very little cross-training.
PRE-Formance Pilates is designed to develop the missing movement skills and intelligence. The program was created for young athletes, to compliment their training, and help them prepare for practice and games. Performance is immediately improved, including speed, agility, efficiency, balance, coordination and mental focus.
Our PRE-Formance Pilates program works with individual athletes and teams.
Testimonials
Theresa & Tom
Tom and I have worked with Leigh for three years now. We have worked with her both on site when she lived in Colorado and now virtually. I (Theresa) have been doing Pilates for over 20 years. Tom has been working with Pilates for six years. Both of us agree that Leigh has been a tremendous embellishment to our dual practice. She is precise, compassionate, a stickler for form and remarkably astute regarding anatomy, physiology and all the foibles that come with an individual body as one ages. She is a true and lasting treasure to both of us. We are so grateful to have her coaching both of us through this life process called Pilates.
