Hello Everyone, how are you today? I saw a cool oblique and abs exercise from @mickiphit and I wanted to try it. So the next exercise is inspired by hers I do it a bit differently. As you can see, I use a pilatesball, that you can also replace with a pillow if you will. Some cues that might be helpful : Pull your shoulders and shoulder blades down Pull your navel towards your spine and rip cages Your wrist is under your shoulder Push away with your shoulder, keep it far from your ear Turn your pelvis to the front. You will have the tendency to rotate it backwards, so keep is steady Have fun! ___________________ Csodaszép szerdát! Hogy telik a napotok? A mai napra egy érdekes gyakorlatot hoztam ami segít az oldalsó izmok erősítésében. Egy kis labdát használok, amit könnyen lehet egy közepesebb párnával helyettesíteni. Néhány hasznos tipp: Húzd a köldököd a gerinced és enyhén a bordáid irányába Húzd a vállaid és a lapockáid lefelé, távolítsd őket a füleidtől Tolj el a válladból, tartsd távol a füledtől Csuklód legyen a vállad alatt egy vonalban A csípőd nézzen előre. Tartsd így meg stabilan még akomkor is, ha a mozdulat közben el szeretne fordulni. Hajrá és szép napot! @pilatestv #pilatestvabs

Hello Everyone, how are you today? Did you have a nice holiday/ celebration/ long weekend? I brought you a nice stability exercise to start our week with Some cues that might be helpful: Pull your shoulders and shoulder blades down Pull your navel towards your spine and rip cages Even if you are sitting, you are still tall, your spine is long. Try to sit straight. Lift your pelvis from the floor until it forms a straight line with your shoulders and knees. While lifting your pelvis up, use your glutes. Your weight is on your shoulders, not on the neck! If it’s too difficult for you with the ball, do it without it. Have fun and enjoy it ❤️ This months, with every post I share one thing that I’m thankful for. Here comes the next one: I’m thankful for being born this part of the world, where I can drink fresh water from the tap and eat quality food, whenever I want. So many of us cannot have this privilege. #heartfulapril Enjoy your week @pilatestv

Often we become too creative in our classes forgetting to teach clients the “real” exercises or fundamentals. I have to remind myself that it’s normally me that’s bored and not the client. . . . However I do like to change the start of my classes and use it to set the tone. Here I’m using one yellow spring to teach spinal articulation or cat stretch variation on the Reformer. Warms up the abs, spine, lats, stretches the hamstrings and helps them focus on breathing.

“Thank you for seeing me for Pilates. I know I’m overweight and other people don’t want to see me so thanks for taking the time.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have truly been told this more than once from various clients and it breaks my heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No one should EVER have to say thank you for being seen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No one should EVER have to wonder if they are welcome to try something new. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No one should EVER worry about looking, sounding, moving, thinking, breathing or bending differently than other people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No one should EVER question their worth because of how they look, the pain they experience or what kind of exercise pants they wear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pilates is intimidating enough without feeling judged by teachers and fellow students. You may be itching to instruct someone to inhale when they want to exhale, but take a moment and pause. Is that really the thing they need in that moment? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On the other side, if you are a new student and you aren’t treated the way you’d like to be, find somewhere else. Don’t give up. Keep trying. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It takes courage for a new student to walk through our doors. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As teachers we have to meet them there . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hello Everyone, happy Friday Ready for the weekend? I brought you a nice exercise that will help you to strengthen you knees. Some cues that might be helpful: Pull your shoulders and shoulder blades down Pull your navel towards your spine and rip cages Even if you are sitting, you are still tall, your spine is long. Try to sit straight. At first, just hold your knee on the same position (on the ball) while your are stretching your leg. Second time, push downwards, against the ball. You don’t have to lift the other leg so high up if you cannot. You can also stretch that out above ground. While doing it, think about your center!
