Scissors!
✅ Ab strengthening
✅ Stretches hamstrings
✅ Work opposition. Pull the hip down to ground as you pull your leg in
Do not hike your hip up
Do not tuck your pelvis to pull your leg in too far
Do not pull shoulders up off the mat to lift higher into leg (this also shows that your hips are no longer rooted down)

I took over a week off from all things Pilates related (physically) to chill out and to also brainstorm about a realistic working out at home game plan. I know it’s hard to motivate, to stay accountable, to actually make time to do it and to put yourself before the chores (I did all the things) but there will be a way.
WHAT a last few days @studio_aura_ibiza IBIZA
Next weekend✈️ZURICH (LINK IN PROFILE, a few spaces still open) THIS LITTLE NUMBER GREAT FOR GLUTES, SHOULDERS, CHEST OPENING, & HIPS✔️...I love what I do and count it such a privilege to meet each and everyone of you, to share with you what I love & learn together❣️We have an incredible community & we get to do a pretty incredible job❣️I am headed to get some good rest after the last few days before next Friday, my head is swimmingbut feeling very thankful. ❓➡️If you ever wonder why come to a workshop (let’s say besides CEC’s because I understand that reason), ➡️Come to share, be refreshed, be inspired & inspire others. ✨It’s always advantageous when we get out of our own routines & worlds, see or hear what others are doing first hand & in person (not online by a screen), & also we get the chance to move ourselves (for those of us that spend much hours teaching & we get the leftovers). It doesn’t always even need to be the newest, next best thing, there is a lot to be said about the power of being together & sharing knowledge & experiences which encourage someone else in their practice. ❇️IF YOU ARE STILL READING THIS... & you are interested in signing up for a next workshop, see below for locations⬇️

My hips are always the trouble makers, both throughout pregnancy and postpartum! I’ve always done Pilates and gotten semi regular adjustments, but that hasn’t quite been enough. Then I went for a massage and found out I had a giant knot in my glute causing my entire IT band to tighten up. This time it’s putting pressure on my sciatic nerve, so needless to say, I can’t wait for my massage tonight! I’ve always told my clients that I see the most success when people do a combination of Pilates, chiropractic and massages... it’s about time I listen to my own advice!
In the meantime, I’ve just added extra hip/leg stretches to my mat:
1. Hip stretch: Hug your right knee to your chest to stretch your hip.
2. Hamstring stretch: Hook your arm or hands behind your knee and keep it in place as you straighten and stretch three times.
3. It band stretch: Cross your left hand to the outside of your right leg. Keeping your hip rooted, cross your leg over your midline to your left shoulder.
4. Side tree/Inner thigh stretch: Place your left hand on your left hip and right hand to the inside of your right leg. Turn the right leg out and open it to the side as much as you can keeping the left side rooted to the ground.
5. One leg circles: 5 in each direction. (I only did one for demonstration)
6. Other side! (Video sped up x3)
