🤗Just going to ride out my Stretch series theme

🤗Just going to ride out my Stretch series theme this weekend, because THIS is what my body is craving. ⁣
⁣
When I work with clients, I listen to their concerns and read their body language to determine what they need from their practice each given day. ⁣
⁣
With time, I’ve learned the importance of doing this in my own practice, too.⁣
⁣
I used to arrive at my practice with my own agenda and place demands on my body to muscle through 💪💪💪 just about anything. ⁣
⁣
This doesn’t work. ⁣
⁣
Listen👂🏻to your body and honor it. ⁣
⁣
THIS is what strength 💪 is all about.⁣
⁣
💕Ask yourself: when it comes to your workout routine, are you listening to your body? ⁣

✨Scapular stability work with planks and push ups. Swipe ➡️ for pike variation.⁣
⁣
☝️In my Pilates practice, I pay close attention to keeping my shoulders healthy. I know I can get carried away working on my equipment and overdue it. Anyone else guilty of that? 🙋‍♀️⁣
⁣
Adding the chair to this series keeps me paying close attention to my shoulders, keeping my scapula stable and in a healthy position. ⁣
⁣
✔️I keep my upper traps from over-engaging and utilize my serratus anterior to stabilize the scapula, keeping width across the shoulder blades.⁣
⁣
Oh yea, and there’s a little core action here too 🙃⁣

In a Mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ mood on this beautiful Monday.⁣
⁣
My clients know this is my go-to cool down exercise gently taking the spine into all ranges of motion: flexion, extension, rotation.⁣
⁣
Working out at home? Skip the push-through bar and take this one to the mat.⁣
⁣
❤️ Your spine will thank you.⁣

🤔Working on postural control? ⁣
⁣
Stomach Massage challenges your postural muscles as you move your legs independently on a strong and stable core. ⁣
⁣
I often skip the round back variation and work on flat back supported, flat back without support, and flat back with a twist, unsupported. Each subsequent variation increases in difficulty. ⁣
⁣
⬅️ Swipe to see these variations. ⁣
⁣
The deep hip flexion in first position opens up the hips while the core works to hold the trunk up tall.⁣
⁣
Added bonus 🙌 pec stretch during the supported flat back variation. ⁣
⁣
This exercise feels impossible at first but stick with it! You will see noticeable change in your ability to hold your trunk tall.⁣
⁣
The benefits of Stomach Massage translate perfectly into our everyday posture.⁣
⁣
Good posture helps you stand tall, slim down, and combats back pain.⁣
⁣
Who wants better posture? 🙋‍♀️⁣

Climb a Tree 🌲 is a client fave at Downtown Pilates, so of course I am always looking for ways to switch it up. 🙃⁣
⁣
On the Cadillac, the closed chain action of the foot against the push through bar really kicks up the hamstring stretch.⁣
⁣
During the spinal extension phase, I can expand fully into the chest opening ❤️ because I feel extra secure and supported by the table. ⁣
⁣
Anyone else need this stretch today? 🙋‍♀️⁣
