Grab a circle (towel or yoga strap) and try this variation of Climb a 🌲Tree at home!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Engage your core 🔥 and C O N T R O L the articulation of your spine on the way down. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When you come up, you can press into the circle just little bit and recruit your abs (a lot!!!) to roll back up. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Try to keep your shoulders nice and relaxed, 🤗 they can stay out of this one.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This variation of Climb a Tree is the new fan favorite here at the studio. 🙌⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Give it a try and let me know what you think. ⤵️⁣⁣

😳 Well, hello there, posterior core! ⁣
⁣
Challenging stability and firing 🔥 up my posterior core muscles! ⁣
⁣
Swipe through ➡️ for variations:⁣
1️⃣ Swimming: engage your abs to keep your pelvis stable and lift one leg at a time.⁣
2️⃣ Double leg lift (kick up swimming a notch): reinforce your super stable and strong core here as you lift both legs together. ⁣
3️⃣ Bend and extend your elbows for scapular stability: keep your collar bones wide and upper traps quiet as you carefully bring the carriage forward and back, subtly working your mid and lower traps.⁣
4️⃣ Single arm bend and extend: lots of abs here as you challenge your ability to move the carriage with one arm only, keeping your trunk stable. ⁣
5️⃣ Ditch the ball 🔵 and enjoy some spinal extension on the box! 🤗⁣
⁣
☝️I used no spring in this series.⁣
⁣
Added bonus, your 🧠 will get quite workout too as you really need to maintain your focus on this one! ⁣
⁣
Give these variations a try and let me know what you think. ⤵️⁣

🌻 Pikes on the Chair⁣
⁣
Took a break from schoolwork to burn 🔥 off some energy.⁣
⁣
She initiated this exercise on the Chair, without my instruction, 🤗 naturally gravitating to one of my favorite exercises. ⁣
⁣
What I ❤️ about this video is her instincts. ⁣
✔️She adjusts her hands away from the edge of the Chair to increase her stability. ⁣
✔️She identities the challenge of the exercise correctly: “you’re stopping yourself from flying.”⁣
⁣
The ultimate lesson here is in stepping back and LISTENING. I have learned (over my years of teaching) to listen and watch. I learn so much from observing my clients’ natural instincts. I have discovered new exercises and ways of doing things out of a client executing an exercise differently than how I cued them.⁣
⁣
Watch til the end with the 🔊SOUND ON: ⁣
⁣
🙌 “Barrel, Barrel, YES!!!!!” 🙌⁣
⁣
If only everyone were this excited about Pilates! 🤣⁣

Balancing a ball on your shins gives you the most

Balancing a ball on your shins gives you the most feedback to⁣
maintain a neutral pelvis. ⁣
⁣
🔥 Neutral pelvis=perfect positioning=most effective ab strengthening.⁣
⁣
Try this variation of 💯s while balancing a ball in tabletop. You will have optimal focus on your position and stability, and work your core more effectively. ⁣
⁣
🟡 I’ve added a small ball under my sacrum for a little extra core stability challenge. ⁣
⁣
Swipe ➡️ for arm circles.....they’re not just about arms! 😉⁣

🔥 Core on the chair! ⁣
⁣

⁣
2️⃣ Flat Back: create length in your ribs and side waist as you lean back, working your abs in a long position.⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Twist: Stabilize your pelvis in neutral and mobilize your thoracic spine as you twist, targeting your oblique muscles.⁣

✨Front Rowing⁣
⁣
To think that my previous young self found this exercise easy and boring. 🤷‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
My muscles weren’t burning. 🔥⁣
⁣
I also had a very limited awareness of my posture and spent much of my waking hours hunched forward and self-conscious. ⁣
⁣
💡NOW, I get it! ⁣
⁣
I understand the postural benefits from this Rowing series—and the importance of good posture in daily life. ⁣
⁣
Good posture is important for the PHYSICAL health of your spine and shoulders.⁣
⁣
Good posture is important EMOTIONALLY. Demonstrate the confidence and comfort in your own skin to show up standing tall....every day. ⁣
⁣
Open up your shoulders and your ❤️ to be available and present.⁣
⁣
See? 😉 This work is not just for your body. ⁣
