In this session we begin by talking about the importance of length in your neck. Be careful how you hold it or it can hurt! We are also beginning to add FLOW to our exercises. One exercise moves right into another. As always, if these exercises don’t suit you, please use a previous variation. This isn’t a race to the end – its a journey and some exercise variations will benefit you more than others. We add new exercises (Criss Cross and Side Kicks) and new variations of existing exercises in this video. We reach several of our “GOAL” variations in this video as well. We end with balance work. We also introduce the Pilates Magic Circle! You can use a ball if you don’t have one. If you want to purchase a magic circle shown here, you can find one here: https://www.amazon.com/Stamina-AeroPilates-Circle-Reformer-Workouts/dp/B000W09NYM/ref=asc_df_B000W09NYM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167126942833&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7851124462848656149&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003593&hvtargid=pla-305893874589&psc=1

We are almost there! The focus here is connecting your back body during the exercises in this video and centering your body during the exercises, too. Most of the exercises in the workout are the goal exercises, although we cover a few new ones as well.

We are almost there! All the exercises are the goal exercises and we work on the Pilates Principle of FLOW in this video. Ending with small arm weight standing exercises.

We have arrived! Join us today for a preview of a typical Classical mat pilates class. You’ll see all the familiar exercises with a twist. We are adding the Magic Circle again today for strength, centering and reminder to use your back as well as your front muscles!
