More lower body strap work. I love using the strap over the knee and doing these exercises as a warm up. I use one blue spring for these. Clam shell x 10 Knee Circles x 10 each way... I try to focus on using the glues as much as possible as well as the core to stabilize the pelvis. Be sure your hips abs shoulders are stacked, too many try to roll back some which takes the core stability out of this.

Playing around with some different foot to strap work. The single leg variations are some of my favorites for working pelvic stability and low body coordination. My favorite cue for these exercises is to make the legs mirror images of each other. Move them at the same level and speed.

Part three of Side Lying Foot to Strap Sequence. Sequence: Parallel Hamstring Pull x12 Rainbow x 12... Leg Circle (Both Direction) x12 Spring: - one blue Cuing: - stack the shoulders and hips - use the core to stabilize the hips - lift the bottom ribs away from the carriage

Last day of spooky abs and Bob Ross came in to demo this challenging multi planar exercise. (Although I think his hair made him top heavy ) Happy Halloween Everyone. And remember just like in painting with Pilates, There are no MISTAKES, only happy accidents.

Part two of the Side lying foot to strap sequence. Sequence: Parallel Foot Press x 12 Turned Out Foot Press x 12... Turned Out Hamstring Pull x 12 Spring - One Blue Cuing: - Use the core to keep the shoulders and hips stacked - Lift the bottom ribs away from the carriage

Not quite so spooky but effective. Sometimes the simple core exercises are the best. Did this with my lvl one class on Monday. My favorite part of this routine is how versatile it is to teach. I’m demonstrating the more advanced version that I have my students who are getting ready to move up a level do. But all three of these can be done with knees down for those still working up the strength. Ps- I’ve been thinking of doing some online class and sequencing work of my teaching method. Leave a comment or DM me if you’re interested.

Day 3 of spooky core work! Be afraid, be very afraid. Love this variation for working on core endurance and some spinal rotation. As you rotate reach forward through the finger tips of the arm staying still.

Today’s core workout: - Teaser Variation: Kick over/under - Plank Walks

It’s the last week before Halloween ! So I thought what would be scarier than to hit a lot of different core work variations this week. Here’s our kick off for Monday: - Mountain Climbers - Side Plank Crunches
