I just tried this 40-min Pilates class with a small ball — wow! 💪 My core feels strong, and my body is stretched and energized. Perfect for all levels!

📍Slow progression still Progression, and it’s very beneficial during Pilates training as we’ll avoid injuries and unwanted fatigue. By planning progression we'll keep our muscles challenged and we’ll get much stronger! …You can try practice with these two Pilates moves: 🌱 Phase 1-2-3 🌱 1 • Start by getting familiar with the movement and the breathing 2 • Incorporate a little progression 3• We make the whole body work Two main things to remember: 🤍 THORACIC BREATHING: Feel your ribs expand when inhaling, and contract back when exhaling. 🤍 SPINE IMPRINTS: our back is completely attached to the mat throughout the whole exercise. #pilates #pilatesflow #healthylifestyle #fitnessjourney #practice #progress (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2QkcOsTwZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You asked me what is the right number of repetitions in Pilates practice. It is recommended from as little as 6 to as many as you can manage. If you reached 20 and not feeling anything, this means it's time for a progression eg., adding some resistance. In all my trainings, I always advise to listen to your own body and the last couple movements should feel like a struggle. #pilatesislife #pilatesmethod #pilatesbodies #pilatesflow #pilatesrepetitions #pilatesnatal #pilatespro #pilatespernambuco #pilatespravida #pilatesinstrutor #pilatesstyle #pilatesmovement #pilatespose #pilatesestudio #pilateshorsham #pilatesclinic #pilatesforhealth #pilatesbunny #pilatesisforeverybody (at Bodywise Gym & Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZNT7rnPKn/?igshid=gaht3cxkg1c2

Working in adding more to this flow series. Turned the box the short way for more work in the back hamstring/glute. Added biceps and shoulder rows after the rotation. It starts with a lat pull, but you’ve seen that so didn’t bother here. Keep perfecting these flow series and shoot me any ideas, requests you have and I’ll incorporate. #pilates #pilatesflow #workingtogether #fitnessfamily #fitnesscooperation #buildittogether. #pilatesreformer https://www.instagram.com/p/ButpYyaAjDK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ljqt7xoh68n

I wasn’t always a fan of stretching because I used to equate it to pain. 🙄 As a kid taking dance classes, I was never as flexible as most of the other dancers. I would force myself too far into stretches without having grasped the concept of core stability. No wonder I found it painful and no wonder my flexibility wasn’t improving. I wasn’t able to sit up tall with my legs straight out without feeling strain in my back, hip flexors, and even in my neck. This was a position I would often find in dance warmups. It’s not hard to move your spine freely, if you have the flexibility to do so in that position. But if your back, hip flexors, and hamstrings are too tight like mine were, it’s really difficult to do anything in that position without any modification (sitting on a box). I’ve come a long way since those days. Now, I can sit up easily in this position without any strain, allowing my back to move freely. The cadillac table push through bar is also a helpful resistance tool. 😋 Stretching feels amazing if you listen to your body and DO IT RIGHT. Know your limitations and use props for extra support if necessary. Forcing a stretch can result in injury. Most importantly of all, BREATHE. 🌬 Having control over your breath is 🔑 for a well executed stretch.
