Your legs should be at right angles

Could you explain how you added the handles to your Wunda (especially how to know where to place it)? I have a classical Wunda from Legacy & I bought their high chair arms to add handles.

I hade a lot of pain in the groin area for a lomg while. Therapist did a lot in the groin area, massages, dry needling nothing helped. On top of that i got an infection in my back that blocked and pushes against a lot of nerves. I tried a lot but since i discoverd about the psoas muscle and start releasing and relaxing it. A lot of symptons went away 😮

Thank you❤

Feet away from wall

You are so informative!! This is great to see. It really helped me understand my own body awareness.

Excellent

This nade me laugh. I rarely teach stomach massage either. I dont get it! Thank you for this video. I say the same to teachers in my studio. Teach what you know and understand!💟

Something interesting to chew on re: stomach massage and standing push down is how one exercise can help the other :) next time you are doing stomach massage 1 and you drop your heels, think about the problem that you mentioned in standing push down with the people who cannot stabilize their shoulders and lift out of the round back. its the same shape and same root cause. in SM1 you can use your hands on the reformer carriage to pull back towards your body, like you would use your hands on the pedai, and you can use the springs like gravity, when you are standing up you lift stomach against gravity and when you are sitting on reformer for stomach massage you use the springs to get that lift. So my first tip for SM would be to start in the second half of the exercise (straight leg position) and find your standing push down on the chair feeling, then let the springs help you pull your stomach against "gravity" as your knees flex. Second tip is to think of the first half of SM as roll like a ball and if you are tight don´t be shy about gearing out to give yourself room to balance your legs. Also when you are doing short spine - everybody loves short spine, but if you think about it... it is Stomach Massage in the air, right? You started with long legs and brought yourself in to the lil ball shape. Anyway those are ideas to play with to maybe help you think of stomach massage as less of a bitter pill to swallow. Have fun :)

Great video. Thanks

I’m going to try this

I also like supported neutral as an in between imprint and neutral.

Hi Thank for your videos. I have a question though. My wife has kyphosis (curved upper back). We bought the spine corrector barrel and looking for the adequate exercices please. Could you please refer us to soke videos addressing this? Thanks again

Thank you! You explained it very clear. I had difficulties understanding this material but now I see it more clearly!

Can you do the same exercise but instead of the wall, use my body so that at the top of the position both your lovely feet are resting on my face?

Beautiful shape of her feet

Hi! What spring load do you use for this exercise?

The rectus abdominis works : you are keeping the lower abdominal engaged: as you pull the lower abdominal inward and upward along the back all that way to the crown of the head

Love this! Thanks for sharing :D

Thank you!

why not just a child pose or cat stretch

Nice!

Wow, amazing spine control! Thanks for providing such a good demonstration

I'm glad to see that you created the Pilates Encyclopedia. We met very briefly when I was doing teacher training in Hadley a few years ago. I'll consider a subscription as I'm always looking for ideas for my clients, including the 90/90 that I'd like to revisit. Thanks!

Clean, clear and precise, great!

Very nice 👍

Might be a rookie question but what about adductor stretch on the reformer? The adduction of the legs in that exercise would be in the frontal/coronal plane but with the legs hinged forward at the waist that would be in the sagital plane… So would you say the exercise happens in both planes? Or would you break down each movement within the exercise to point out where each movement is within its respective plane? Orrrrr would it be in the frontal/coronal plane because it’s adduction and I’m just confused?

thank you for this detailed instructions

Thank you so much! Such a great tutorial :)

Is it true laying on your stomach helps keep your organs in place?

Thank YOU. You have explained it explicitly and now it's for us to do it right!

Thank you. Your ability to explain this topic - is far beyond that of any other videos I have been watching. Your ability - also took you on to explain - that - - everyone is different - and small incremental Changes can eventually make a big difference.

Why is it important, to keep the pelvis neutral and avoid pelvic tilt/work from ribs up only (especially muscle/alignment vise)? You mentioned we dont want the rectus abdominis to work, could you elaborate? Thank you for your videos, they really deepen my practice.
