Hello, I’m a senior recovering from knee hip injury and am currently in physical therapy. However on the days I’m home I wanted to do my exercises which are on the floor and I was wondering, which is the best mat so that I don’t create more problems. Any feedback would be appreciated.
@OnlinePilatesClasses 22 сағат бұрын
great question! If you're not wanting to invest a ton of money then you want a 8-10mm Mat. Please be mindful of the floor you put that mat on. Sometimes they are slippery. If you know Mat Pilates is part of your life forever then the Contrology Mat is the one I love. I have a discount link. Opc.me/perks if you don't see the discount applied then just get me your email and I'll connect you with somoene who can help. xx~LL

Hi. This piece of equipment looks interesting. I have an anterior tilt on the right hip, and thought the swan on the barrel or similar exercises might help support the right hip muscles balancing out so the tilt goes away?
@OnlinePilatesClasses 22 сағат бұрын
great question! Pilates in general can be helpful. This piece can work. But, you might need a combo of chiropractor who is unwravelling you while also doing the arm and leg series on the barrel. We have a discount for this piece if you want it check it out on opc.me/perks or reach out to me if you can't find it and I can connect you with the right person. xx~LL

I've been taking beginning Pilates classes for 3 months from 2 different instructors (3 students max per class (reformer). This is the first I've heard about lateral breathing. I've been doing diaph. breathing while going through my movements. I was told to inhale through the nose (relaxation) and exhale through the mouth (on exertion) during each movement. I can't breathe fully through my nose so I'm inhaling and exhaling through my mouth (pushing my abdomen in and out) through my movements, while simultaneously trying to keep my core zipped up from pubis to top of rib cage. This has always felt wrong and difficult to me. Now I know why. I'm 75 and have a severe diastasis recti due to two surgeries where I was incised from just below the center of the rib cage to the top of my pubis. I had received no discharge instructions to prevent the separation. I've been through 2.5 years of PT, and now am trying Pilates to correct the severe diastastis. Now I'm learning I'm not even breathing correctly. I'm assessing your videos to determine if I want to try your program BTW, you talk very rapidly, which makes it harder to follow), but my daughter has warned me that I need an instructor to be viewing me directly. I am getting stronger with my current Pilates classes, but the DR has only gotten worse.
@OnlinePilatesClasses 5 күн бұрын
Hey there, first thank you for sharing everything it. Its very helpful for me to give you some feedback. Also, I'm so sorry to hear how you got DR that is so frustrating! Re the breath: I don't know why your teacher is suggesting that breath plus all the other abdominal corrections. In life please try to breath in and out through your nose. I know you said that is difficult but mouth breathing soley does have some negative medical results. Please read Breath by James Nestor. Its going to be so fascinating for you! Most teachers are not told how clients should breath. In life I want you to belly breathe! However, for your situation I do think you need in person like you're doing but with a teacher who understands DR. Most teachers are NOT taught how to support a DR just some things to avoid. I know this DR is not due to preganancy. But, you can find experts in DR in the Post Natal Pilates focused instructors. When you have your DR feeling like you're controlling it better than of course we'd love to have you at OPC. There is myself and 6 other teachers. Most who talk much slower than me :) xx~LL

Thank you for this. I was looking to get back into pilates for core strength (in the past when I was doing a couple sessions a week religiously it was the only time I could do a triple pirouette without falling out of it so it really works!) and I didnt realize most online classes did not do classical pilates anymore - I started classes only to find out half way though they started doing yoga or other things in the middle which is NOT what I was looking for. Anyway thank you for this! Just what I needed and was searching for. I guess from now on I have to look for classical pilates. Its the WAY

As for a voice over when I'm just doing the exercise, I intentionally try to give a rep or two of an exercise without my voice so that you can create your own understanding. My teacher always encouraged us to look at the body to see what connections it needs or to understand the exercises better. So, while I could continue to talk.

The real problem for me is that I'm a Pilates teacher since 2021, I use to train weights too and I think my abs are quite fit. But really I struggle a lot and my legs always lift in rolling up. I'm starting to think that is my body "shape", I mean maybe the shape of my spine (lumbar curvature quite deep) or my glutes or hip flexors. What do you think? Thank you!
@OnlinePilatesClasses 18 күн бұрын
Thank you so much for sharing! And, congrats on your teaching journey! Couple things, 1) I know you feel as a teacher you should be able to do it by now. But, honestly, the Roll Up takes time. I think too many people put pressure on themselves to "get it" since its considered a "beginner" exercise. Its really hard! 2) Your abs are strong, but your hip flexors sound tight which means lower back probably is too. However, the Roll Up requires a ton of hamstrings, inner thighs and glutes so your hip flexors don't lift your legs up. Have you seen my elbow slip exercise? Also how are your single leg kicks on the Mat? And, if you're using a mat with a strap that is really helpful. SO many people think the strap is for beginners but its for all levels because it helps you pull the energy back into your center. If you're an OPC member I can look at you do your ROll Up and give you even more detailed support. xx~LL

Lesley, do you have any preference on breath pattern for single leg stretch? I see it taught so many different ways with different patterns of breathing so just curious what your thoughts are. I also love the cue to use hammies for the leg that’s extending.
@OnlinePilatesClasses 19 күн бұрын
You just need to breath naturally. You might get to pull on both legs on one breath cycle or you might get 3 reps in.. it all depends on the person. Too many people make breath patterns for exercises that didn't have. In and out through the nose as you move, no holding the breath. Now, in double leg stretch use the legs to pull in 2x to get all the air out and inhale as you reach. That of course helps you get your chest up :) xx~LL
