This was wonderful! So helpful! I’ve done this 1000s of times but I felt something wasn’t right yesterday. So glad I watched this. The rock with my inhale exhale was everything I needed. Thanks for that connecting piece! Live my deck of cards!!!

Swan is a tricky one for sure! But worth practicing

Great video 😊 at 2.53, what is meant by reaching tailbone towards heals? does that refer to a posterior pelvic tilt?

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

Hey @hannah I wouldn't call it a tilt. Although for some it might feel that way. Essentially you're keeping the pelvis neutral. When we lay on our stomachs and do extension most people push their lower back down, or if they're quads/psoas is tight they lift their tailbone. Again all of this puts more extension in the lower back. The goal is to get more extension in the upper back. So you're not pulling the tailbone to the floor between your legs. You're aiming it for your heels so the pelvis remains in a position to allow your lower back to have longer extension and your upper back to have more.

Perhaps you were looking for something else.

[@etain.pilates]

Actually, looks pretty great to me, and pretty consistent with my Balanced Body training. Lesley’s actually Jay Grimes trained, and I am pretty confident with her knowledge of Pilates. I don’t know what troll hole you crawled out from, but I suggest you go back there.
