Pilates Reformer Exercise #23: The Long Back Stretch

Join me for this short video tutorial on the Long Back Stretch, a challenging exercise done on the Reformer.
We'll use the Long Back Stretch to discover a deeper connection to our lower body, an important part of the 2-way stretch we use in Pilates.
Unsure of what the 2-way stretch is, and how to find it (them)? no worries, I'll talk about that too so you can take your Pilates workout to the next level.

Ok, I just watched several of your videos on the different exercises in the long stretch series, and they all spoke to me in so many ways!! Just sort of sinking onto the footbar in the Downstretch when the carriage is closed, instead of lifting up... Dropping my pelvis at the bottom of the Upstretch... pretty much ALL THE THINGS in the Long Back Stretch (that’s the exercise that got me watching all the other videos as well, lol!)... wowzers, so many things to think about and work on. Thanks so much for sharing all your knowledge and tips!! ❤️. So very helpful!

Hi Stacey! Thanks so much for watching my videos and for your kind words on them. I am glad you are finding them to be helpful and I hope you'll become a subscriber and tell all your friends :) I need to revisit this topic - my Long Stretch Series is such a challenging one for me to do properly. So stay tuned for another round of these bad boys LOL and keep up the good work - these exercises are no joke right? xox
