An exercise like short spine can get super “wordy”, so you need to be clear and concise before you add extra layers. I weave the basic actions with goal oriented movement so students hear the directions but also understand the intention behind a sequence that can feel complex. After I prime and set them up in the starting positions, I run them through these directional cues ⬇️ 1️⃣ Roll the pelvis off the mat. And while bringing the legs overhead, roll the spine off the carriage until balanced on the shoulder blades. while they are heading in that direction, say: 2️⃣ While pressing the upper arms into the mat to anchor, keep some tension in the straps, and bring the carriage closer to home. Stop while there’s still tension in the straps. Sense the back of your legs and spine stretching. 3️⃣ Keeping the spine lifted — with the sits bones reaching upward toward the ceiling — continue reaching up through the spine as you bend knees toward the shoulder blocks. While keeping the straps a bit taut, roll the spine back onto the mat sequentially to the starting position. Extra Tips ⬇️ Cueing the straps to feel “loosely taught” allows the student to find where they need to stop the carriage, instead of having everyone try to come into the same stopping point. 🔖 Save if you found this helpful 🙏🏼 🚨P.S.

This is one of my all-time favorite exercises on the Wunda Chair done with one spring. They are not 20 year old shoulders, but they are serving me well, and for this I am eternally grateful 🙏 | Rael Isacowitz | rael_isacowitz · Original audio

That’s why it is so vital that we train the four directions in which the spine can move: ❤️ Flexion ❤️ Extension ❤️ Lateral flexion ❤️ Rotation (shown in this video) Flexion of the spine is like giving your back a nice, gentle stretch forward. It’s like reaching for your toes in the morning to wake up your body. When you bend forward, you’re lengthening the muscles in your back, which can get stiff from sitting too long. Plus, it’s a good way to ease any tension in your lower back and hamstrings. Extension of the spine, like arching backward, is like hitting the ‘undo’ button for your spine after it’s been stuck in a forward-slouching position. It helps to stretch out tight muscles in the front of your body (like those hip flexors and abs), while also giving a good stretch to the front of your spine. This movement opens up your chest, gives your back muscles a bit of a workout, and keeps your spine in a healthy, happy alignment. Rotation of the spine is like giving it a twisty stretch, kinda like wringing out a towel. It helps keep your spine flexible and nimble, which is important for everyday movements like turning to look behind you or reaching for something. Plus, it gets those muscles around your spine fired up and engaged, which is great for overall stability and strength. So, think of it as a way to keep your spine happy and mobile! When we do exercises that work the spine in all directions, we train our deep stabilizers to support us in whatever way we are moving throughout the day. This will also lubricate your spine and increase range of motion and overall spinal health! If you are not moving your spine in all four directions during your Pilates practice then you aren’t moving in your fullest potential! Whenever I program my sessions, I always try to include at least one exercise of each spine direction. Not only does this add variety to my class, but it also helps improve the lives of my clients. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 | Mountain West Pilates | Jesse McCartney · Leavin'
