😄Seated Laterals/Side Bends😁 This is a love

😄Seated Laterals/Side Bends😁

This is a lovely sequence I originally learned from Ron Fletcher. I’m seated on the Step of the Spine Corrector, feet in Diamond. Of course, Ron used his famous red #fletchertowel for this series, but here, I’ve substituted a medium/heavy purple #dynaband.

1- Seated Laterals with Signature #fletcherpercussivebreath
2- Side bend to one side, with recovery through center
3- Full Side Bending with body sweeps from side to side

Notice how I use #yogabricks to raise the level of the mat higher; my side bends aren’t as supple as they used to be!

🏖Beach Shoot 🏖with PilatesAnytime

It’s #worldballetday2021 so I thought I’d post some contemporary photos that go back to my roots as a #balletdancer
As a youngster, I trained at the @sab_nyc and then danced in Europe with the @genevaballet & #frankfurtballet
The Beach 🏖 is a super place to practice dancing, especially leaps & kicks! Thanks to the PA team, who made me feel special for a couple of days & brought out my #joyofmovement 🙏🤩❤️

Magic Circle ⭕️ Postural Demo In Pilates Gro

Magic Circle ⭕️ Postural Demo

In Pilates Group classes, I like to use the Magic Circle to help illustrate the 3 dimensions of the Human Body to my students. Slide left to discover how the 2 pads of the Magic Circle ⭕️ can give all your clients some terrific visual & postural cues!

“Sound on” to hear my verbal prompts. These clips are from a recent Online Workshop for Japanese Pilates Instructors. Many thanks to @hidekokikuta & @thephysicalenlightenment for organizing & translating to Japanese for me, respectively🙏🤩❤️

🦶Writing with the Feet🦶

Are you “right footed,” or “left footed?” This is a fabulous & fun way to find out. You will also strengthen your feet, enhance your coordination & challenge your 🧠 brain!

1- Place a #2 pencil ✏️ on the floor, sharpened end towards your pinky toe.
2- Place your heel on the floor, foot dorsiflexed. Fan the toes apart.
3- Starting with pinky toe, reach over top of pencil & place each toe tip onto the floor, OVER the pencil. Work to individuate EACH toe, one at a time, as if you are playing a keyboard, one key for each toe.
4- Grip pencil with your toes, making a strong “fist” with your foot. Pick the pencil ✏️ up.
5- Write your name on a piece of paper with your foot. Be sure to exercise BOTH 👣 FEET! Are you right footed or left footed?🦶

😂”Swakate” OR “Kneeling Arms Sideways”🤣

3- Drawing the Sword
2- Shaving the Ear & Port de Bras
1- Triceps & Shoulder Girdle in Side Bend

Romana named this series “Swakete” but I have NO IDEA why!? Can someone enlighten us please, and correct my spelling, perhaps?

This is a challenging series. Be sure to maintain your hips evenly throughout the series! Adjust your spring (or gear) to suit your capabilities. This exercise can feel totally different from side to side, especially if you’ve sustained a shoulder injury, or have a postural imbalance such as scoliosis.

~Variations on Climb a Tree~

Here are 3 Variations, building from foundational to advanced, that I learned from Kathy Grant, back in 1982. Many thanks to my Zoom student in Cleveland, Ohio, Colleen Ventura, for her patience with me & her dedication to the work, not to mention her excellent video editing skills!🙏😀🎉

1- Beginning supine on Short Box, in Single Leg Stretch position. Sitting up to the Tree

2- Drawing the torso to the leg/leg to torso

3- Climbing down & up the Tree, with a final balance at the top, & delicious stretch at the end

Ready for the other side?😄
