Cueing your facial lines and training our muscles to pull in the right directions to keep us elongated in our spines.

We all get tight in our pectorals muscles, this comes from sitting at computers , driving cars and the day to day activities that we have come to know as normal postural habits.

Rotation in the thoracic spine - Pilates with Melissa Laing
Просмотров 6 тыс.7 лет назад
As we get older our thoracic spines gets tight and less mobile. This ultimately puts more pressure on our shoulder and lumbar spine to do more. Finding exercises that not only open up our chest and stretch out our pectorals, but help to release the quadratus lumborum improving rotation and mobility and keep us feeling more agile and less tight.

Reverse the ageing process and work the front and back fascia lines. By keeping the muscles moving in the right direction you can help yourself to stand tall and not to stoop. This exercise is great for kyphotic/ round back types who find their shoulders rolling in from either working at the computer for too long. Excellent for people with some back issues also.

Hi Melissa, do you have any videos on pilates bridges / pelvic lifts?
This is a pelvis tilt. and thank you for your support.
Really useful explanation, thanks so much for this
<<a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you.
What's the link ?
This is amazing, Melissa! Perfect for simple morning stretches, love it!
You’re fantastic!
This is high quality information
This ball is similar to squash game Ball.
this was a really useful breakdown of how to make sure my back stays on the ground when I do any variation of leg extensions! thanks.
Hi Melissa. Believe it or not I am unable to locate a small enough massage ball like the one you're using at the beginning of this video. Would you be able to link to the one you have?
These two videos are the best videos for pilates Breathing, all the scientific examples of muscles etc has been essential to understanding how to do it for someone who has not been able to understand all the vague examples I've seen elsewhere
Thank you for your kind words I am glad it has helped. Melissa
Such an informative video! Thanks for giving the explanation with Boris.. enjoyed the white wine, red wine breath metaphor. Always good to have deeper understanding of the Pilates Principles
Do a million more bare feet soles exercise videos showing your soles and toes pointing and flexing and spreading close up to see the movements clearly please, you really help me out!
so clear brilliant and thank you fabulous MELISSA
this helped me a lot, thanks so much! Greeetings from Germany
Picture perfect MILF!
This was amazing !!! I've been suffering from trigger points and pain in the pectoris area.This provided such relief.Thank You for sharing
HI Bibiana Alvarez, Thank you kindly
I liked your harmony with yourself, it is immediately visible.
Thank you that’s a lovely compliment.
Thank you Melissa😘. Would you consider a Pilates class for older people as I am new to Pilates having done yoga all my life and I’m sure other senior people would enjoy your teaching too. Plus, it’s great to hear an Australian voice. Where do you live? I d love to attend your classes if you lived near. Mellaine from Brisbane😊
Hi Mellaine, I’m in Adelaide, however all my exercise choices are safe for older clients. Pilates is only affective if done properly. If you find yourself in Adelaide please come and visit. Kind thoughts Melissa
Im amazaed nobody has said thank you! Thank you for sharing this! It's definitely one of the best pelvic floor explanations i've seen.....This really works to get in touch.
Thank you koodz I had yet to respond to your previous comment from toe taps, so I am pleased you found your explanation here. Kind thoughts Melissa
Hi! Thanks for the nice clear and concise explanation! One question for you: you said depending on if you're a man or a woman, you would squeeze or lift the pelvic floor? Which is for who haha? If you want to say why, that'd be a cool video maybe? If it's too much for a comment..... Thanks anyway, I like your videos.
Men lift, women squeeze. I will let you be creative why.
@@MelissaLaingPilates hi, hope you can help me, lift what or squeeze what?
How many a day to help under arm fat to go away lol
In Pilates we do things in sets of ten. Regarding fat this is not the purpose of the exercise. We all have fat that is healthy and or unhealthy I would consider the food as a way to change that in that sometimes we eat things that don't serve us for example I recently change how much milk I was drinking and that dramatically changed the way my body felt. Pilates is about tone and functionality ( joint integrity). We are about preservation and longevity.
doesn't posteriorly tilting pelvis cause hip extension, so the hip flexors will actually be elongated than be engaged?
Naoky Sato hi the aim is not to posteriorly tilt but move to neutral with balanced activation of both posterior and anterior muscle groups. Watch again it’s definitely not about tucking. Hope that helps we are always working towards a good plumb line. Cheers Mel
Your feet are muscular, veiny, high-arched and very beautiful
thank you
Your videos are very informative. I am new to Pilates and your information is vital to me to better understand what I do when I go to class. - Do you have or can provide me a list of which videos to look at first, second, etc. A chronological list would help tremendously. - Thank you. I am inviting all my Pilates friends to subscribe to your channel.
Hi Lia, A persons posture dictates the prescription of exercises. However start with stretches then pelvic tilts, all exercises lying prone ( on your tummy) the supine (on your back) the side then add rotation at the end. Kind thoughts, Melissa
Oh my God! She is Beautiful!!!!
Great exercise for active thorax extension and scapula retraction, thank you Melissa!
thank you
so you dont suggest lateral breathing while in position for side kicks?
Hi Vicky, Sorry for the late response. I am not sure what you mean there is lateral breathing ?
Totally agree with you. Unflexal is awesome for my daily practice
Nice! Lovely to hear an Australian accent. :)
i have same problem. can you different excersize show me
your beautiful woman
Thank you
I found these little nubby balls that are a semi hard rubber and larger than a golf ball, but smaller than a lacrosse ball. They work incredibly well for myofascial release.
Great and perfect
Very nice

Very helpful explanations!

Your videos are amazing :) thanks!
thank you
I was wondering, can I try being the ball?
