Thanks for your question! A flat back isn't necessarily a problem - there is a huge range of variation in individual postures and we don't need to correct a posture unless it is causing pain, or in the case of exercise making the exercise less effective. The spinal curves tend to flatten more with age and for some people they adopt a flatter back as it relieves pain. However, if the flat back is causing pain, you could start with our Pelvic Clock exercise - focussing on rocking from 12 to 6: ruclips.net/video/3GBwBBt63Xw/видео.html

That's great to hear! The is the beauty of Pilates, and especially physio led Pilates - we can break down challenging exercise into much more manageable parts. In fact, we would say that lots of people are not doing those other exercises effectively because they are so challenging - so they use compensatory strategies to 'cheat'. These are the foundations that will help you to build up to more advanced exercises.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment

The ones which ‘look easy’ are always the best ones! 😊

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Absolutely 😊 straight arms offer weight bearing through your wrists. Both straight arms and on your elbows (imagine pressing them down into the floor) aim to help with shoulder stability too. Do you prefer on your elbows because of wrist pain?? Or just personal preference? 💙

Thanks for watching! ❤️

You’re welcome!

You're welcome!

Any firm foam roller works great for this. There are lots on Amazon, just make sure it’s over 60cm as they sell half size ones too!

You are welcome! 💙

Thanks for your comment. It’s the idea of being able to keep your body connected to the floor. Not consciously pressing down but allowing your body to feel heavy on the floor. Does that make a bit more sense? Let us know if you have anymore questions 😊

@@completepilatesuk yes, thank you. I understand.

Thanks for this @eleanoratrainor. That’s really useful feedback. If you head to our Instagram @complete_pilates we have put on our stories some foot questions. On here we have also added a link to Jane’s online course that you may find useful! Let us know 🥰

@@completepilatesuk Thank you for responding and your referrals . With gratitude 🙏🏼

Thanks for the feedback. 😊

Practise makes perfect! 😊

@seda551962 you’re more than welcome. We’re glad you found it useful

@svetlanavasic keep trying. Unfortunately it can take time and you have to have patience with yourself. Try moving to toe out with your hand and seeing if you can hold it there as a start

You're welcome 😊

Thank you so much for your comment. A lot of the time imprint spine is completely misunderstood and this is often because the subtleties you explain really well don’t get understood, or taught. Often this is because the training doesn’t go into it so people then take it to mean brace etc. I couldn’t agree more that different exercises require different amounts and this is a natural process determined by the type of movement and direction of movement. With injuries, illnesses, surgeries etc the strategies you use can completely change

@completepilatesuk I'm a Remedial Massage therapist and I've recently been learning Pilates. I found that my massage clients who were going to Pilate classes were confused about all of this, so I'm making sure I explain it in my classes the best I can 😊

@@marijka9933 that’s awesome. The two are brilliant to put together as tactile cueing (in a facilitator way) can enhance the movement experience so much! Love the explanation you’re giving and hopefully it means your clients have the understanding to put into their movements 🥰

Thanks! 🩵

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 🩵

We would always suggest trying it out and seeing which feels most natural to you! We want breath to be gentle and soft, not forced. Exhaling on the effort will always help you release into the stretch more. Have a go and let us know which you prefer! 😊🩵

Thank you! It was wonderful filming in it! 🩵

You're so welcome! 😊

Thanks for your question. I am assuming you’re referring to pelvic girdle pain or pubic synthesis dysfunction? If so, we wouldn’t recommend side splits, we would recommend other exercises which switch on and activate your glutes instead. ☺️

Thanks for your comment! Planks aren’t dangerous during your pre natal period. However, you need to ensure you are not ‘doming’ or ‘coming’ through your core whilst you’re planking. If you find that you are, then you need to regress the plank on to your knees. They are a great way to keep your upper body nice and strong, ready for when baby arrives and your picking them up and holding them all the time! 🩵

Thanks so much for your comment @coriannecrepeau5566. Really glad you enjoyed it. There will be more classes appearing all the time!

No problem, hope it helped!

Yes this will help, but do you have any specific concerns around strengthening this area?

Hi Molly, this is a great exercise to build core control with spinal flexion. Do you have an injury which would make this exercise a contraindication?? Let us know :)

We know right! Our amazing teacher Laurent make's it look easy!

We love it too! Which do you prefer? The mat or reformer variation?

Let us know how you get on with trying it! 🙌🏻

That's amazing to hear!

Thanks - it is a lovely space!!

😊❤

Thanks for your question. The best thing to do is speak to a foot and ankle physio like Jane. It could have contributed to it as it may mean that you are gripping with your toes but it is really difficult to say without looking at your feet and entire walking and movement pattern. Drop us an email if you want more help.

Glad we could help @nellyswilla8478! Hope you are feeling better doing these?
