Thank you so much for this introduction to the Arm Chair! I'm excited to try these exercises. It was not part of either program I went through. Why do you want your lumbar spine against the chair back vs. having the "normal" curves of the spine present. TIA!

[@PilatesAndrea]

Hi Michele - thanks so much for watching and welcome to the Arm Chair!
Your question is such a good one. Think about the back of the chair as a template to lengthen your back along - So you'll not be pressing your back into the Mat but lifting it tall along the Chair - as though you could become the shape of the Chair - which since we are human is impossible, but the trying to do it is what can keep the back strong and supple. I also like that you put "normal" with the quotations :) I hope this helps to answer your question.

Great tutorial Andrea thanks 😊 like the comparisons you make to ‘reach’ in SM series 👍🏼 ....and love that final breathing exercise 😍😍😍 I think it really helps me to expand my breathing apparatus in my body and my whole back feels lovely when I step off the chair☺️ ... see you soon 🤗

Thank you so much Alessandra! Oh the reach is everywhere... that final exercise is one of my favorites - so invigorating and yes it does feel so good after you get up from the chair - I agree! See you soon xo
