L O N G Stretch 😍
One of the hardest aspects of learning Pilates is realizing that an exercise does not have to feel exactly the way it looks.
In Long Stretch, if all you feel is your arms, it is often because you are being too literal with the movement and missing the nuance of organizing the rest of your body.
The nuances matter in Pilates.
The challenge is learning to change the way you think about movement and accepting that the arms are not meant to carry this exercise alone.
