on the reformer is one my favorite exercises. Here is a variation that I love to play with in classes as a prep for semi circle.

The back is part of the body that can never be seen
This is why backward extensions must be felt rather than expressed
The other groups of asana can, to start with, be expressed before being felt
Backward extensions put us in contact with this region
According to B.K.S. Iyengar, backward extensions are a means of introversion for the practitioner

The reformer is a versatile piece of equipment. I love love my reformer. I am able to move in so many different ways that keeps my practice interesting, functional and effective. Strengthening exercises are extremely important for our modern bodies since we spend so much time sitting in chairs.
When you have hip pain don’t just focus on flexibility add strength work to your hip health routine as well. The benefits of strengthening exercises at hip not only helps stability and mobility of the joint but plays an important role in knee alignment and healthy spine.
Get up and move everyday

The Full Body Roll Up is great for strengthening your core, but it is also an excellent stretch for the entire backside of your body. You stretch your hamstrings, lower back and upper back with the slow, controlled motion.
Try slowing down your roll to articulate and stretch your spine. You can bend your knees, or use a band or a magic circle to accomplish the roll up successfully. You can use both this exercise as warm up, or a cool down in your practice.

I always like to end my Pilates sessions with a mini Savasana (rest pose). After a workout, it’s good to just be for a moment and do nothing. Here, I have my soles of the feet together on the jumpboard and my hips on a squishy pilates ball.

Savasana has many wonderful benefits, including increasing awareness of our body. Awareness of our body’s sensations can give us feedback on how we are feeling, and on our own unique body signals.

♦️

When we are aware of our body signals, we can find motivation to self-regulate and to do something that restores the comfort within your body. This is called interoception. Interoception is the foundation of many areas of our lives like good mental health and healthy social connection.
