Catering to different client populations means using variations to meet their needs & goals. This variation, of the traditional exercise swan, helps clients with back issues isolate one side of their spine to encourage proper alignment & reduce pain.

If you’re interested in learning more exercise variations & take your practice to the next level, DM me about upcoming workshops & events!

Exercises like hawk are often ignored because of the challenge. Whether you’re a beginner/new to Pilates or a seasoned practitioner, this variation of hawk targets your obliques without the strain on your back. It’s important to work lateral flexion of the spine to create a mobile back & a strong core.

In addition to Hawk, here are 4 ways you should move your spine to strengthen your abs:

Forward flexion (crunches)
Lateral flexion (side bends like Hawk)
Spinal extension (swan/cobra)
Rotation (twists like bicycle crunches)

Here are your new go-to stretches for at home — All you need is a little space 💖

Spinal rotation helps with posture by opening your chest & encouraging rotation through the spine. Long day at work … think spinal rotation.

Hip release opens your hips. The movement stems from the top of the femur bone into the hip socket. Maintain neutral pelvis for the best results! If you have back pain, this one’s for you!

This is how I teach planks ✨

Clients begin on their hands and knees. This modification allows them to focus on proper alignment. If you’re an instructor, you want your clients to have a strong posterior chain (especially their glutes).

If you’re a practitioner or an instructor looking to level up either your own personal practice or your teaching, join the studio on…
