Timing is a key component in many, if not all Pilates exercises.

Let’s look at Overhead & Jackknife
- one is performed on the reformer the other the mat but very similar. However the support of the straps on the reformer helps build strength in the upper body and support the weight of the lower body.

Teaser on the reformer and the mat.
- both difficult, but again the straps are providing support and allowing you to work on timing and build strength

The use of the equipment is so clever, remember the heart of The Method is the mat, but the apparatus will always help build and connect to the mat.

Happy Teaser Tuesday!

You got this! Proper use of the apparatus can help YOU get Teaser. You just know have to use them and why.

Wunda Chair- Strength
Reformer - Timing & upper body connection
Spine Corrector- pelvic support
Cadillac- upper body support/ length

All this support and strength building leads to the mat exercise- no help just you.

Finally time to play on my Guillotine!

I thought it would be best to start with an exercise that I / we all know well in the Pilates community, Tower & Reverse Tower. While it is the same exercise, the way it feels and the feedback each apparatus shares is different.

Things that they share:
- spine and hamstring stretching
- supports lift and building strength from the hips or pelvis
- spinal articulation
- and it just feels good on the body!

Things that are different:
- the Guillotine provides more space for those bodies that are tighter or larger framed
- Guillotine points out your imbalances quick. With the bar being supported on either side by springs, you can quickly tell which side of the body is pushing more.
- Guillotine also tells you if you are using Control on both the rolling up and down.

TAKE AWAYS:
*Learn the exercise on the Cadillac first, more supportive
*use the Guillotine to challenge your body and mind and work the imbalances.

Want to learn more about the Guillotine? Book a private or semi private session!

This is a great series for upper body strength, centering and control

Here is the series:
- reverse chest expansion
- arm circles
- shave
- hug
- bicep curls

Great series to strengthen the upper body, open the front body and work the hamstrings. Don’t be fooled your abs and hips have to stabilize the body or you are face planting into the springs. You have to have core control to do a series like this.

I recently attended .citymovesme in Nashville. Here are few take aways.

You can never stop learning

Good teachers invest in their education and continue to grow

Get uncomfortable - get up there, be the body and learn from the presenter

Network - meet new people and connect with folks you already know

Have fun! Experience a new city, and take a friend

What I LEARNED:

See the potential in every client

Let them MOVE

Mat is the Method

Translate the Pilates movement into something they can understand or relate to

And this is my favorite -
“When the body shakes, it is the weakness leaving the body!”

Happy Teaser Tuesday from my new ride! Trying shorter straps, something I learned from the .citymovesme conference from session.

I really like how the shorter straps support my body while doing teaser. I feel like I have much more upper body control. The equipment does make a difference to your practice.

The equipment matters…. Joseph Pilates not only created a brilliant exercise system, but he designed and created apparatus that supported his work.
