A CLOSER LOOK: The Roll Over
In this “Closer Look” session, Ilaria from FEET-NESS breaks down the Rollover, a classical advanced Pilates mat exercise. This workshop-style class focuses on safety, spinal articulation, and proper progression—especially for those working toward the full expression of the movement.
You’ll explore:
• The role of the posterior chain and how to stretch it effectively
• How to protect the neck and maintain safe head and shoulder positioning
• Modifications with bent knees to support spinal mobility
• Step-by-step progressions that build toward the full rollover
This session is ideal for instructors, advanced practitioners, or anyone wanting to understand the biomechanics and safety principles behind one of Pilates’ most challenging mat exercises.
