Teaser with the PT Bar

8m 5s
In this focused session, Ilaria Cavagna breaks down one of the most foundational yet challenging Pilates exercises: the Teaser. While this movement often appears on the Mat or Reformer, today’s variation using the Cadillac’s push-through bar offers unique advantages for both beginners and advanced practitioners.
Why start here?
This setup allows for a clean, supportive entry into Teaser work. With the correct lying-down position and top-loaded spring, the push-through bar offers multiple levels of progression—whether you're just beginning to build core strength or refining the full movement. Beyond core engagement, this variation also offers an opportunity to improve shoulder blade mobility and activation.
This standalone Teaser is more than just an exercise—it’s a powerful tool for building strength, control, and awareness. And sometimes, the prep alone is enough to transform your practice.
