Are you working out exclusively in your apartment and you don't have a spine corrector available? In this class we have substituted the spine corrector with a slightly deflated small ball. We will place it behind the back and under the pelvis to have all the benefits of the round surface, like th...

This quick progression will show you how a few targeted exercises, together with the use of the Rescue LOOP®, can help you arch your back in a Swan, for example—all without feeling any pressure in the lower back and sacroiliac joint. The correct spinal articulation, the ability to open up the hip...

General ELDOA is the only ELDOA in motion. Instead of a still posture we execute three cycles of movements. This ELDOA is for the whole spine: it acts on the dura mater and the fascia of the spinal cord. It’s great as a general warm up for ELDOA and before getting into specif...

Our lifestyle often leaves us dealing with tight hip flexors. The ilio-psoas is a very sophisticated muscle. Its fascia is in contact with the femur (leg) and ilium (hip), the spine (transverse processes and discs), and with the organs of the abdominal cavity. This muscle doesn’t tolerate too muc...

Break it down so it will make more sense and most importantly you will move better. Discover that your teaser is much better ...

In this intermediate/advanced Pilates mat class, Ilaria guides participants through a unique sequence that begins standing. The initial awareness work and lower-limb warm-up help prepare the body, making the floor work easier and more connected. Throughout the mat, she incorporates the bicycle ac...

Stretching is very important, mostly after training or after running and playing sports. This is just a quick flow for when you have very little time, but you don’t want to skip it!

In Joseph Pilates’ book, we only find two exercises for the abdominal series: the single-leg bent and the double-leg bent. Romana, seeing that people needed to strengthen the core, added three other exercises: the single straight leg, double straight leg, and the crisscross. This is what we know ...
