14m
Join Ilaria for this dynamic Up and Over Mat workout, where opposites meet to create balance and strength. You’ll explore classic Pilates pairings like Roll Up with Roll Over, Neck Pull with Jackknife, and even Jackknife with Teaser. Each couple complements the other, helping you find symmetry, control, and deeper core activation.
