5m 37s
In this video Ilaria take a closer look at three classical Pilates exercises—Scissors, Bicycle, and Shoulder Bridge—to better understand their biomechanics, purpose, and execution.
• Scissors: Cultivate control and precision as you open the legs in the sagittal plane with clear intention.
• Bicycle: Deepen the stretch and mobility in the hips, targeting the psoas and rectus femoris through a dynamic, flowing sequence.
• Shoulder Bridge: Wrap up with a hand-free variation to reinforce hip and pelvic stabilization.
This is not a traditional mat workout, but rather a breakdown that enhances your teaching and personal practice by clarifying technique, transitions, and priorities. No props required—but be ready to think, feel, and refine.
