You’ve probably heard that phrase “turn that frown upside down?” It’s a bit patronizing and technically incorrect, so we’d like to give a little adjustment. Let’s “invert that frown upside down!” #nerds
As some of you may know, the classical Pilates mat order has inversions sprinkled throughout like: roll over, rolling like a ball, corkscrew, etc. Inversions can be intimidating, but fear not, even if you can’t or don’t invert, learning about the muscles and strength required to turn yourself upside down helps your overall Pilates practice.
Both Monday and Friday with address the same theme. Practice makes better so come to both!

The reverse upper-ab curl. Say that ten times fast! Curling the spine up and against gravity happens from the head first and from the tail first; one is more challenging than the other and leads to an inversion (hint: the latter). Today’s class is all about learning how to control the pelvis to invert the spine. Bring your full-size bath towel.

GRAB BAG. Let’s end August with a great request! Last week we worked on how the hips relate to the low back and what a workout that turned out to be!

Hips off with the 3 inch rule (Mr. Pilates’ words paraphrased, not mine)! We’ll explore tips and tricks to help “curl the tail” and lift the pelvis lift off the mat 3 inches and beyond.
See you on the mat!
