The hips are a mobile joint they can swivel, glide, rotate, move into extension and flexion along with a few other patterns! In our everyday lives we get so use to only moving forward like when walking or running and we get pulled into hip flexion too often! We explore all of the different ranges of motion for the hips in this video as well as releasing tension and duty from the low back which often is recruited to work when the hips are stuck and not moving properly.

This video is for you if you are not feeling super motivated to move your body or workout at this moment but you KNOW you always feel better after you do. These movements keep you on the ground most of the hour, working on your side, your back and then right at the end we stand up. Trust me by then you will have a lot more energy brewing to complete the standing squat/hinge series! An hour may seem long but just begin and trust me this one goes by fast. I was feeling so good after filming this I was inspired to go outside and do a 3 mile walk after and that was at 7 PM! Have fun, this brings us back to our basic pilates movements. No special equipment needed.

We are utilizing light weights here for our arm & core work. Think oblique work paired with rotator cuff health! Shoulders will be feeling this workout big time. The light weights can be humbling! I recommend taking the video prior to this which warms you up with mobility and primes you for this class where we dive right into harder movements! That video is called mid- spine, shoulder and hip health.

Bodyweight full body pilates session- one of my favorite sequences to teach. We touch on quite a bit of core work here, giving a fair bit of love to the obliques especially. If you are hoping to touch a bit of everything, upper body, legs, glutes and core this video is for you. We have fun here with a lot of single leg work and cross body/ lateral movements. This is a very grounding class, we do not leave the mat for more than a few minutes to stand.
