Pilates Ambassador Verónica Ruiz

For all my flexible people, question for you⁉️
And I want you to answer with your most honest answer:

Do you really feel flexible? Can you identify where you are moving from?
Could you identify if your flexibility is compensating for some stiffness part in your body?

In this rowing variation, my intention is actually to contain my flexibility (not to move from it) but to create mobility within the rigidity of my middle and upper back.

Somebody else?

If ou feel identified with this, practice it and let me know.

The same applies to this horseback variation. Here, I’m exploring how to create elevation from flexion and ribcage mobility, using the rounded shape of my rib cage rather than escaping it.

Sometimes the goal isn’t to become more flexible.
Always it’s to learn how to move within the flexibility you already have and create mobility where you don’t.

Let’s keep working on it.

Sending much love 💜 keep learning.

I’m working on this ✨ This version of Swan on the Reformer with the Short Box is inspired by the work documented by Carola Trier on the Junior Reformer.

I find the approach incredibly interesting, and I’ll be sharing my impressions, as well as how I’m exploring and integrating it into the dynamics of my classes.

We’ll be diving into this and much more at my Reformer Workshop in London .pilates.amersham this September.

Happy Monday and much love 🤎

One hour of Contrology workout may be just around 4% of your day, but its impact can improve the other 96%.
