Pilates Avital

Finding the balance in life...
The Crow, my favourite pose!

Plank is fun!!! You can get a lot of great benefits from adding this exercise to your regular routine, such as: A toned belly,reduce back pain, flexibility, improve your mood,improve your balance and posture.

The weekend is almost here and this is the time that you'll probably want to clear your mind and meditate.
This pose called The Reverse Warrior.
Keep your right knee bended in 90 degrees and your left leg fully extended. extend your right arm up and back. Place your left arm along your left leg but don’t apply any weight. Feel your back muscles engage as your body make the transition to Reverse Warrior pose. Keep your sternum lifted so that your spine stays long. Take full and rhythmic breaths.

Have a great weekend :)

In this picture you can see the Shoulder bridge Prep. When you feel stable in this pose you can continue to the Shoulder Bridge: Fold one knee in toward your chest and then extend that leg toward the ceiling, lower your leg so that your knees are side by side and again lift your leg toward the ceiling.
Shoulder Bridge is an intermediate - advanced Pilates exercise. It requires a lot of strength from the abdominals and hamstrings as they stabilize a lifted pelvis against the movement of a fully extended leg.
