Rowing 2: 90 Degrees with Arm Springs on the Cadillac

Pilates Rowing 2 also known as 90 Degrees on the Pilates Cadillac or Tower is a great place to practice the many parts that this exercise has in it. While a more advanced of all the Rowing exercises it’s great for challenging your arm back connections and your tall back strength. You don’t have to learn 90 Degrees or Rowing 2, first on your Cadillac or Tower but it is helpful. Because the mat isn’t moving like a carriage it makes it easier to focus on all the moving parts. However, the springs are heavier on the Cadillac or Tower so you may find it more possible to do this exercise on your Reformer.

Move the springs with arms connected to your back. No bicep curls!

Sit facing your Arm Springs, legs squeezing tight and together. It’s the same setup as Rowing 1 but with a different arm position to start. Start one legs distance away from the springs. Move back if it’s too easy. One handle in each hand. Fingers long and together lift your arms up to shoulder height and bend your elbows. Palms are facing you. While called 90 Degrees you will have a greater than 90-degree angle at your elbow. It’s not a bicep curl. Sit up as tall as you can to start.

With a very tall back lean back towards the mat behind you. Your arms maintain their start position shape and come along for the ride. Focus more on opening the front of the hips instead of hinging the back. Lean back as far as you can keep your arms in the shape (not pulling your hands to your shoulders) then sit up tall shoulders over hips. Reach your arms forward over your legs with your palms up. Round your spine up and over your legs and then flip your palms and reach your arms long down by your side and back behind you. Try to touch your thumbs or hook them behind you. Lift your arms as high as you can and then circle them around over your feet. Sit tall and repeat. If going well do Rowing 3.

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

See you in class,

xx~LL

A CHRISTMAS TWIST

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

I'm sure it's similar in the USA to Europe - Christmas is around the corner and it´s a busy time when we are trying to make the end of the year something special. Often there is little time to workout or we prefer relaxing movements. In this week's Mat & Reformer Class, we will celebrate and restore our bodies with some extra lift, breath and stretch while focusing on all rotation exercises.

Props Mat: Theraband
No props needed on Reformer (just Box, Pad)

All IS CALM, ALL IS BRIGHT AS A STAR

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Sometimes when an exercise is challenging, we get a sense of panic in our body, and we rush through it. In this work out, we’ll see how our side body can help us through challenging movement to calm us down and and help us lean into our strength. We’ll even find a few star shapes along the way.

Mat: Magic Circle
Reformer: Rod/ pole/ swifter handle

See you in class,
Megan

PLANK YOU VERY MUCH!

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

After the holidays we can be left feeling like it's been a while since we've moved our bodies. If it's cold where you are then your shoulders are even more forward. And, if the end of the year is at all stressful for you, then hello shoulders in your ears.

This month we are going to explore our "Achy Breaky Hearts." Focusing on extension, tall back, amazing posture and also if we can get our hearts open without over arching.

Mat - Bolster and light weights
Reformer - Theraband/Pole
Tower/Cadillac - no props
Wunda Chair - no props

See ya in class,

ROCKING AROUND THE 🎄

Online Mat, Reformer, Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

What do Rolling Like A Ball, Tendon Stretch, Teaser, Up Stretch, Pull Up, Swan-Dive, Open Leg Rocker, Flying Eagle, Short Spine, Boomerang, and Snake have in common???

They all help us build strength and allow us to explore connections in our bodies to do Around the Clock and Rocking!!

Around the Clock helps to ignite a fire in our center and continues to warm us up as we rock and stretch, rock and stretch, rock and stretch until we’ve made a full circle (clock)…and back. It’s a fun and challenging exercise.

Rocking requires us to be warm, maybe even HOT, all the way through our bodies so we can create our best and biggest extension before we start to move (rock). It’s a very empowering exercise, but it is also quite challenging.

Your OPC teachers have ALL MONTH LONG to help you find strength, connections, and flexibility to see if you can improve throughout the month. Even if you’ve never tried these exercises, see what you can do at the beginning of the month, and then check in with yourself (and us) halfway through. There will be plenty for you to explore and try during each workout, but if you find yourself questioning anything, we’ll be here to help you out! Just send in a FFF

Let's rock, rock, rock...around that Christmas tree!

No props needed.

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

UP, UP, & AWAY

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

We are all going to feel like Super Humans after this month!!

Whenever I’m in a hard exercise (for me) where I’m holding myself up with my arms and reaching my legs away I picture myself with super human strength!!! I can do ANYTHING! It makes me smile and helps me stay STRONG.

This month our exercise is Up Stretch and when you think about it - reaching your legs away and staying strong over the carriage may feel a lot like flying!

We’ll be focusing on stabilizing our strong cores while staying equally balanced in our arms and legs. We are giving you some amazing building blocks by merging strength and stretch in all directions. You are going to get a little bit of everything that you can use to connect to your Up Stretch (and even your Roll Up and Knee Stretches Off).

Chair: Please have a foam roller and a balance pad available. We are going to challenge your balance safely.
