1. Hold leg in hip extension  have client focus on tone of gluteus medius .
2. Let go of leg. Observe if client is using just glut or going to their habit ( i.e. hip flexors, quadratus etc.)
3. Have them do leg lifts with a recuperation between each lift.  This prevents them going back to their habits.

Can you see how the Transverse Abdominus can be like your own internal Spanx?

Feeling these abs will never be like the feeling of crunches.  You need to use breath and a new awareness how to engage this.  This needs to be underlying with Pilates Exercises.

This is from a new app.  Visible Body.  It is an incredible educational tool.

Pilates for Apollonia is finding the physical core center and thereby evolving other centers on many differnet levels, and finding alignment. Rather than just performing an exercise, this becomes  a way of life. Every movement becomes enjoyable without effort – simply allowing it to happen.

Apollonia supports her clients so that they can experience more strength and awareness, the force of life and a place of quietness and feeling good in their bodies and minds.

She is certified as a Pilates teacher through the Kane School, Gyrotonics as well as being a shiatsu practioner.

Anthony Lett joins us in April teaching a workshop based on his fabulous book. Innovations in Pilates.  Seeing his book and following him on Facebook, I think that he has something new and extraordinary to offer to Pilates teachers.

Please visit his website http://www.innovationsinpilates.com.au/. Finally there is a book for professional Pilates teachers beyond just learning the repertory.  We are selling a dvd of his book at the studio, a more affordable price.  Since the book is published from Australia,  the costs of the book and shipping is expensive.  Please feel free to come by the studio to view the book.

Read this book especially if you are a teacher or client w. back issues.

You might know of Blandine’s other book,  Anatomy of Movement.  This is a brilliant book that finally addresses the poor training of abs and the possible effects of this training.  The “crunch” is poor use of the abs especially when the abs are used incorrectly and is compressing the disks.  A lot of clients know how to harden the abs and destroy the length of the spine.  Here is a book that addresses the whys and hows to correct training.

Great points of the book

• Alternately stretch and strengthen abs
• Coordinate w. breath
• Risks to the pelvic floor, disks and wall
