A GREAT COMBO! ARMS IN SPRINGS & STANDING SERIES ON THE APPARATUS/REFORMER.

ARMS IN SPRINGS

Drawing on this classical Pilates series with variety, spirals and some wonderful nerve flossing. Great for developing upper body strength and awareness, whilst integrating the entire body in varied positions.

Halfway through we apply some very helpful visual challenges, which may contribute to improved vestibular & cerebellum input. And perhaps improve cervical spine mobility and ease. In any case, it’s very useful to strengthen the muscles around the eye and movement training is the perfect way to implement it.

Here I’m using Elements Double Loop Straps (Small - for hands)* and I’ve attached the Elements Extensions* to the top rail of my Garuda apparatus with Elements Cuffs for Bars* to help me utilize my space and create the appropriate resistance with my springs.

STANDING SERIES

The greatest challenge in this class, will be keeping your weight placement through the supporting, standing leg. This is what determines this tutorial a Progressions level class!

Here we are moving backwards, on a moving carriage! So it’s a great way to find your stability, strength, confidence and organization in a dynamic sense. My sequence of choice for dancers, but really everyone can benefit from this one!

Here, I am on the Garuda Apparatus. You could use a barre aligned with your Reformer. Or a Reformer-Cadillac Combination.

Here I’m wearing Elastique Athletics*. With lymph-stimulating MicroPerle® tech and best-in-class compression. To reduce inflammation, improve endurance and reduce muscle fatigue.
