    The Tiger Stretch as taught to me by Ron Fletcher. The Tiger Stretch as taught to me by Ron Fletcher. In my earliest days of Contrology (Pilates) with my disc injury at L5-S1, I had a difficult time doing simple Down Stretch, let alone Tiger Stretch. My body had a pain in lower back extension. At 57, with back healed well, I find the Tiger stretch a nourishing way to strengthen and stretch my spine. This movement is done on 1 spring, while Down Stretch is done on 2 Springs. There is much control required, so this is more of an advanced movement for clients. Make sure clients have body awareness, so that you can cue them to the bio mechanically correct position. I also find the stretch to be good for shoulders, specifically under the arms. #pilatestechnique #pilatesteachertraining #josephpilates #originalpilates #Reformer
    Strengthening the abdominals the Pilates (Controlo Strengthening the abdominals the Pilates (Contrology) Way! This High Barrel exercise strengthens the Transverse abdominus, and the lower back muscles. It’s different than Stretch Hanging which is a softer more stretchy version of this movement. The hand grip here is on the top wider rungs of the barrel, where in Stretch Hanging it’s on the second rung down. This version is a more aggressive movement to build strength while Stretch Hanging is more for stretching the lower Andominals and Hip Flexors. Work the body up to this movement, do Stretch Hanging first to get the right amount of thoracic extension in order to do this version. #pilatestechnique #originalpilates #josephpilates #highbarrel #archivalpilates
    Lymph massage is a big part of Mr. Pilates Control Lymph massage is a big part of Mr. Pilates Contrology exercises. This archival Pedi-pole exercise helps to massage the lymph nodes in the armpit, chest and front of the neck by the collar bone; notice the internal rotation of the arm, then the lift of the shoulders, and opening of the chest. Both Romana and Ron Fletcher always said the Pedi-pole was great for people who had breast cancer. I use this exercise on my clients who’ve had breast cancer, they have no edema in their arms, even when many lymph nodes have been removed. Mr Pilates just simply understood how the body worked, not just muscles, but the nervous system, the Lymph System, Organs, lungs. So much more than just a gym workout. Contrology is a full body health system! #pilatestechnique #josephpilates #archivalpilates #Pedipole #originalpilates
    Mr Pilates included the Standing Footwork in his b Mr Pilates included the Standing Footwork in his big group Mat classes. He would often refer to the Mechanism of the Human Body, and what it is capable of doing naturally. This particular movement is difficult at all ages, I’ve given this movement to elementary aged kids, dancers, athletes of all types and seniors. Most find it challenging. -Use the Breath and Powerhouse to align the body for balance -Relate the movement to what you feel on the Reformer, keeping the neck lined up with the tailbone, it becomes much more doable. I remember Romana demonstrating this movement wearing Kitten heals! And Ron Fletcher demonstrating this with his big barrel chest. Both in their late 70’s, but able to do because of their alignment. Amazing! #pilatestechnique #josephpilates #archivalpilates #matpilates #originalpilates
