To build a strong foundation, you must first focus on the basics:

  • Identifying the core muscles
  • Learning proper body positioning – what is neutral?
  • Start to practice proper Pilates breathing
  • Learning how the spine moves – flexion, extension and rotation
  • Becoming familiar with the Reformer and how to change the springs, football and box placement.
