Like the Double Leg Stretch, this exercise is an excellent example of all the Pilates principles. Also, remember that a solid and stable center is more important than having a big range of motion. Remember the word stretch in the name. Think about reaching and stretching each leg in opposition to get the most out of this exercise. Please let me know if you have any questions or need modifications or suggestions based on your own body. Enjoy!

The Double Leg Stretch is a perfect example of all the Pilates principles working together. Remember, a solid and stable center is more important than having a big range of motion. Please let me know if you have any questions or need modifications or suggestions based on your own body. Enjoy!

I use Supine Twist or Supine Spine Twist in many of my classes. It is a great way to warm up the obliques and stretch out the spine for the more challenging work coming up in the class. This is an exercise that looks easy but the details matter. Remember, keep your hips and knees stacked throughout the movement and anchor through your shoulders. A smaller range of motion is often better with this exercise. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any questions.
