Hips!

Hey All!
We have been working the last week and a half on Hips. We'll continue that for the rest of this week, and we might even work on Hips for another week. Please concentrate on stretching deep into your femur/hip socket- and also on stretching your lower back/upper hip attachment.


I have also been talking about pressing the balls of your feet into the floor. This is the meaty pad below you big toe and runs across your foot to below your pinky toe.


THE SNAKE- we have also been working on the snake- a down dog/ up dog combination. Nice work so far- keep it up!

NEW CLASS IN HUDSON ON SATURDAYS

If you attend the Hudson Health and Fitness Pilates class, you know that we have run out of room! Good News:

We are adding a new class on Saturdays- The two classes will be at 9:30 and 10:30 respectively, and the class will be slightly shorter 45 (probably 50) min. On Saturday, we'll kind of take stock and see who plans on coming when.

This Starts next week- 4/12

Classic Mat Routine

Hey All! This past week was a "test." Everyone performed the classic mat routine- You all did very well, and different classes need to work on different postures/positions. I use this test to direct our workshops. The first thing I think we will be working on is:

Scapular Retraction

- that's on the agenda for this week
