#Spread Eagle Pilates

Classical Pilates Traditional Ending Sequence Variation and Transitions Breathing —> Spread Eagle These rare transitions during the Traditional Ending that take timing, anticipation, and an underlying understanding of the apparatus to successfully complete. Standing in the wrong place, or forgetting a small detail will completely alter the flow and precision of the series. As we advance our practices, it can be a welcome challenge to accomplish details like these, and with time, make it look easy! Join me for the next two Mondays for my 30 minute virtual Cadillac Endings & Springs class and we’ll practice the full sequence, which includes my demonstration here. The class is from 11-11:30am EST and there’s a recording if you can’t make it. Use the 10 Pack of 30 Minute Classes for this and all my 30 minute classes weekly! Links in bio. The Cadillac I’m using in this video is Joseph Pilates’ original aluminum Cadillac from his studio at 939 8th Avenue, circa 1960’s. 📅 Shared at 7:35am 3/3/24 #classicalpilates #pilatescadillac #classicalpilatessequence #classicalpilatestransitions #archivalpilatesacadillac #originalpilatescadillac #pilatesbreathing #pilatesspreadeagle #pilatesclassico

Spread Eagle on the Chair is a great exercise to reset after a busy workday 🤍 It’s a reminder that Pilates is about moving mindfully, restoring balance, reconnecting with your body, and finishing your day feeling better than you started✨ This is one of my favorite exercises to end the day. It’s a powerful way to unwind while staying in control and maintaining awareness throughout the entire body. Why I love it: • Encourages spinal articulation and length • Releases tension in the hips and lower back • Challenges control through flexion → extension • Feels grounding and gently energizing Main muscles working: • Deep abdominals (transversus abdominis) • Spinal extensors & flexors • Glutes & hamstrings • Hip flexors • Scapular stabilizers & shoulder support #pilates #pilatesinstructor #chairpilates #mindfulmovement #mindbodyconnection #contrology #toronto

quintessential spread eagle with pull ups to spice things up🌶️💪🦅 #pilates #pilatescadillac #필라테스

If you want to strengthen your posterior chain or improve scapular stability, try Spread eagle on Stability chair.(Scapula warm up is a MUST before starting) Begin with heavier springs for multiple reps then gradually lighten the springs to challenge yourself. 상하체 후면을 강화하고 싶은 분, 견갑 안정화가 필요한 사람이라면 이 동작 시도해보세요. (견갑골 준비운동은 선택 아닌 필수) 스프링을 무겁게 걸어 여러 번 시도해본 후, 점차 가볍게 하며 챌린지! :) 如果你想強化後鏈力量，或需要提高肩胛穩定性，可以試試這個動作。（開始前一定要做好肩胛預備動作！） 先用較重的彈簧多做幾組，熟悉之後再逐漸減輕彈簧增加挑戰💪 #fonvpilates #pilates #fonv #pilatesgirls #shanghai #shanghaipilates #pilateschair

Spread eagle isn’t about how far you go, but how much control you keep, This is NOT about being flexible Progression 1 → 3 means more stability, not more force. Control first. Always🫶 . . . #pilatesjakartautara #pilatescadilac #spreadeaglepilates #pilates101 #pilatesstability

‘Spread Eagle’ 몇번했을까? 이건 솔직히... 쉽지 않아요.🤣 저도 처음엔 어려웠어요.!! ‘에이 안되겠지’ 하지말고, 저장하고 도전 한번 해보세요💡 캐딜락 위에서 매달리고 버티고, 흐름을 잇는다는 건 단순히 근력만으로 되는 게 아니더라고요.!!! ⠀ 중심을 잃지 않는 연습, 흐름을 놓치지 않는 집중, 그리고 포기하지 않는 마음까지. ⠀ 그래서 더 해내고 싶었어요.🌱 ⠀ 이번 영상은 제가 요즘 가장 애정하는 흐름 중 하나예요. 1분정도 행잉이 계속 되는 연결 동작이지라 난이도는 꽤 있지만, 그만큼 몸이 깊게 반응해주고, 한 동작 한 동작이 나를 단단하게 만들어주는 걸 느껴요.🤍 ⠀ 영상 저장해두고 천천히 도전해보세요.💡 한 번에 안 되면 어때요? 필라테스는, 결국 ’나와 마주하는 시간‘이니까요.☀️ ⠀ 버티는 힘도, 흐름도, 결국 차곡차곡 쌓이는 거니까. 이번 행잉 챌린지도 응원할게요🩷

Modern × Classical Pilates Series: Spread Eagle This exercise is rooted in classical work, thoughtfully adapted to include a low lunge stretch, inviting more space through the hips while maintaining strength, control, and intention. Tradition gives us structure; modern movement allows us to respond to the body we’re in today. Inspiration @modernpilatesmethod

The Traditional Cadillac Ending - one of my favorite endings for a class! This whole series is one I’ve worked on for years.
