Reformer Workout - Join Amy for this level 2 Reformer workout as she creatively incorporates some Mat pieces layering them onto the Reformer for "variations on the theme". Pieces like Double Leg Stretch, Single Leg Stretch, Criss Cross are all put in with attention to deep scapular connection as well as some Upper Back Extension with Shoulder External Rotation. Other exercises include Side Lying Legwork and Feet in Straps, Kneeling Side Kicks and Single Leg Kick. Amy also offers traditional pieces like Kneeling Arm work, Thigh Stretch, Short Spine (from the Diamond position), Cleopatra/Mermaid, Oblique Side Overs and Control Front (variation). This full body workout is a perfect balance of strength work plus complimentary stretches. Enjoy! (Filmed September 08, 2011)

Monica Mamma mia ! Thanks Amy it's a such wonderful class. I'm Polestar teacher and really love your verbal cues . You usually don't use imagery cues don't you? And, In sidelyng position the bottom ribs are totally on the carriage , not space. isn't? Grazie infinite Monica 7 mos ago |

Loretta Wang Amy, thank you for this great workout. It definitely a great program to work shoulder stability and strength. (local stabilizer .....global..). I like you use cue of thumbs direction. I also like the way you work on hip opener. Thank you for sharing/teaching this great workout. I hope that you will teach more classes like this on PA. 7 mos ago |

Shari Scruton Amazing class! After an intense 1.5 hour long soccer match yesterday, this workout really opened up and realigned my entire lower body while stabilized and strengthened my upper body. Thank you; I haven't felt this balanced in a long time... 7 mos ago |

Amy Havens Thank you so much everyone! All of your feedback and comments are so valuable to me and I truly appreciate them. Monica, I do like using visual imagery.......I guess in that class I didn't use so much of that. I often visualize in my own mind, but perhaps the cues aren't coming out verbally! No, I wasn't lifing the ribs off the Mat in the side-lying position in this class. Because I was going for a larger range of motion in the hip, I was allowing the ribs to stay down. My pelvis wasn't completely 'stacked' either, intentionally. Luissa.....I do try always to tell which spring I'm using, yes, very helpful to know!! Glad the thumb direction cue was helpful Loretta and Pele...thank you...I will plan to do more classes at this pace for PA. Thank you Jamie! I always enjoy hearing from you. Shari...so glad your felt so realigned and balanced after taking this class...what a nice compliment. 7 mos ago |
