Mat Workout - Amy challenges you with this 30 minute ball class offering you a few new exercises to your ball repertoire. She sets the intention of moving slowly through this class following the Pilates principle of control. Starting with breathing and basic abdominal movements, she moves into hamstring and glut work that will grab your attention with a single leg passe developed pattern and diamond bridging/moving bridges. She progresses into more balance and pelvic stability patterns with 'walking out' giving you time to feel your hip extensors at work. Latissumus stretches are a nice break before the knees on the ball ab work including skier and arabesque. A delicious hip flexor stretch and ball balance conclude this fun ball workout. Enjoy!

thought I had seen it all with the ball....looove the "cleopatra" - new to me. Also enjoyed the arabesque. The slow & deliberate pace of the bridge sequence was awesome. The push off with the swan will definitely be featured in my next Pilates with the SB! Thank you so much
