Head moves in the beginning are so much better than these big head rolls and swings that instructors show to loosen up tight necks. Adding conscious breathing makes it easier for the client.
I absolutely LOVE that a class on PA was demonstrated with someone who has less flexibility than "the average superstar pilates instructor." Modifications and mat height and etc are key and well demo'd and cued. I relate to this student's body very personally, so it's great to see it acknowledged given most instructors seem to be surprised by my mods for myself. I love helping students of similar flexibility find their pilates practice and am grateful to Ms. Ross-Nash for this flow.
Kristin- thank you! I agree, which is one reason I wanted to document this. I teach"REAL" clients.... have for over 30 years. It is how we really learn to understand the depth of this work. teaching the same students over and over and learning to apply the method to progress.
