Agnese G thanks so much for the first comment.

Awesome education, Karen!! Question: where do you introduce this in a class? I sometimes open with a bird dog series (roll down to birddog), especially when my "peak" exercise is long stretch series. Is this correct or poor thinking?

Thank you for your always incredible, thoughtful contributions!!

Karen:
I agree absolutely with you when you speak about "the set up is key" and in my experience seldom understood properly in  Pilates exercises. This is good Stuff.
Incidentally, have you a Totorial dealing specifically with trying to rehabilitate the hip joints severely affected with Osteoarthritis and avoid surgery?

Mat  Rehabilitation is a big subject.  The best things for hips, in my opinion, is to educate the movement within a painfree range of motion. This Range of Motion can be discovered in both weight bearing and non-weight bearing, keeping in mind that weight bearing is where we spend a lot of our time in daily activities. When I work with people, I don't often think "avoid" surgery, or "pro" surgery, I think the following:
Provide space for the hip joints, pelvic joints and spinal joints.
Take care of the feet
Daily movements to feel good

Thanks, Karen! Always great to hear a different take on very familiar work.

What have you found helpful in assisting folks who can't seem to get past their elbows to find the hand to shoulder connection?
