Thank you for a great class, Meredith! I always avoid Swan Dive because of my back, but with the way you broke it down, I was able to try it, and I did it pretty well!...much better than I thought I even could. I'm so grateful!
Meredith-you’re my hero. You make the roll up look so graceful and effortless! I’m forever working to bring more of my (Short!) spine and thighs to the mat. What cues are you saying to yourself and muscles are you engaging to get there?
For we here at home watching from a smaller screen, a single instructor is easier to follow. This was probably the hardest routine I have taken at this site, and the easiest to follow. Thanks Meredith!
Laura are you speaking of the roll over? When the legs are overhead? If so, I'm thinking of using my abdominals to deepen my spinal curve as I bring the legs down toward the floor and my spine toward the mat. Keep in mind that flexibility is a factor here too both in the hamstrings as well as in the back. Did I answer the right question? Please let me know!
I’ve been on Pilates Anytime since the Kristi started it and as much as I try to take from different teachers I always come back to you Meredith. It’s like you’re my comfort zone. :)
