this class is an absolute goldmine!--a glorious way to experience the totality and global connectivity of the human form. I will be revisiting this again and again to build greater clarity with the movement. Elizabeth, thank you for your endless passion and curiosity and grace.
Thanks Elizabeth. Such a great class. I love what you have added to the PIlates world. I love that your classes make me spontaneously laugh out loud with confusion, muscle burn, and excitement as a new myofascial pathway explodes into connectivity.
A very interesting practice and a challenging one for the brain too! It's amazing to feel how even the small pressure of a thumb can facilitate a movement!
Thank you for your question Hella Maria G. In my opinion this class is not optimal for people with osteoporosis. Please choose movement that emphasizes torso extension and standing full weight bearing. Steer clear of loaded torso flexion and flexion with rotation.
I was suspicious mainly concerning the last exercises in supine (100-Variations) and sitting
( saw Variation). While the bridging variations I thought might be useful because of providing and opening space vs compression - and of course the standing variations because of balancing the forces in upright position and thus contributing to fall prevention.
I love your exercises ! But since I recently have to adapt my exercise program to the diagnosis of osteoporosis I am searching for what may stay and what I have to let go :)
What a beautiful meditation on biotensegrity! Truly brilliant. Thank you Elizabeth for this creative class that focuses our attention on fascial continuities.
