Sarah this is so interesting, these are stretches i have never felt and it felt sometimes yummy and sometimes not. The squat at the end was a nice finish as this gave me a new way to stretch the muscles surrounding and supporting my artificial knee. Don't worry I have been stretching those muscles it for almost a year . Thank you for this, I will do this more of this to release my tightish hips a bit because I am sure i will feel it much more over time! Thank you again!
Hi Judy, Thanks for your message. I am curious how your body responds after repeating some of the stretches. Stay curious and let pleasure drive you...If it is not "yummy" step back, perhaps try a different path or try again another time. And keep me posted. xoS
Thank you Sarah. I am one of many instructors throughout our industry who wore out our bodies in 2020. In an attempt to keep my business model going and my clients motivated I managed to develop some serious hip bursitis and SI joint disfunction. As my clients slowing return to their work environments I am finding myself at doctors appointments. I am now using Pilates Anytime as a nurturing place for myself instead of always trying to craft new ideas for my clients.
Hi Catherine G, Thank you for writing. YES! I am so pleased to hear you are carving out the time to nurture yourself. We really need to "put our oxygen masks" on first. Taking care of you means you can continue to take care of others. Hugs to you.
