If you want to have more energy then learn to carry yourself

 

No one in school ever taught us how to carry ourselves. Maybe your mama told you to sit up straight at the table, and that’s about it. In my days, it was “here’s the volleyball go and play.” If you loved your P.E. classes as I did, you know that they weren’t as educational as they are today, but they did get the job done. Did your P.E. teacher go the extra mile to teach you about connection and body awareness? Probably not, because it was not as necessary to address it then as it is today with all the crazy technologically advanced comforts which make us slowly turn into wet noodles.

Mat Pilates is the foundation of Pilates. @jeaniquepilates  

 

Young people today have way more knowledge of physical education. But still, they should learn from an early age the basics of movement, how to carry themselves and how to move the right way. Even if they decide not to continue, at least the seed is planted. 
 

The real test of understanding Pilates is to apply it in real life. It starts the moment you step outside your class and out into the world. To walk with confidence, head high, and stomach tucked in gives you an instant boost of energy. The more you move like this the better you will feel. Now you exude different energy out into the world. No one wants to mess with confident people. But to carry yourself well naturally, you need to own it. As I said before, this is a long-term journey, there’s no rush, but you have to start somewhere, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and onto 30 minutes. Build the mechanic routine in your body, and I promise that it will become a habit without knowing it. 
 

Today’s cueing is for the spine and lower tummy. It’s a level two mat. I tell you, this lower ab muscle is so lazy. We have to continue thinking about it if you want to come automatically. 

You will encounter a lot of new exercises today if your practice is only a level 1 mat. But don’t worry, in two weeks, I will be covering The Progressive Pilates sequence. You can sign up below to participate.
