Dorsi flexion exercises with Pilates

Dorsi flexion exercises with Pilates – Standing foot work and Mat Level 2  

  

Hey, there, welcome. I am so excited that you stopped by. I love The Classical Pilates Method and want to share everything I have learned so far and inspire your practice. Every week I share an article and a free video. Sign up and receive free Level 2 Mat Pilates Sequence

 

As promised last week, here’s week two of increasing ankle flexion while standing.

 While self-foot massage is for next week ( I love self-foot massage🤤 ), I have added a little ankle manipulation because it helps to open some stubborn muscles. 

 

 

..organize yourself better on your feet, and the rest of your body will organize itself back @jeaniquepilates 

 

 

Grab your spike balls, magic circle, and foam roller, and let’s move from the feet 👣 up.

Pro-tip: Did you notice when the feet are the awareness of the month, you can’t help but pay attention to your feet and the way you stand and walk, even sneakily watching how your family walks?🤫 It’s not about criticizing but observing how not to fall into the wrong pattern because you are not paying attention. So organize yourself better on your feet, and the rest of your body will organize itself back! I promise. 

I have worked on my feet for 14 years now; my feet are still flat because I was born this way, but the muscles around them are much stronger. Despite living with two meniscus tears, and arthritis in my right hip, I can still do deep squats. 

Keep at it; you will see how strong your hips and lower belly will become.
