How to do the corkscrew Pilates exercise

The corkscrew Pilates exercise has many variations. Each one of them when you practice will get you closer to the most advanced version. And the key to understanding how it all knits together is too to concentrate. Concentration is one of the Pilates principles.
.
Once you start to concentrate on the skills needed to achieve any new exercise that you add to your practice, you will feel more confident in your ability to activate the right muscles..
.
That’s why today, we’re bringing attention to the body parts that need to connect for you to be able to move towards the corkscrew.
.
Let me know If you tried the video today and thought that my cue worked for you. And if you have other cues that helped you in the past to connect to the corkscrew exercise, would you mind sharing it? I’m always looking for new ways to get new muscles to awaken. This is the best exercise to start practicing hips off, hips above the head.

Note: To be a Pilates practitioner means that you need to invest your time in understanding what’s happening in your body first.
