Hey I am Jeanique

Welcome, I am so excited that you stopped by. I love The Classical Pilates Method, and I want to share everything I have learned to inspire your practice. 

Joseph Pilates Longevity sequence 1932

 

 

Did you know that Joseph Pilates invented the longevity sequence in 1932?​

In his book, ‘Your Health’, he says, “Did you ever try to get down on the floor from a straight to a sitting position? Try it. Having trouble? Of course, you are because there is a lack of coordination.”​

Joseph Pilates believed that having strong knees, ankles, and hips is the key to performing two legs squats, one-leg squats, and cross-ankle squats with ease. According to him, adding the cross-ankle routine into your Mat Pilates workout each week can gradually improve your knee joint strength and overall longevity.​

NOTE: However, if you have bad knees, knee replacement, or hip replacement, don’t try it without the presence of a qualified teacher.​
