Hey there, friend! Let’s dive deep into a topic that’s absolutely crucial when it comes to Pilates β alignment. Looking from the side view, “ideal alignment” includes our ear lobes lined up over shoulders, over side of hips, just in front of midline of knees, just in front of ankle bone. In a 1:1 Pilates lesson, notably during intake and again throughout sessions, your instructor should be looking at all of these points to create and adjust a plan for your body. π§πΌββοΈ You are an individual with individual needs! Private Pilates lessons aren’t cheap so make sure the instructor you are with is invested in your results not a repeated paycheck.
πΆπ½You know those moments when you catch yourself hunched over your phone or computer for what feels like forever? Guilty as charged! πββοΈ But here’s the thing β Pilates has been THE game-changer for me in terms of becoming more aware of my posture throughout the day. If you’re like me, after a Pilates lesson, it’s necessary to slightly adjust the rear view mirror after leaving the studio. Pilates is THAT good. πͺ
But let’s not stop there β alignment isn’t just about looking good while standing or sitting up straight (although that’s definitely a plus). It’s also creating ease for your body because you remove unnecessary strain on bones, joints, ligaments, and muscle. The end result is in your movements; those pesky aches and pains that come from poor posture tend to disappear. It’s like giving your body a little tune-up every time you step into the studio. π§
Who wouldn’t want that?
Pilates improves functional and structural deviations in posture to support athletic pursuits like holding a plank or every day activities like reaching down to pick up your child/grandchild.
