Core Essentials

💖 This video is of my client Jackie who is 81 years old. In this video she is doing core work on the Cadillac; Flat Back with a Rotation. Jackie is doing a wonderful job maintaining stillness in her lower body while engaging her core to move her upper body with control. She has been coming to Core Essentials for almost 17 years. Over the years she has had multiple surgeries and had even been in a car accident. She knows that she needs to keep up with her Pilates routine to maintain strength, flexibility and work on balance. In her spare time Jackie loves to garden, make food, practice yoga and also works a couple days a week. Way to go Jackie! Keep up your feisty spirit!✨

✨ This is my Pilates client Athena. She has been coming to Core Essentials Pilates Studio for a little over 16 years. Just about as long as the studio has been open. She is strong, mighty and determined. She has great shoulder blade stabilization ( shoulders are not lifting toward her ears 👍)as she performs the exercises on the chair, strong arms holding her body stable and a strong core as she lifts & lowers her legs, twists her lower body and as she opens & closes her legs. Amazing!!!!! Keep up the great work!💖

✨ This is Karen D., she has been coming to Core Essentials Pilates Studio for the past 5yrs. The exercise she is performing is one of her favorites. It is called the Corkscrew, which is being done on the Cadillac. Watch as she uses her core and total body engagement as she controls the movements while connecting with the breath. Also, she is aware of keeping her chin tucked to keep length in the neck so that it doesn't become tweaked. Beautifully done Karen D.👍💖

✨ I want to share this video of Kathy Z. because she did such a great job of control with core strength and overall body engagement while she performed the Teaser exercise on the Cadillac, as her lower and upper body moved together into a V-Shape without using force or momentum and connecting the movements with breath. Keep up the good work Kathy Z.! I believe it's time to add some extra challenges to the Teaser. I know you'll be up for it! 😉 🩷
