#FridayFlow time! It's amazing how adding a prop (like a ball for some extra stability work) can totally change moves that you see in every class.

Slumping in your side plank
Today's #TuesdayTip -- making the most of your side plank!
It can be tempting to slump (especially on the second side!), but don't forget to lift "up & away" using your obliques.

Turned out Passe
It's another #TuesdayTip!
There are times where we cue a parallel passΓ© -- but when moving from a second position, keep it turned out! This keeps your hips square and open.

Stretch prepostnatal
Here's a #prepostnatal #SundayStretch that's great for the pelvic floor. (And it's wonderful for everyone!)

Say hello to those inner thighs in our #FridayFlow!
(And your obliques too!)

Reformer shoulders
Today's #TuesdayTip? Get out of those shoulders!
Activate your triceps on the reformer, without relying on your traps! Draw your shoulder blades down, giving your spine a gentle squeeze. You'll feel it more along the back of your arms (exactly where you should feel it!) when you take the pressure off your neck and shoulders.

It's another #FridayFlow on the #Reformer!

Pterodactyl Arms
Turning class into Jurassic Park with pterodactyl arms?
Today's #TuesdayTip is all about finding your arm flow from first to second. Lift your elbows above your wrists, and slightly round your arms -- it will feel like you're holding a giant beach ball. (And don't forget to draw your shoulders down too!)

Flat Back
Ooooh it's another #TuesdayTip with something we see all the time...
In a flat back, let's see some tall spines! Lift from your base, grow tall in your spine, and draw your shoulders away from your ears (like your back muscles are giving your spine a hug in all directions!) This will keep your spine safe as you work your flat back position!π ππ

No weights or light weights, this routine is a great way to activate your biceps, triceps, and shoulders! πͺ πͺ πͺ

Rescue your wrists
Today's #TuesdayTip is for all of our #Fusion fans!
We love using the #TRX -- but there's no need to hang on for dear life! Keep your wrists long and relaxed when leveraging this powerful piece of equipment. You'll work the muscles that matter (and give your forearms and wrists a break too!)

Tuesday Tip on the Reformer
Today's #TuesdayTip takes us on the Reformer!
It can be fun to get the carriage moving, but you're in control (not the momentum...) The next time you try leg circles, ground your hips and only go as far as your hips say in place -- you'll feel it even more that way!
