PILATES FOR BEGINNERS 2 - pilates hundreds, roll-up & single leg stretch explained

This video is all about the foundations of pilates, as we go through some of the exercises Joseph Pilates used in his method, "contrology," to build strength, improve posture, and enhance awareness throughout the body. There are many versions of these pilates exercises, but I am going to teach you the original versions. In each exercise, I explain the alignment, breath, and core engagement. I am offering you options for everything that we do, so always choose the best option for you, one where you can focus on core control, rather than just pushing through without any awareness in your body. All of the explanations are there to prepare you for the future videos so that you´ll know what I mean when I mention "pull your legs towards your body", "find your c-curve," or "stabilize through the pelvis."
