Pilates with Self-Touch Cues

Talese would love you to join her in this Move video for a 20-minute workout, featuring self-touch cues you can teach your clients in virtual or in-person sessions. These self-touch cues have 3 purposes:

  • to increase body awareness (empowering your client to self-correct their alignment)

  • to deepen muscle activation (and why not learn a little anatomy while you’re at it?)

  • to create resistance (so your client can feel the stabilizing and strengthening forces at work in their own body)

This is just a fancy way to say, your client will feel smart and powerful in their movement practice, and they’ll get more out of it. (Bingo!)

The workout focuses on the pelvis and lumbar spine as we move through exercises in prone, side-lying, kneeling, and standing positions.

No props needed, just roll out your mat!
