Watched this last night and knew it would be great for today since I did a kettlebell class yesterday. Perfect, invigorating, yet loosened a lot in my body. I have a ways to go with mobility in both shoulders and legs but can already see how this would gradually loosen me up. I’m putting it into a regular rotation for myself. Thanks for filming it! I get a lot out of your classes.
Wonderful class and subtle cues. Loved the micro movements which flowed into bigger movements, with varying pace and flow. The pumping segments I believe are great to stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory systems within the body- which I guess is the goal of the name of the class, to hydrate and lubricate the tissues and joints. Thanks for offering this class on Pilates Anytime- look forward to more "hydrating" classes.
Catherine M Thank you. You are spot on - these movements stimulate the lymphatic system while also creating the pump for fluids into and around cells. So it's a win every which way - lymph flushing, circulation and tissue hydration! 🥳 I have a Reformer Hydration class coming out soon on Pilates Anytime that I hope you'll like too. Thanks again for taking the class and your message.
Thanks Sally for sharing your thoughts and for offering new, innovative class themes and areas of focus! I look forward to the upcoming Reformer Hydration class!
I enjoyed this mobility workout. I feel energized. I suppose pumping is a way to activate blood flow as well as lymphatic flow. Why twisting is hydrating by nature? Is it its action on blood flow?
