Thank you so much for this explanation. Your cues are so helpful. I also really love the demonstration by a student rather than a teacher/advanced student. I wish PA would include more Pilates neophytes since that is a population so many of us teachers are working with. It's so useful to see what happens when a movement isn't going right and how to guide a student back on the right path.
Thank you everyone and yes Jodi - it definitely is an entirely different picture when demonstrating on the non-professional. I try to get clients in my workshops even so people can see how that goes.
Thank you Rebekah, As a Pilates for Buff Bones Instructor, I so appreciate hearing your precise anatomical details. At age 64, it allows me to internalize Pilates exercise more comfortably.
