Susan, I just saw that you have a studio in Hong Kong, how wonderful. I just got back from teaching at a conference in China. I am fascinated with the far east and all the great training now happening there - power to you.
Thx again Niedra. This was very helpful. I've just "discovered" my shoulders are very rounded after years of typing. Never too late, I guess. I appreciated this breakdown and will incorporate it with my workouts. Wendy, your groupie in Colorado
Niedra! This is an incredibly helpful video - I have a shoulder issue and scoliosis and I've been doing this tutorial first thing each morning. I have been so much more aligned in addition to my chest expanding and my shoulder feeling much looser and "dropped back and down." The trick with the ball from under the collar bone and around to the back literally releases me from pain. Can't thank you enough - its improved my pilates practice, my posture and my day to day comfort level!
Dear Michele, how lovely to read your comments and have you share how this work is benefiting you - always makes me happy. I love the restorative unravelling work, it really makes a difference. I teach around the LA area and offer classes with release work before we go into the pilates work, so just in case you ever wanted to jump in to a live class: let me know and I would add you to my mailing list for pilates around town ( niedra@spirit-moves.com)
