Building towards a Reformer teaser starts with strong foundations. Beginning with simple core control and supported movements helps develop coordination, stability, and awareness through the trunk. As confidence improves, progressions can gradually challenge balance and control through a larger range of motion. 💪✨

This progression moves from beginner level preparation through to more advanced teaser variations on the Reformer. Each stage focuses on controlled movement, steady breathing, and smooth transitions to help develop strength and mobility across the whole body. Consistency and patience are key when building these Pilates skills. 🙌⚡

Lateral knee discomfort linked to ITB syndrome is often managed with a focus on hip strength, control, and load management. Targeted exercises can help support better alignment and efficiency through the lower limb during running, gym training, and everyday movement 🦵🏃‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

Exercises and Progressions:
Standing banded abduction -> Lateral band steps
Clams -> Banded clams
Bridges -> Weighted hip thrusts
Lateral step downs -> Increasing step height
Single leg squats -> Lowering the chair height.

Adding a modified Thomas stretch and foam rolling for the ITB region can complement the strength work 🧘‍♂️💥🎯🔥

For dancers working on improving turnout, extension, arabesque and overall movement control, targeted strength and coordination work can make a big difference 🩰

This Clinical Pilates session uses the split pedal chair and the Precision Rotator Disc to guide controlled hip rotation, stability through the trunk and smooth coordination through the lower body. The focus is on building strength, control and body awareness that can support dance technique both in class and on stage ✨💪🌀

Foam roller sitting in the corner? Time to put it to work and save this for your next session 🧘‍♀️💥

Angels to open through the upper body, toe taps for core control, elevated bridges to fire up the glutes, side crunch for oblique strength and hamstring sliders to challenge the back of the legs. A simple combo that supports strength, stability and smooth movement patterns 💫🏃‍♂️

Welcome to Part 2 of the Hill to Harbour Prep series - let’s prepare for that uphill portion of the course to Strzelecki Lookout! Uphill running places higher demands on the hamstrings, hip flexors and calves to produce that hip drive and forward propulsion.💪

Here are some great strength exercises to integrate into your training to target these muscle groups:
🌟Calves: Single leg calf raises on a step (1s up, 4s lower)
🌟Hip flexors: Banded hip flexor drive into triple extension
🌟Hamstrings: Single leg RDLs
🌟Glutes/achilles: Side step ups

Want to practise your Pilates at home? 🏠✨ You can take your favourite movements off the reformer and onto the mat with just a little space and focus.

Arabesque lunge, scooter, knee tucks and plank to pike can all be adapted to floor based versions that challenge strength, balance and control.✨

Home practice is a great way to build confidence with technique and stay consistent between studio sessions. Small, regular sessions add up over time. 🙌🏼🤍

Reformer hand in strap series focused on upper body strength and core control 💪✨ ✨ Shoulder abduction, frontal pull downs, tricep extensions and double arm openings challenge shoulder stability while building strength through the chest, triceps and upper back.

Adding hundreds with optional leg extensions increases core stability and encourages coordination between the upper body and lower limbs. Using 1 to 2 heavy springs provides steady resistance to support controlled, consistent movement. ✨ ✨
