What happens when we take the bend out of Short Spine? 👀

Welcome to Part 2!
If the articulation of Short Spine felt amazing in your body, Long Spine offers a beautiful and challenging progression.

In the STOTT PILATES method, we build strength through intelligent layering. We take a movement you already know and add a new layer of complexity. Here is why Long Spine is a staple in our new Intermediate Series:

​🤍 The Heavier Load: Straight legs create a heavier weight for your deep abdominals to manage.

🤍 The Deep Control: As your spine melts down into the mat, you must actively use your hamstrings and glutes to resist the springs and keep your feet high.

🤍 The True Challenge: Lowering those straight legs back to the starting position requires total lumbopelvic stability.
Your core must hold your pelvis perfectly neutral to support your lower back.
Understanding these mechanics is exactly what we teach at MoveWell.
We want you to understand the purpose behind every single movement.

🤍 Are you controlling the springs, or are the springs controlling you? 👀

​Short Spine is so much more than an amazing stretch. It is a beautiful practice in deep core control. Before we introduce our new Intermediate Series at MoveWell, we want to ensure you feel deeply connected to the foundational movements from the STOTT PILATES repertoire.

Here is a breakdown of the mechanics:

✨ Spinal Articulation: Peeling the spine up and melting it down bone by bone

✨ Deep Core Connection: Using your abdominals to lift the hips rather than relying on momentum.

✨ Eccentric Control: Actively resisting the tension of the springs on the way down to maintain a smooth mindful return to the carriage.

​Feeling a strong connection here? Then you are ready to add a new layer of complexity with LONG SPINE.

Education is a huge part of what we do at MoveWell. 🪜📖

We’re proud to be a hub for STOTT PILATES® teacher training. If you’ve ever looked into it, you know it’s one of the most in-depth programs out there. There is a massive focus on anatomy and the science of biomechanics, so it’s much more than just learning the moves.
It’s an intensive journey, but it’s why we’re so confident in the quality of movement we share with you every day.
We are also incredibly lucky to host world-class Instructor Trainers who bring so much expertise to Kelowna. A huge thank you to Talina Barsalou for sharing your knowledge and inspiring this latest group. 🤍

While every path is unique, we love being a space where new instructors can find their footing. Whether it's through mentorship or practicing here after the course, we’re committed to helping people grow their Pilates careers in a way that feels right for them.
