Position of the week - Pilates Roll-Up:

The Roll-Up is a classical Pilates mat exercise designed to strengthen the abdominals, improve spinal articulation, and increase hamstring flexibility.

How it looks:
• You begin lying flat on your back, legs extended long, arms reaching overhead.
• With control, you lift your head and arms, peeling your spine off the mat one vertebra at a time.
• You continue rolling forward until you’re in a seated position, reaching toward your toes with a rounded spine (a “C-curve”).
• Then, with the same slow control, you roll back down, articulating through the spine until you return to the starting position.

⭐ Pilates Position of the Week:

The Roll Down

The Roll Down is a classic & fundamental Pilates movement that builds spinal mobility, deep core strength, and control. It’s simple, elegant, and perfect for all levels.

• Mobilise the spine segment by segment
• Strengthen the deep abdominals
• Improve posture and alignment
• Calm the nervous system with rhythmic movement

• Stand tall with feet hip-width apart
• Knees soft, weight evenly distributed
• Arms relaxed by your sides
• Think: long spine, wide collarbones

1. Inhale to prepare, lengthening through the crown of the head.
2. Exhale and slowly nod your chin toward your chest.
3. Continue rolling down through the spine one vertebra at a time, allowing arms to hang heavy.
4. Stop where your body naturally allows (no forcing).
5. Inhale at the bottom to fill the back of your ribcage.
6. Exhale to roll back up, rebuilding the spine from tailbone to head with control.
