Upside-Down Pilates and Nourishment with Lisa Orig

Upside-Down Pilates and Nourishment with Lisa Orig I HELP WOMEN ELIMINATE JOINT PAIN SO THEY CAN LIVE A PAIN-FREE LIFE AND BRING THEIR BODY TO A LEVEL OF STRENGTH AND CONTROL THEY NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

My Philosophy
Your brain is the most powerful “muscle” in your body! By retraining your thoughts about how your body functions you can retrain your muscles and organs to work in a more safe, efficient, and effective manner. This can lead you out of pain if you are in it or bring your body into peak physical and mental condition. Please remember, I am only a teacher. Every good teacher is obsolete

in the end. You will only get out of it what you are willing to put into it. My Mission
The mission of Upside-Down Pilates and Nourishment is to provide individuals with the knowledge, encouragement, and drive to transform and maintain a strong and supple body. In turn, leading them to a long, productive, and healthy life. Through the use of Upside-Down Pilates, anatomical knowledge, and years of research in training the body, Upside-Down Pilates strives to free people held captive in their own bodies, as well as, challenge athletes to go further than ever thought possible.

In this episode we explore the exercises hip lift verses hip roll further.

We learn how to incorporate a variety of props and pieces of equipment to help us learn and challenge our understanding of hip lifts and hip rolls. The arc barrel, foam roller, balance ball, hand weights, as well as the push thru bar, leg springs, arm springs, roll down bar from the Pilates Cadillac are all items that can inspire us for greater strength, flexibility, and endurance!

In this series of videos we explore one exercise at a time. We look at what is each exercise good for. Are there any reason not to do the exercise? We also learn many modifications for each exercise to build strength and endurance slowly over time.

The longus colli is a deep, long cervical muscle running down the front of the cervical spine (C1-T3). As a crucial stabilizer, it acts as a primary neck flexor and prevents hyperextension. Weakness can lead to neck instability, while inflammation, known as acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli, causes severe neck pain and stiffness.

So apparently there is a thing called a "Pilates girl" or a "Pilates princess". Let me share who my client base is. Intelligent, talented, women many of who are either divorced or never married. Most are over 70 years old and several are over 80. They are business owners, bankers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, psychologists, language specialists, scientists, mothers and grandmothers. Many have been doing Pilates for 20+ years. I found this article amusing! What are your thought?

"Pilates," specifically the term "Pilates girl," has entered the cultural zeitgeist. "If your girl goes to Pilates, wife her up," an influencer declared.

Don't get me started... For those of you who are my students, this is why I am the way I am. If you are taking a $20 Pilates class with 30 other students on Reformers, please stop and go find a real teacher. Pilates equipment is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. The power of this type of exercise is individualized attention and how you do the movements. Changing your neuromuscular bad habits to healthy movement patterns heals the body. Flopping around like a fish out of water or running around like a chicken with your head cut off will get you injured if not killed.

Lack of regulation for specialist classes leaves UK fitness enthusiasts at risk, say professional bodies
