HEAVY BREATHER ALERT!  Progression. Prone 1, 2 and 3! I will teach the first two exercises TOMORROW @bpa_phoenix beginning the first module of @basipilates Graduate Program! My Prone 3, from the Legacy Program, is a work in progress for me—no pun intended! My intention is NOT to have that little “jump” bringing the bar up and down. Back extension and shoulder flexion are challenging and so very motivating for me!#neuromusculartraining #intentionalmovement #pilates #practicemakesprogress #practicecorrectly #basipilates #bpa_usa #raelisacowitz #basifamily #basifaculty #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesformen #pilatesforkids #pilatesforlife #pilatesbody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #thepowerofaging #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #nowisnow #thisissixtyone

Impromptu and a bit rushed demonstration of Hanging Back with Pull Up in a session yesterday with a couple of long time clients! I will film them next time!!! This back extension exercise is from @basipilates Honors Program, the fourth step in the Legacy program.  ALWAYS A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Rael says “the breath gives birth to the movement!” As you can hear while I do these last three Hanging Front, this one is a BIG BABY!  I consistently rotate the more challenging back extension exercises in my practice sessions. And I never take it for granted how much effort I need to execute them correctly for my body!!! #grateful #pilates #intentionalmovement #practicecorrectly #basimentorprogram #basipilates #rael_isacowitz #bpa_usa #basisystems #basilegacyprogram #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesforathletes #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesformen #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilateslifestyle #basiteacher #basistudent #pilatesforeverybody #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #thepowerofaging #thisissixtyone #onzieleggings

Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, joyful year ahead!!!
This Handstand on the Ladder Barrel is a continuous personal challenge and my first attempts in 2023! I am proud and determined to continue working on things that take digging deep, make me leave my comfort zone, and explore ways to get there!!!

Always REACHing! This little @basipilates exercise is so powerful and underestimated!

The process! Susan could not support herself yet while learning Control Balance from @basipilates Mat Program. Giving her assistance allowed her to feel it so she can practice safely and correctly!!!

BASI Family!!! Foundation/Mat ✅ @bpa_phoenix There is nothing sweeter for a teacher than watching a group of students, who begin as strangers with something in common,  become bonded for life before my eyes! I noticed in our first picture from a couple of weeks ago after Day 1, that we were not touching each other!!! #proudteacher #pilates #basipilates #bpa_phoenix #rael_isacowitz #basisystems #thejourneybegins

I dedicate this Jackknife on the F2 Chair to my colleague and friend @nataschaeyber @basigermany  We practiced together this morning (gotta love Zoom!) She is days away from hosting @basipilates  Master ll Program with @rael_isacowitz teaching online.  Natascha is assisting Rael live in Germany, with another incredible Principle Faculty Maria Sylla assisting Rael @bpa_usa VERY exciting!  I did have to put my saddle on and exhale a dozen times trying to keep my legs perpendicular on the way down! The creaking is NOT my body! 😉 #pilates #basilegacyprogram #rael_isacowitz #basipilates #bpa_usa #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #jackknifechallenge #intentionalmovement #practicepracticepractice #practicecorrectly #pilatesstudent #pilatesteacher #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #sixtyoneisfun #hardworkpaysoffs #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #onzieleggings #pilatesgoddessclothing
