Back at it! Flying Eagle 2 from @basipilates Mentor Program is so powerful inside and out! Trying hard to reach my arms out to a T as my back extends to neutral for a nanosecond on my way up and back down! I am obviously a heavy breather when necessary—that exhale sure helped my abdominals keep me lifted and safe! This was during my break from Master 1 practice!!! 😁 #pilates #basipilates #bpa_usa #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #raelisacowitz #mybasilife #basifaculty #basifamily #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #pilatesinstructor #pilatesbody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers ##pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfit #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoff #intentionalmovement #onzieleggings #nowisnow

Happy New Year!!! Welcome 2022! This last year brought many challenges, personally and professionally. I learned more than ever to BE PRESENT and always GRATEFUL! Now is now…
This Jack Knife on @basisystems F2 Chair from @basipilates Legacy Program was out of reach for me for several years. It was the last exercise in my practice yesterday!😊If I can inspire even one person to leave their comfort zone in some way, then I am successful! #pilates #practicepracticepractice #basipilates #basisystems #raelisacowitz #bpa_usa #basilegacyprogram #mybasilife #basifamily #basifaculty #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #intentionalmovement #bewhereyouare #nowisnow

Sunday is Funday with Foot Work Long Box Sitting Series! This is from @basipilates Honors Program, part of the Legacy Program, as well as @rael_isacowitz Power of Aging Workshop! After a good warm up, this truly was a full body experience!!! Everything is working intentionally for stability, mobility, strength, and overall control of the movement! I love the incredibly powerful feeling that stays in my body and mind after a great practice session! #pilates #bodymindspirit #basilpilates #bpa_usa #basisystems® #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #raelisacowitz #practicepracticepractice #pilatesreformer #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #powerofaging #pilatesforeverybody #intentionalmovement #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #pilatesbody #strongwomen #pilatesfitness #Itsnotaboutperfection #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow #agingisaprivilege #thisissixty #onzieleggings
Happy Monday! Stability before mobility is my mantra today. I LOVE the F2 Arm Chair for so many reasons. These are just two—external and internal shoulder rotation from the Arms Sitting Side Series from @basipilates Legacy Program, also learned in the 2 day Introduction to the F2 System!

It all starts with a Pelvic Curl! Horseback Round Back on the Ladder Barrel from my practice of Day 3 @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. Those deep abdominals to left the pelvis make it all happen! #pilates #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #intentionalmovement #basipilates #basisystems #raelisacowitz #basifaculty #basifamily #basistrong #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #strongwomen #hardworkpaysoffs #onzieleggings
Soaring into 60 with this Flying Eagle 2 from @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. My practice last week was mostly from day 1, and this week I practiced day 2! So much of the work is out of my comfort zone, especially these back extension exercises. So much going on, and for me the key is using my abdominals like mad to hold my trunk up as safely as possible. A diagnosis of Stenosis several years ago put this exercise out of reach for me, and I have slowly rebuilt my support system. Some days are better than others!!!#pilates #dowhatyouthinkyoucannotdo #thisis60 #basipilates #basilegacyprogram #basisystems #raelisacowitz #basistrong #basifaculty #basifamily #powerofaging #practicepracticepractice #neverstopexploring #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforkids #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #pilatesbody #pilatesteacher #pilatesstudent #strongwomen #alwaysastudent #hardworkpaysoffs #onzieleggings #nowisnow
