Up Back Extension from @basipilates Legacy Program.

Master 1 anyone? I am beyond honored, thrilled and excited to be at bpa_usa in March as a Legacy Faculty Assistant! Don’t miss @rael_isacowitz teaching and sharing his lifetime of work! We will dive deeper on this “Quest for Mastery!” #pilates #basipilates #bpa_usa #raelisacowitz #basisystems #mybasilife #mybasijourney #basilegacyprogram #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #basiteacher #basistudent #pilatesinstructor #practicepracticepractice #hardworkpaysoffs #nowisnow
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

Hello 2022!!! What an amazing weekend it was @bpa_usa teaching the first two modules of @basipilates Foundation Program with @saori_pilates assisting! We welcomed this GREAT group of eager students to the BASI family as they began their BASI journeys! I am so honored and humbled to be a part of it!

My “Wundachair Wednesday” included this Teaser Rotation from @basipilates Legacy program! As it says on the wall behind me—Do What You Think You Cannot Do! Eleanor Roosevelt may not have meant that regarding Pilates, yet I live by her words daily!

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

Teaser Tuesday! Hope I’m not too late for @bpa_usa Teaser Challenge on the Spine Corrector! My Teaser Prep from @basipilates Comprehensive Progam felt GREAT this morning!!!

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
There is a reason for the Prep!!! When my body is ready, willing and able…Hanging Front from @basipilates Mentor Program, part of the Legacy Program. It is not simply about strength! After several Preps on each side, I could manage a couple of the full exercise. YEARS of working on this one!
Some days are better than others.

Friday practice—taking my time to get to this one! Up Stretch 2 with Trapeze from @basipilates Honors Program, the fourth step in the Legacy Program! After completing the inaugural Honors in 2019, repeating it in June 2021, I am slowly making my way through the exercises that I either haven’t tried yet, don’t need a “spotter” for, or haven’t succeeded with so far! #mybasijourney #pilates #basilpilates #basilegacyprogram #raelisacowitz #basisystems #basifamily #basifaculty #basistrong #practicepracticepractice #strongwomen #neverstopexploring #pilatesbody #pilatesforathletes #pilatesformen #pilatesfirkids #pilatesfordancers #pilatesforswimmers #pilatesforeverybody #pilatesfitness #itsnotaboutperfection #intentionalmovement #nowisnow #hardworkpaysoffs #swearisrael #trainingforsixty
