About this class
In today’s class, we focus on the c-curve, a move that not only strengthens the abs but also lengthens the spine. We LOVE c-curve so much! For c-curve, place a rolled up blanket behind the lower back for extra support. During this class our feet are flat and our legs are squeezed together, this helps to engage the lower core. Again, we take you through this set up in the class and don’t forget to breathe (back to Pilates breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth)!
Alignment notes
For C-Curve, place a rolled up blanket behind the lower back for extra support. During this class our feet are flat and our legs are squeezed together, this helps to engage the lower core. Lean as far back to feel the quiver in your abs but not so far back that your core switches off. If you feel any pain in the front of your hips, extend the legs long. Pull the belly in toward the backbone. Remember to breathe, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth!
