Mermaid Magic Pilates

About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class. You get to lay down during this Pilates inspired class. But don’t let these tiny moves fool you! It’s time to work the side body, you’ll be feeling it in no time! Oh so fun! Oh so magic!

Alignment notes

Use a folded blanket under your hip for comfort factor. During all side body movements, use the top hand to help you stay balanced. Simply place it on the ground in front of your chest. During the Thunderbolt (you’ll get it when you watch it), and oyster series, make sure your hips are stacked in alignment, one on top of the other. Use your top hand to help you balance and always remember to squeeze that booty! For the butt lifts, make sure your feet are firmly planted into the Earth and they are hip-width apart (until Emma tells you to take them out slightly). You should be able to just touch your heels with your fingertips. Squeeze the booty and hold the abs strong, this will help stabilise your lower back.
