This is the ultimate confidence builder of all the Pilates classes. Feel strong, feel good, oh yehhhh!

Alignment notes

Struggling with the standing balance? Hold onto a chair or the wall with the opposite hand (so if you’re moving the left leg, hold onto a chair with your right hand). With lunges, make sure your feet are on train tracks/hip width, not one behind the other. Make sure your stance is long enough so you create 90° angles with both your knees.
