Stronger Than Yesterday Pilates

About this class

This is one of the older MerryBody classes. For higher quality sound and video select a newer class. All 4s and planking… two of our most favourite Pilates inspired moves! This workout is designed to strengthen your core, butt and back. Work these large muscles groups to create a strong foundation for everyday movement. Each time you do this workout, see how much stronger you feel (perhaps… stronger than yesterday!).

Alignment notes

The most common alignment issue in all 4s is when you sink into your grounded hip. Really focus on keeping your hips in alignment, parallel to the floor (except when Emma tells you to open up the hip to attitude). Be sure to squeeze both butt cheeks to help keep a solid alignment. As we always say, make the movement small to help you maintain alignment. Check out the tutorial in the Foundations for more details on getting your all 4s set up right!
