Pilates Push Through and Thai Massage release
We increase the rotation of the shoulders by stretching with the push through bar. We focus our work on lower back muscles , spinal flexion, hamstring stretch and we relax the trapeze muscles. We finish up with two nice gentle thai massage stretches to enhance the feeling of opening on these areas described above.
Thai massage stretches on the trapeze are an adaptation of the traditional Thai massage technique performed on a mat. I find that these modifications help my clients to leave the session with a feeling of elasticity, lightness, freedom and energy.
In this section I am working with my client Katie. in this video we show you the last two exercises before the end of the class.
Katie is an advance student who has been working with me for over eight years
