In Pilates, we focus on the abdominals so much but forget about how important the back is to support good abdominal strength. In fact, learning how to utilize your back and chest will automatically allow your abdominals to work more efficiently. In this 3 hour workshops we will explore how to use our chest and backs to give us the support we need to better find strength in our abdominals. Of course, breathing is a big part of it. We will look at a few different bodies on a few different apparatus and explore how this benefits them for better uniform development and strength.
