    Andrea- I love this concept of the mini-workshop on a specific tricky exercise and would love to see others. Snake is particularly good because there are so many aspects to the exercise. I can’t wait to get into the studio to try these and my new and improved snake. Thank you.

      Melanie,

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments – I agree that Snake is a perfect exercise to work on in this manner – there is always one aspect for me that wants to fall apart – LOL. Let me know how the exercises work for you and if you come up with any others that helped as well. Here we go again – we only have one exercise… 😉

    Excellent and very thoughtful, Thx Andrea. Loved understanding the connectivity of movements to others exercises…gives me more context to think about during execution, not that my mind isn’t filled already during Pilates! Would love to see more of these, perhaps for my nemesis the open leg rocker =)

      Ah, the Open Leg Rocker – one of my favorites – I will take that into consideration as I would like very much to work on a video for that one…thank you! Glad you enjoyed this one on the Snake…my constant touchstone on my Pilates journey 🙂

    I would add the Semi-Circle to the list.

      Ooh, thanks for playing, laic. Tell me more about why you would choose Semi- Circle – I am curious – and I do love that exercise 🙂
