Fun AND hard....wow that's true of the magic circle for sure! What's the tip you took away and used with your clients?
Great Clare) The Circle is just unpredictable:)

What do you mean by unpredictable? Do you mean it's unruly with certain exercises? Or requires more control for the user?
Unpredictable .... meaning .... you never know how it "behaves"; it checks out you stabilisation, your sense of balance. your coordination .... 🙂
You asked me what was the tip that I took away from and applied? I am working with a client who recently had a hysterectomy and reconnecting the lower abdominal muscles are what we are focusing on. The very first series of the knees bending and squeezing of the circle as straightening the legs was the ONE. Really helped her find the connection.

That's the secret....the inner thigh centerline work is the gateway to the lower abs. Magic! Super happy to hear what worked and others will be too.
Thanks!
Clare I love to see more of you on Pilatesology... you are one talented teacher! thank you 🙂 Hope to see you soon!
“That’s the secret….the inner thigh centerline work is the gateway to the lower abs. Magic!” Yes! Wowza! This was a wonderful class. I actually spontaneously clapped when we finished! It was as thought provoking as it was challenging. I felt so many muscle activations and stabilizations that I hope to transfer to my regular mat and Reformer sessions. I too really enjoy your classes and hope to see more of them here at Pilates.ology. Thank you!
