Is the Set-up of the Classical Pilates Matwork ..Rolling Like a Ball.. Good For YOUR Body? | 512-467-8009 | http://pilatescenterofaustin.com/vide...

Are you setting up your body with “tension” or “ease” for movement? Even though I know the Classical Pilates matwork through the advanced level, if I don’t listen to my body and instead just move from one Pilates exercise shape to another, doing it the “right way” according to a photo in a book, I don’t feel that I am helping my body to re-calibrate and unravel compensation patterns.

For instance, in the Classical Pilates advanced version of “Rolling Like a Ball”, my knees are drawn tight into my chest, and heels pulled close to my sitting bones and arms firmly hold my body tightly together. What I find in this “set-up” is that it doesn’t feel functional to MY BODY. It feels too compressive and focused just on an isolated abdominal movement, more than a fascial , whole body breathing movement. Because my purpose with my movement practice is listening to my breath and deep biointelligence guiding me in movement, what feels great is (and of course, this is happening quickly as a flow as it becomes more embodied):

Sensing weight into my sitting bones and feet (yielding to support of gravity)

Pressing my shins gently into my hands, as I roll back slightly so my tail and sitting bones round my spine in a capital “C” from head to tail (discovering relationship of Down the Back “gravity/grounding” and Up the Front, relationship with “suspension/space”)

Sensing the support of the internal connection of breath (shoulder blades waterfalling down , and internal belly lifting up – a new embodied powerhouse)

From that feeling of internal connection , the INHALE lifts my feet to roll back and the EXHALE, keeps me connected, as I roll forward to balance with feet off the mat.

This internally connected feeling is a contextual one that feeds my way of being in the world….along with assisting my transition to the next movement …with just enough effort for the movement. Keep asking yourself as you move…is my neck soft? Can I look from side to side? If you can’t, you are over-stabilizing and your neck, shoulders and back are suffering.

Is your approach to movement “relational” to what YOU need? Pilates is intended to be about flowing movement , where one gains awareness of how to help themselves. When we learn how to partner with gravity and space, rather than fight gravity with too much muscular effort…hips and backs open, necks get free, and shoulders release.

We discover, over time, that how we orient our bodies in relationship with the gravitational field, prior to an action, can create a deeply nourishing, human experience.
