@pilates.by.cat: Save for your next Pilates class ✨ I’ve spent over 20 years teaching Pilates in person, working hands-on with thousands of clients, and this is one of the most common mistakes I see with new clients. Often, they’ve simply never been shown where to place the ball. 🤍 Placing it too high under your lower back can create pressure and discomfort. For this exercise, move it under your sacrum, the broad bony area at the back of your pelvis, just above your tailbone. Try these little adjustments: ✨ Let your sacrum settle into the ball ✨ Find a comfortable, neutral pelvis ✨ Keep your ribs gently connected ✨ Exhale and gently draw your lower abdominals inward ✨ Keep breathing as you hold that connection This helps you practise engaging your deep abdominals, including your transverse abdominis (TA). Its fibres wrap horizontally around your midsection like a corset. When it contracts, it helps draw your abdominal wall inward and supports your pelvis and spine. ✨ Have a gentle practice at home with your Pilates ball, starting with both feet on the mat. Small adjustments can make such a difference to how an exercise feels. 🤍 Save this for your next class and follow for Pilates guidance built on decades of teaching real clients in person. ✨ #Pilates #PilatesEducation #DeepCore #PilatesBall
