We often talk about working one side and stretching the opposing side (like in Sideovers), Brooke Siler Pilates says it most eloquently here

🌳 Trees grow using tensional forces, pulling upward while roots anchor downward.

🌴 Branches bend with wind, storing and releasing elastic energy.

🌱 Vines lengthen by creating tension against surfaces to climb.

Movement begins with activation, not slack.

Nature responds to forces by creating tension and controlled lengthening. Pandiculation.

Creating tension, activating, reaching and releasing…that’s what creates length.

We grow through engagement.
Through strength.
Through the natural impulse to expand. 👐

Side flexion can be our reminder that length isn’t passive. It’s created through the natural rhythm of pandicular tension → activation → release.

We don’t collapse to one side to get longer on the other - we activate first.

A shortened side engaging,
a long side waking up,
both sides learning to move with strength.

Nature’s way of bending without breaking.

We are nature!
Bend, don’t break!

Pilates is so amazing!

One of Joseph Pilates most prominent clients was Roberta Peters—a renowned opera singer whose career took off in 1950 after standing in for another performer. Shortly after entering the limelight, Roberta began training at the Contrology Gymnasium with Joseph Pilates. It was here that she worked to strengthen her core and diaphragm, improving her performance and eventually landing her a spot at the impressive Metropolitan Opera.

All that being said, Pilates truly is a dynamic fitness modality that can create a transformative impact in anyone’s life—even singers!
