Move of the Month…The Long Spine
This capstone exercise of the Feet In Straps Series challenges us to stabilize the torso throughout inversion to stretch the spine and strengthen the core. In this exercise, the lower abs and deep pelvic floor muscles fire to compress the abdomen while the upper abs and obliques work to roll the spine away from the carriage, with greater challenge here than the Short Spine as the legs remain extended. The “glutes” and hamstrings also face greater challenge in this long leg variation as they maintain hip extension. This is also why we always lower the headrest for inversions like Long or Short Spine.

How did you find Pilates and Pilate-ology?
I originally came to Pilates because I was looking for a workout that made me feel stronger without beating up my body. My fiancée Jen and I wanted something close to home, and we found Pilate-ology last year. It's become a consistent part of our routine and something we love doing together.
What has kept you coming back?
I love how Pilates continues to challenge me no matter how long I've been doing it. There's always something to work on, and I leave feeling stronger and better in my body without feeling totally depleted. The instructors and community at Pilate-ology are a huge part of it too. It just feels like a really good place to be.
What's your favorite thing about Pilate-ology?
Definitely the people. The instructors are amazing and somehow manage to make every class challenging while still being fun. I also love that it feels like a neighborhood studio and a real community. You walk in and actually know the people around you, which is pretty unique in LA.
Do you own a business or have any other ventures you'd like to shout out?
Yes! I recently founded knwn. It's a virtual health and wellness practice offering a more thoughtful, personalized approach to care. As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, I focus on metabolic health, peptide therapy, and helping people feel and function at their best. Learn more or book at knwnhealth.com
