Movement Spotlight: Candlestick
One of the things we love about Pilates is that every exercise can be approached with strategy, support, and intention.
Here, Tiffany is working with longtime client Afigo on Candlestick, a classical Pilates inversion that combines core strength, spinal mobility, shoulder stability, and full-body coordination.
Using the Cadillac crossbar as feedback and support, Afigo is able to better organize her alignment, connect more deeply to her center, and build the awareness needed to progress the movement with confidence.
At Pure Pilates, progression isn't about rushing to achieve the most advanced version of an exercise. It's about building the strength, control, and understanding that allow movement to develop naturally over time.
Beautiful work, Afigo! ✨
