Olivia Williams Pilates

Rowing Back 2🚣🏽‍♀️ This has so many pieces, and it can be a lot initially for clients to grasp! Breaking the movement down into slow parts with verbal cueing is supportive & necessary to help students go inward to not miss the work to benefit the results of the exercise. Once this is understood with proper muscles engaged & alignment, the work deepens and flow can happen inbetween all the sequences. It’s always about the details😇 #pilates #pilatesreformer #pilatesinstructor #pilatescueing #oliviawilliamspilates #pilatesreformerexercises #tacoma
