Authentic Joe Pilates The Headstand

A very challenging exercise on the reformer. Teaching the Headstand in the beginning starts with being a good spot.

To assist in the placement and making sure they don’t loose balance.

This exercise takes a lot of Strength, Control and Balance. Along with good hands on spotting.

Joe taught headstand to build:
• spinal length
• shoulder strength
• total body control

Teaching tip:
Don’t kick up.

Most people kick into a headstand on the Reformer.

That’s the mistake.

Joe Pilates wanted CONTROL, not momentum.

Stack the shoulders, then float the legs up.

That control is what Joe was after.

Joe’s original Head Front exercise is slightly different then what we do today. Please remember that this exercise isn’t for everyone. So be careful.
It’s a neck strengthening exercise.
