Pilates With Props

Spread the love

In Episode 12 we will be integrating the Pilates Ball.

The Pilates ball is a prop, Props allow us to deepen our understanding of where our body is in space, increase activation of isolated muscles, and a prop used right will hold us accountable like training wheels teaching us how to be in our positions more actively instead of passively. I do love the use of props because I have such a fun body with hypermobility that props have taught me how to be connected in space.

I highly recommend you grab a pilates ball and if you don’t have one you can use a rolled-up towel and use that instead.

I hope you learn a lot about your body this week, get a really good inner thigh activation and to teach yourself some new challenging things.

Practice self-care this week.

You are worth it.

Marilyn Harder is an ambassador of all things self love and self care. She holds both a Master’s Degree in Business (MBA) and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from UC Davis and well over 60 certifications in the movement and wellness industry. She has an advanced knowledge of kinesthetic movement that she acquired in her work with dysfunctional movement patterns in a 55 and older retirement community. She works primarily as a Pilates Master Trainer and has taken over 150 people through the 500 hour comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training program. Concurrently, she works as Bowenwork practitioner and a Restorative Wellness Practitioner both as additional modalities to troubleshoot healing and optimal wellness. She utilizes her education in all realms (psychology, movement, naturopathic health and nutrition) in her approach to beauty. What we put on and in our bodies matters but not nearly as much as HOW and WHY we do so. Marilyn approaches health and beauty through a triad -movement, nutrition and self care. Out of self care, self love is born. And out of self love authentic purpose, passion, and works are done. She believes that all pursuit of happiness and purpose begins by anchoring yourself spiritually and loving yourself through the eyes of God.
