Incorporating Standing Exercises into Pilates

Classical mat exercises in Pilates have you spending most of your time close to the ground, in supine, prone, side-lying, seated, and kneeling, but there isn't very much standing. I took Barre Above's Pilates Focused training to look at ways to incorporate standing exercises to challenge balance, proprioception, strength, and coordination in my mat classes!  Follow the podcast on Instagram @pilatesteachersmanual and on the web here: http://bit.ly/pilatesteachersmanual for the latest!  Be sure to subscribe to the podcast for updates, and rate and review wherever you listen!  Email [email protected] with your feedback.  Notes:  Check out upsoming Barre Above certifications here: *https://bit.ly/BarreAbovePF*  I misspoke in this episode. When discussing musicality, I say "doing the exercises with the movement" instead of "with the music." I kept going and you can figure that one out, but it's a bit confusing. I have edited the transcript to reflect what I should have said.  Support the podcast:    Boka toothpaste: 15% off of your first order! *http://bit.ly/bokaPTM*  Fabletics activewear: Get your first two pairs of leggings for $24! *http://bit.ly/fableticsPTM*   Kencko smoothies: $10 off your first purchase of this delicious, portable smoothie subscription! *http://bit.ly/kenckoPTM*  Package Free Shop zero waste shopping: $10 off your first order and go green! *https://bit.ly/packagePTM*  Ritual multivitamin: $15 off your first month of minty vitamins!
