Tendon Stretch Series: Part 2

How to build confidence and control off the Reformer 💪

Tendon stretch is an exercise that can often feel intimidating and we get it.

There’s the balance to consider, which becomes even more challenging when your arms are reaching behind you. It also demands a deep connection to your powerhouse which is why it’s so important to build up to this exercise gradually. 🙏🏼

In this video, our wonderful teacher Emily demonstrates how to use the Wall Unit frame to practice balance and activate those stabilising muscles that make all the difference once you return to the Reformer.

This is the bridge that can help you from feeling fearful to fearless ☺️

Finding support, strength, and awareness in other parts of the studio helps your body truly understand the movement, and that’s exactly what makes the Pilates system so magical and endlessly fascinating for both the client and teacher.

I love finding new ways for us to get stronger and more connected to exercises we find challenging. That’s why learning Classical Pilates as a system can never, EVER get boring. It constantly stimulates both the brain and body.

Next week, we’ll show another piece of apparatus to continue building the strength and control needed to take everything we’ve learned back to the Reformer. 💪🏼

I hope you find these breakdowns helpful 🫶🏼

A breakthrough moment ✨

There’s a special kind of magic in getting somewhere you’ve never been; not because the shape is impressive, but because of everything it took to arrive there.

In Thigh Stretch, the beauty isn’t in the final extension, it’s in what you connect to along the way.

The Breath. The Butt. The Patience. The Intention.

This weekend wasn’t just about learning exercises. It was about guiding our apprentices to move with purpose and integrity, and to trust the journey more than the shape.

In Pilates strength never comes from chasing shapes.
 It comes from moving with awareness and integrity. 🙏🏼

We are always so touched when our clients take the time to leave reviews for our studios and teachers.

Here are just a couple that have made us smile recently that we wanted to share 🫶

The Tendon Stretch ✨

This exercise isn’t just about flexibility or “getting your heels down.” It’s a whole-body connection.
 An opportunity to explore how breath, control, lift and length all work together. 🙏🏼

On the Reformer, Tendon Stretch reveals how evenly you can load through the feet,connect through the legs, and lift up out of your centre.

This week, I’m cueing my fabulous teacher Emily to refine her movement. To find that deeper internal connection rather than following the rhythm (which is also important in this exercise)

We slowed it down… To feel and to move from a place of true inner strength 💪🏼 the kind that builds that internal heat 🔥 or shower 🚿 as Joseph Pilates called it.

Over the next two weeks I’ll share how we continued to build on this, exploring Tendon Stretch through other apparatus,new cues and subtle shifts to find even greater connection.

Keep your eyes peeled next week for where else we explore another deeper intention of Tendon stretch.

If you’ve ever felt wobbly or unsure in Tendon Stretch, the Wunda Chair might just be your missing link.

In this final part of our Tendon Stretch series, we’ve taken the movement to the Chair, one of my favourite pieces of apparatus for truly waking up the body. 💪🏼

Here, we’re playing with different parts of the foot to target and strengthen specific areas of the leg and centre as well as balance.

The feedback you get from the Chair is instant, it shows you exactly where you’re connected and where you need more control.

This work fires up all the right muscles that support the powerhouse, helping you find even more strength, stability and precision when you take the exercise back to the Reformer.

It’s another amazing example of how every piece in the Classical Pilates system connects and supports the other, guiding the body to move with more intelligence, awareness and flow. ✨
