Shoulder Bridge One Leg Circle is a variation of the original Pilates exercise Shoulder Bridge.  Circling the extended leg challenges the core as deep muscles of the spine stabilize against the circular movement of the leg. You'll also tone the gluteal muscles and flatten the abdominals while you strengthen your core.  If you are having trouble keeping the pelvis still, spread your arms wider on the mat to create a larger base of support, find the place where you can stabilize, and then challenge yourself by bringing the arms closer to your sides.

At any Pilates studio, one of the favorite Pilates exercises will always be The Teaser, which can be done on the mat and all equipment, including the Pilates reformer. Little do many people know that a great precursor to The Teaser is the Open Leg Rocker Balance, a variation of the classical Pilates exercise. At Pilates on Fifth, our NYC Pilates studio, we use Open Leg Rocker Balance to teach our clients to differentiate the spinal shape between the Pilates exercises Rolling Like a Ball and Open Leg Rocker. More importantly, however, learning and understanding the difference in spinal shape of these two exercises makes mastering The Teaser on the Pilates reformer much more manageable! At our Pilates studio, in our NYC Pilates Reformer classes we often teach our students The Teaser, and we use the Open Leg Rocker Balance exercise to assist. The combination of these two Pilates exercises is an excellent recipe that makes the job of the Pilates instructor easier and allows the Pilates performer to have much more success with one of the more difficult Pilates exercises. If you love the Pilates reformer but are often tackled by The Teaser, we highly recommend that you try this Pilates exercise.

Pilates mat exercises, ones that bring the body into lateral flexion (side bending) are relatively few, especially when compared to the Pilates exercises that flex the spine. That’s why we love the Side Bend and always include this Pilates exercise in our advanced Pilates classes at our Pilates studio in NYC, Pilates on Fifth. The Side Bend is one of those fabulous Pilates mat exercises that works so many muscle groups simultaneously, which is why it is a more advanced Pilates exercise. Moreover, we get to work the arms!! Many people who are trying Pilates for the first time and come to our Pilates studio often think that Pilates mat exercises only work the abs. Well, once they try the Side Bend, they know that there is much more to advanced Pilates then just abs! Because there are many muscle groups working in the Side Bend (which can often lead to brain overload), we find at our Pilates studio that this is one of the more difficult Pilates mat exercises to teach students to do correctly. First and foremost, the muscles of the legs have to work in concert to lift the body up in a half moon shape without folding at the hips or losing one’s balance. It is this balance maintenance while performing maximum lateral flexion (side bending that makes the Side Bend an advanced Pilates mat exercise.

But many complain that there aren’t enough ... Mat Pilates is one of the best ways to sculpt rock hard abdominals and long, lean muscles. But many complain that there aren’t enough arm and shoulder exercises in a mat Pilates class. Look no further! The Pilates exercise Side Plank strengthens the core and strengthens the muscles surrounding the shoulder – a great combination for both Pilates and yoga enthusiasts! If you do Pilates and yoga, then you have probably also done a lot of planks! The side plank is actually a derivation of the Pilates exercise Side Bend, very popular in mat Pilates classes. At our New York City Pilates studio, Pilates on Fifth, we have discovered in our ten years of business that in a traditional mat Pilates class, no Pilates exercise prepares the Pilates performer to support the weight of the body on one arm before they get to the Side Bend. Now, if they’ve been doing Pilates and Yoga for a while, then they have developed the strength from poses such as “Vashistasana” (Side Plank). Pilates and yoga both require strong arms and shoulders, though in mat Pilates, this requirement is not as obvious. Pilates on the equipment is usually where Pilates practitioners turn for arm strengthening Pilates exercises, but in our Pilates training program, we teach students that by incorporating a Pilates exercise such as Side Plank into a Pilates workout, you’ll have strong arms and shoulders in no time!
