What is the purpose of Spine Stretch? Have you ever wondered why I am doing this exercise during Pilates? I encourage these questions among my class and clients. Sometimes an exercise can feel silly but when you know the goal behind it, it has a purpose. You understand it better and are able to embody it more.
The purpose of Spine Stretch includes:
- Spinal flexion
- Breathing
- Prep for other exercises in the mat such as Roll Over and Open Leg Rocker.
I explain these along with tips to improve your Spine Stretch in this video.
