Classic Pilates Start Position

Classic Pilates Start Position

MEANING:

Many floor pilates exercises can be started with this position.  

TYPES:  

Just one.

TIPS:  

It is a good idea to incorporate some common routines and sequences into a training plan.  Getting everything right and in the correct order is a mammoth task for most peoples memory.  

Dancers learn dance sequences, Karate fighters learns Katas.  The Mojoh Method teaches sequences and groupings in a way that makes overall mastery of the entire method more achievable.

DETAIL:

Lie flat on your back (on a floor mat) with knees bent so that both feet are placed comfortably on the ground.  Arms straight and on the floor to the side of you with palms face down.  The angle of each arm should be around 20° to the length of your body.  Feet should be slightly apart.  Adjust everything until you feel the most comfortable position.  This is a good pace to start for many floor Pilates exercises, but you might need to make a few small adjustments to get into the precise starting position for some exercices.
