Last week I posted a snippet of a few heart opening stretches using the Spine Corrector that I was surprised (yet delighted) to see gathered so many views on my Facebook Page<\/a>. Given the love for the stretches\u00a0I felt the need and importance to show a fuller, core-centered\u00a0workout that preceded the delicious stretch\u00a0itself.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Spine Corrector\u00a0does exactly what its name implies. \u00a0Facilitates support of the spine to allow open, fluid movement and articulation through each vertebrae through Pilates<\/strong> movements. \u00a0In all honesty, it was never my first choice tool of the studio for a rigorous workout, however it is an excellent piece of equipment for a delicious “dessert” ending.<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoy using the ankle weights with the support<\/em> of the spine corrector for any movement. \u00a0Hugging the abdominals to the spine and the spine to the barrel gives one a deepened powerhouse connection. \u00a0Movement away from<\/em> the Spine Corrector<\/strong>, as in any back bending movement, should be done with conscious and deliberate intention.<\/p>\n
