This SWAN MODIFICATION with the forearms placed below the pelvis, is ideal for those with limited thoracic (upper-mid back) and shoulder mobility. 🦢 The first photo shows my client in a passive position and the second is active. 🦢 This move great for connecting the shoulders to the trunk, waking up the entire posterior chain. 🦢 ➡️The arrows in the second photo indicate where the energy should be directed for total body integration.⬅️ 🦢 To progress this exercise into a classical #PilatesSwan, find position 2 and then extend your arms into your back extension. (Not shown) 🦢 🔹Interested in trying Pilates? I teach one-on-one and duet sessions in Brooklyn and virtually.
