Tips on The Hundred, Roll Down, Roll Over, Roll Up

Kathy Grant used to say “chest away from  the chin” when you roll down from a Roll Over. You can apply this image to other skills: In the Hundred or when you are rolling up during a Roll Down on the Cadillac you can think of “the chest running (or drawing) away from the chin.”  The accomplishment of these skills is dependent on thora-columbar flexibility by rotating around your xiphoid axis. It allows you to perform the Hundred with your head in line with gravity (and thus a released neck) and flat abdominals.   More on this topic at Pilates on Tour July 15 with Dr. Wonson and Jennifer Stacey.
