As Pilates teachers, we need to be able to mirror back the body’s true center during exercises. Our clients rely on us for this. But we can also teach them to learn to find their center themselves. When a client has a hard time feeling where she is in space, a visual cue is quite helpful. That is where the equipment comes in. And in this particular exercise, the foot bar is the main tool for spacial alignment. Starting with a baseline diagnostic is a great way to get your clients to clearly see their habitual movement pattern. Taking them into and then out of that alignment is challenging and informative. The more times your clients do this, the smaller and more subtle their adjustments will have to be to find the center of the bar!
