I just finished part 1 of 3 of Diane Lee’s ISM mentorship. It was amazing! Here we are enjoying ice cream after 5 very concentrated days of learning. Very much looking forward to part two in September.

I like this as a substitute for clamshell. Because everyone has a slightly different strategy for external rotation I like this version to be able to fine tune muscle engagement - especially for those who have the unfortunate habit of using TFL , lol. Cue to push the back into the bar. Lmk what you think!

Here’s the lovely Chelsa demonstrating the use of the super band to create support and traction for the low back. Great way to teach how the deep pelvic and lumbar muscles both stabilize and elongate.

Don’t save back bends for your advanced clients! With the addition of the bar this movement actually feels quite supported.

Here’s another one from our latest studio meet up-exploring more options for the roll down on the reformer tower combo. 🌀 I love the dynamic element as the box glides beneath, enhancing core initiation and facilitating spinal segmentation. Yay!

In this move the client has her foot in a leg strap (out of pic frame) which suspends it just enough for the practitioner to do a gentle yet effective manual release on the TFL. 🌈✨ Tight TFLs can throw the pelvis off balance, causing tension in the lower back and affecting the femur's positioning. 🔄 This crowd-pleaser is a Mongoose Bodyworks favorite for its transformative effects. Embrace the art of movement and alignment with us!

Unlock your hips ! Utilize leg springs attached to a tower or spring board while doing footwork on the reformer to experience a weightless sensation in your hips. 🤸‍♀️ This not only feels amazing but also targets the posterior hip, making it a go-to for clients with hypertonic hip flexors (basically everyone!) . Enjoy!
