Happy Sunday Everyone!
The weather is changing and it's time to "Squeeze Out The Juice" as one of my favorite teachers used to quote (from Joe) during twisting exercises on the Mat.
Twisting your spine while lengthening and pulling your legs tightly into the body are some of the best ways to create more space between your vertebrae and even stimulates your fascia to release.
Fascia is SO important and often underrated. It's a thin web of connective tissue that wraps around every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel, and internal organ in your body.
Often, the aches and pains you may feel come from tight/dehydrated fascia rather than simply your muscles alone.
There's a substance called hyaluronan between the layers of your fascia which can be affected by poor posture and/or lack of connected movement. This causes fascia to stiffen up and thicken. I figure that hyaluronan must be the juice that Joe was talking about...
And, connected movement is what Classical Pilates is all about!
"Squeezing out the juice" during The 100, Series of 5, Rolling Like a Ball...etc...means the movements act a bit like a spring, putting pressure on the fascia which then allows it to spring back to life by bringing fresh blood and oxygen to the tight areas.
It can actually help rehydrate your connective tissue. Wow 🤩
Matwork is meant to go hand in hand with your work on the apparatus. It gets your entire powerhouse (abs, glutes, sides, back) working and creates length and flexibility in the body fast.
Plus, we have a whole lotta fun!
So, come along and move with us. Your Fascia will thank you later. 🙏
