Imagination
During Pilates classes you will often come across imagining. For instance, you might hear: “Imagine your spine being a string of beads, rising from a table one by one.” Or: “Pull your head high, as if the top of your head was attached to a string used to make puppets move.” Or: “When lying on your back, imagine that your morning coffee is in a cup balanced on your stomach, and that you definitely do not want to spill it.” Try to make use of these imaginings during exercise. You will discover how much they can help you.
