Oooh you tease us with the MORE PILATES PRINCIPLES but there arent any! BOOO HOOOOO. This video has answered what the previous 100 ones I've watched didnt.
I'm so used to deep belly breathing that this feels alien to me. can you still breathe deeply when you draw your belly button in? and when you do the pilates breathe, does your chest move up and down when you breathe or is just the side of your chest that moves, that expands?
Hello! Remember 'intentional breathing'.... whether belly or Pilates breath....this skill is linked through your intention. So you are actually closer than you think :) With the belly-button (TVA) drawn inwards-- the breath/air is supposed to travel into the 'lower back lobes' of the lungs. The chest will rise and fall a tiny bit. But chest breathers breathe from their throat, while Pilates breath still comes from the diaphragm, it's just not filled like a balloon like in yoga or meditation.
Thank u for amazing video! Could u explain why we should keep our lowe belly button flat during roll up or Round/flatback?(I wonder remaining drawing in during movement is a "scoop" too). Is it because remain transverse abdominis activation?
Yes, exactly, keep drawing-in or 'scooping' to engage the pelvic floor and TVA, diaphragm, and stabilize the spine...good for all low-to-medium impact exercise-- needed during spine flexion, neutral, or extension....good for posture too!

Just make sure you don't hyperventilate! If it felt like a positive thing, it was most likely that core energy charging you up :)

@@matthew_ryan_pilates thank you!
If you have weak core/rib flare and find this scoop helpful, is it benefical to 'scoop' whilst walking or in a office chair working? Thanks.
yes! You just reminded me to scoop while sitting at the computer as well :)

Should I be trying to do this 24/7 or should this only be done in pilstes?
You can do this a lot, think of it more as exercises however, you wouldn’t want to try for 24/7.
I feel a little dizzy too!
Oh no! See if you can practice with less exhale from the lungs, more scoop from the TVA?
