April Tillman Pilates

Welcome to April Tillman Pilates bringing you affordable classical Pilates. We believe Pilates is good for the body and everyone should have the opportunity to have it in their life. If you don't have the budget to do privates sessions with an instructor on equipment then this might be a good option for you. Or maybe you do take equipment sessions and want to add in a second or third workout. Using this platform we are hoping to bring free Pilates to your home so you have the opportunity to do more workouts and be consistent in your practice. Please join me in the classical method of Pilates.

Please omit exercises that are not right for your body. We definitely want to work hard but we don't want to create tension in the body. Pilates should never be painful, you should feel energized, good about yourself, and excited for the next lesson.

‘Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness.’ Joseph Pilates

    Thanks April, I enjoyed watching you introduce classical repertoire to a newbie! I'm about to give some fitness reformer instructors their first traditional reformer session so I'm sure I'll draw on some of your tips!

    Hi April! Thanks for sharing a bit of your work. Your teaching style is great, very calm and precise. Love how you stay strong in your center while teaching Renata. Also, many thanks to Renata, who did this challenging workout to help your apprentices - and us! Quick question: I noticed you keep the mirrors behind the Reformer instead of in front of them. Is there any particular reason for that? Greetings! João

  • @apriltillmanpilates
    @apriltillmanpilates5 ай бұрын

    Thank you for all the kind compliments. You probably couldn't see in the video but I do have mirrors in front of the reformers as well as behind. When teaching I mostly use the behind mirrors and side mirror. The behind mirrors help me with seeing posture and alignment so I can do a lot of correcting has I stand in front of the foot bar and I like it when clients turn around and are doing exercises like pull-straps, chest expansion, thigh stretch ect...they can see their own alignment and make adjustments. I think more mirrors the better. Thank you for watching!

    I am finishing up my teacher certification and will be teaching two classes, one of which is Gentle Reformer. Thanks you for putting the video together of a beginner. I am still getting my student teaching hours in and I have a few beginners lined up to practice teach. I will refer back to this repertoire and cuing.

    Hi April! Thanks for the video, love how you make each tip fit seamlessly into the movement, so there's no need to stop! I have a quick question about the Roll Up: I've done it for a long time with flexed feet. I tried a couple times with pointed toes, and I could feel better my seat and my inner thighs. I've noticed it helps keeping my lower spine rounded as I lift off from my hips. But I'm not sure if it's the purpose, or it has another reason. I would love to know, if you don't mind! XO

  • @apriltillmanpilates
    @apriltillmanpilates Жыл бұрын

    Sounds like you got it! You should definitely be feeling all parts working. I like to mix it up with flexed and sometimes pointed depending on what I'm working on. The flexed feet I tend to feel my backside more plus you gain stretch--- both ways are correct. And the lower spine lifting off your hips, is key! Thank you :)
