Tilda and Ball routine

This is a really simple routine that everyone can do. We move into the stretches and stay in them for longer, so that each one really hits the spot… PLUS a fab core challenge.

Knowing that you have a longer period of time to encourage your class to find that deep stretch is a joy! When they reach their first edge, they can hang out there and explore the sensations of what they are feeling and where they are feeling it..

Discomfort that presents itself to your participant as pain or causes uneven, strained breathing should alert you to instruct them to ease back.

My favourite cues:

• Allow your body to settle deeper in to the stretch

• If it feels safe and comfortable, explore a bit deepr with the stretch.

• Notice any resistance and gently release it.

• Find your edge, a good stretch with no pain.

• With each exhale allow your body to relax further into the pose.

• Let your smooth, slow exhale help you relax deeper.

• Let your muscles relax and surrender to the stretch, allowing the pose to do the work for you.

• Keep your spine long and engaged, even as you fold into the pose
