The Shoulder Bridge  This is an example movement and may not be suitable for all. If you are injured or pre or post natal please contact me before attempting this or any movement. Both knees bent at 45 degrees, feet flat on the floor. Maintain a neutral spine and pull your Transversus Abdominus or Pelvic floor to 30%. Breath up into your chest and out to the side. Breath in to prepare and then as you exhale tilt you pelvis flattening your back and peeling firstly your hips and then your back off the mat one vertebra at a time until your knees, hips and shoulders form a diagonal line Breathe in at the top of the move and exhale to bring yourself back down to the mat one vertebra at a time until you can come back into neutral spine. Once you have been taught the Pilates setup this move will help to give you mobility in your spine and strengthen your core muscles.
