Checkpoint BASI Pilates Advanced 1

The exercises in this class are original BASI Pilates exercises created by Rael Isacowitz. Before you jump into the advanced Checkpoint class, make sure you’re really comfortable with the intermediate exercises, especially the rollover. If it’s your first time trying the advanced work, please watch me do the exercises before you perform them yourself. It’ important to remember, when doing a rollover, be careful not to turn your head to the side. This class is very challenging, so being well-organized and focused internally is crucial to performing the exercises beautifully and, most importantly, safely. You’ll be doing exercises like control balance, jack knife, side bend, hip circle, swan dive prep with a catch, Teaser 1, and boomerang. Are you excited? You’ve got this! Let’s get onto the mat! Well done, well done, well done! Wow, that was a tough class. The next advanced Checkpoint class will cover exercises like Scissors, Bicycle, Neck Pull, Twist, advanced Corkscrew, Swan Dive, Teaser 2 and 3, Crab, and Push-Up. But remember, don’t rush the process. Please repeat the class as your body needs it. When you’re ready, I’ll see you on the mat for Advanced BASI Pilates Checkpoint 2 Class. Rest up, you deserve it!
