Beginner Level Pilates Exercise:
Single Leg Stretch
This Pilates exercise photo was taken to teach you to first perform this classic Pilates movement in the easiest position. This is with your head down and keeping your back flat against the mat while you focus on the arm and leg movements with the breath work. Alternate the arms and legs while breathing in and out each time for 8-10 repetitions.
An Intermediate Level Pilates Exercise:
Rollup with a Band
This Classic Pilates exercise is designed to teach you to move slowly through the rollup exercise articulating the spine by using your abs. The band can be used as tension to help you control the roll up and down the mat until you are strong enough to do so without it. Exhale as you roll down the mat controlling the peel of your spine. Inhale as you stretch at the bottom and then exhale to gradually peel the spine off the mat with the head coming first. Repeat for 6 repetitions.
An Advanced Level Pilates Exercise Photo:

This exercise pictured is at the most difficult level and is one of the most photographed of the Pilates exercises. It is very challenging to do this exercise precisely and with optimal control. You can find more details on the Teaser here.
