Reading the body on the equipment is such an important component to being an effective Pilates instructor. Throwing out generic cues can only take the clients so far in their work. The key to giving precise, detail-oriented cueing is speaking to the client’s body. And the only way to speak to the client’s body is if you see how the client is moving on the equipment. This is what Body Braille is all about: how to see the body and all of the nuances in its dance with the equipment. Watch this video to get a sense of how this body reading works in the exercise Swan on the Reformer.

Movement: Press through your hands into Swan, maintaining a long spine and lengthened neck. Release your arms straight to the side as your body rocks forward. Maintaing the arc position of the body, the legs will lift off the Mat. Rock back onto the thighs, lifting the chest, and maintaining the extension and arc position of the body. Repeat..
Precautions: Avoid lifting the chest and extending the spine so much in Swan that you feel a pinch in the lower back. Maintain the length in the back by lifting the abdominals to spine and sending the tailbone to the Mat. Prevent the legs from releasing the arc shape by engaging the glutes, inner thighs, and back extensors. Swan Dive should not be performed until you have learned and practiced the Swan and Swan Dive Prep..

This is swan dive, which is an advancement of swan from the intermediate mat sequence. So we’ll start on the stomach in the swan position, bringing your hands underneath your shoulders. So, to lead up to the full swan dive, I’ll teach a few preparations to get your body prepared for this exercise. Inhale here, Madeline, press into your hands and go into almost a full extension, so the elbows are very long here. Then as you exhale roll forward onto your chest lift your legs up and then return right back up. Again, two more, Inhale roll forward to the breast bone, exhale up. One more time here, and up. Now just hold it here, and this time we’ll sweep the arms in front of you, so lower the chest towards the mat, sweep the arms forward, and then catch yourself. That’s it two more times here, inhale and exhale up. Last time. Now just lower down into the mat for a little rest. So notice in the swan dive how the body works as a unit, it’s not that her top is going then her legs go, it’s not two separate pieces the whole body rocks back and forth, kinda like a rocking horse. Next is the full swan dive here. So extend all the way up, towards the mat, sweep your arms forward, kick your legs up and continue to rock here. Rock a few more times, then gradually make the move smaller, until you find yourself lying completely flat on the mat, and lower all the way down. Then sit back into your rest position, and that’s swan dive.
