How to Roll like a Ball with a Ball in Advanced Pilates
Dori Markakos: Hi! I’m Dori. This is advanced Pilates. Right now, I’m going to show you how to do rolling like a ball, with the ball. So, what I want you to do is to seat yourself right in the middle of the mat, grab on to this side of the ball, with either hand or force the ball right into the top of your chins, and comfortably on top of your feet.
Take a big, deep breathe in, and as you exhale I want you to balance yourself right there in your sit bone looking straight ahead, round out your spine, taking your chin to your chest, you’re simply going to roll right back just like rolling like a ball and come up, pause, pause we have those feet touching the floor. Roll back, come up, pause, pause, roll back, come up, pause, pause, make sure those feet don’t touch, inhale and exhale you’ve got three more, inhale and exhale, nice and easy, inhale and exhale, last one, big deep breathe in and exhale come up, and slowly release your legs, and release the ball. Let's go ahead and move on.
