The Hundred (mat)

The client who leads the Hundred with her neck

What you see
The chin juts up and the eyes fix on the ceiling while the arms pump. The head hangs back off the top of the curl and the throat tightens. Often the shoulders creep toward the ears as well, and the beat starts coming from the shoulders.
What to say
"Soften your gaze to the space between your thighs and keep the crown of your head reaching long as the arms beat."
What to change
Raise the legs higher toward the ceiling. The pelvis anchors more easily and the upper curl can stay lifted without the neck straining. If the shoulders are doing the pumping, make the pumps smaller and lower, closer to the mat, so the movement comes from the upper arms.

Built one title at a time

Brick By Brick Studios makes printable teaching tools for Pilates instructors. Every title is drawn, checked against its sources, and sold in our Etsy shop.

What we make next comes from the people who teach with them. Someone asks, other instructors vote, and the most wanted are made first.
