Pilates Exercise: Long Spine

Long Spine is performed on the Pilates Reformer.

Long Stretch is a very challenging exercise.  It is often first taught on the floor or using all Reformer springs so the carriage does not move. This way the client can learn by stabilizing in this "push-up" position first.
