There are many valid ways to teach Short Spinals, and it always comes back to your intention.
In this version with Laura, we are not rushing through the roll down or letting the legs take over. We keep the feet over the face as long as possible, avoid momentum, and continue the articulation even after the low back touches the mat so the pelvis can keep moving all the way to neutral.
That is the part many people miss.
For clients with hyper-lordosis or a more severe anterior pelvic tilt, this can help create more opening and awareness through the lower lumbar and all the way into the sacrum and tailbone, rather than turning the exercise into mostly a leg workout.
It is harder, because the abdominals are doing much more of the work and the legs have to stay patient in the straps instead of leading.
But that is also what can make it feel so much more supportive, precise, and therapeutic (take it from me, the lordotic lady…it feels amazing).
Thank you Laura Gill for your beautiful ex*****on and to EQ by Laura for the beautiful space to execute it in!

What actually makes a Pilates instructor feel confident?
It’s rarely natural talent.
It’s rarely personality.
Confidence is built through understanding, repetition, mentorship, and real-world experience.
You learn why exercises work.
You learn how to adapt.
You learn how to trust what you’re seeing.
And perhaps most importantly, you learn that confidence isn’t something you need before you begin.
It’s something you build along the way.
If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready,” this is your reminder that readiness often comes from taking the next step.

Comment “START” and I’ll help you determine if teacher training is the right fit for you.
Many instructors leave training knowing the exercises, but end up learning some of the most important parts of teaching later, in their first few jobs, through trial and error.
Things like how to communicate clearly, train your eye, notice patterns and imbalances, use touch with more precision, meet different nervous systems, adapt in real time, and build something sustainable.
Those things matter.
Because great teaching is not just about knowing the work. It is about learning how to see, respond, support, and grow into the kind of instructor people truly trust.
That is a big part of why I believe you should not have to wait to learn those things on the job.
You can start learning them from the beginning.
