Finding Extension on the Trapeze

Finding Extension on the Trapeze

Nicole Martin, owner of Ritual Pilates in San Diego, California is back to show us Swan using the Trapeze on the Contrology Cadillac. Full Swan is a great way to end a flow, when the body is warm and ready for the challenge. Ballet Stretches, Pull Ups, and Inversions are all great exercises that utilize the Trapeze.

Nicole shows you the proper setup of the apparatus and correct positioning of the body with precision and beautiful form.
