The practitioner sits upright on the mat or a Pilates apparatus, with the spine elongated, shoulders relaxed, and feet grounded or slightly lifted depending on the variation. Movements may include: Torso rotations to engage oblique muscles Arm movements overhead or forward to challenge balance and coordination Leg extensions or lifts to strengthen the lower abdominals and hip flexors Breath control to enhance core activation and mindfulness The seated position encourages a strong, stable core, improved posture, and increased awareness of spinal alignment. It’s suitable for all levels and can be modified for beginners or intensified for advanced practitioners.
