Don't underestimate the POWER of the CHAIR!

I hope you’re sitting down right now! So many of us, especially since the pandemic, sit A LOT! However, there are a number of ways you can incorporate your chair into Pilates—er, um, Chair-lates. Here’s a simple, crowd-pleasing stretch to relieve tight butts:

Simply scooch to the front edge of your chair.

Cross one ankle over the opposite knee, creating the shape of the number 4.

Sit as tall as you can and then hinge forward with a flat back.

Repeat on both sides.

NOTE: Try not to collapse through the chest or tuck your butt because you will lose the intensity of the stretch. You’ll feel it the most by reaching out though your sitz bones and lifting through your sternum.
