HIGH BRIDGE ON ONE LEG | UNIVERSAL REFORMER
"The High Bridge is a complete extension of the front body: a fully arched spine, with an indispensable opening of the chest and hips. When performed on the Reformer, lifting the body off the carriage demands a lot more from the upper and lower back due to the higher position of hands on shoulder blocks and feet on footbar, as opposed to on the Mat, where hands, feet and spine are lined up in the starting position. To add an extra challenge, the One Leg variation not only defies the alignment and balance of the body but also makes its much more fun!" - Marian Tarín, owner of PILATISTIC Old School Pilates Studio and director of PILATISTIC Teachers' Proficiency Pilates Program
