Pelvic tilts

In this video we will find our neutral pelvis, and use the Pilates breath to move into posterior and anterior pelvic tilts.

Posterior tilt - this is when we tuck the tail bone under and send the pubic bone up toward the ceiling, think of a scooping under movement. When we are lying down this will close the space between the lower back and the floor, you could imagine a small grape under your lower back that you are trying to gently squash.

Anterior tilt - from neutral we tip the pelvis forward creating an arch in the lower back, imagine sending the pubic bone down towards the mat.

Breath - aim to inhale whilst the pelvis is in neutral and exhale to tip the pelvis either posteriourly (under) or anteriorly (forward). Use the imagery of drawing the naval to the spine on the exhale for abdominal activation.
