Stretch & Release
Welcome to my Perfect Pilates Posture Program for mat and reformer. This collection includes a selection of stretch and release sessions curated by Melanie to help you open your posture, release restrictions, and help you stand tall.
Both reformer and mat sessions are included in this collection. Included workouts are all appropriate for all levels.
The full program can be found here: https://www.melanielopezpilates.com/perfect-pilates-posture-program
HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM: The videos in this program are categorized under the "Stretch & Release" or "Strengthen & Stabilize" collections. "Stretch & Release" workouts can be used to relieve muscle tightness that can commonly contribute to posture issue, and "Strengthen & Stabilize" workouts can be used to strengthen weak postural muscles for better support and create better upper body joint stability. Choose a single video from either category to complete each day, or combine a Stretch and Strengthen video for a more comprehensive workout. These videos may be combined with other full body workouts if desired.
