The Pilates Zip & Hollow is important to learn because it prepares your body for Pilates and also helps to protect your back while doing the exercises.
A lot has been written about the Zip & Hollow some of it very confusing so to help our clients learn this important principle we’ve produced the video you see below. It will explain how to correctly recruit Transverse Abdominus and how to engage your pelvic floor.
It is part of a series of exercises that we’ve added to our Facebook page Pilates Hull. We intend to add videos as time allows and will cover topics like how to find neutral in all positions along with video responses to questions we get asked.
