As i say to my students Dph breathing cool us down. While lateral is making us harder, powerful, required while training etc. Calmness~diaphragmatic. Zest~Lateral ❤
@OnlinePilatesClasses also wanted to express you, i love your funky attitude , tone of voice, cool standing position~all of you... Sick and tired of all those serious guys and ladies in classical pilates field. I am also teaching loving classical but as i -again- say to my clients: " Come on guys, we are not teaching astrophysics here, we are just doing, teaching sophisticated gymnastics, lets have some fun". Shortly said, i prefer laughing over playing it serious... 😘
@@wonderlidio haha! YASSS omg people are so weird on both the Classical and Contemporary side. I've seen both styles micromanage movement. I love to say I help people fall better. You don't fall slowly lol. Thank you for sharing this with me xx
Thank you for the video, Lesley. I got a question here, hope you can help me. I know in Pilates we use lateral breathing, but why we are lateral posterior breathing as well? When do we use lateral and when do we use lateral posterior breathing?
by always I mean in Pilates. But if your'e a teacher keep in mind newbies are going ot take time to get control of this so just make sure they arent' holding their breath
I've been taking beginning Pilates classes for 3 months from 2 different instructors (3 students max per class (reformer). This is the first I've heard about lateral breathing. I've been doing diaph. breathing while going through my movements. I was told to inhale through the nose (relaxation) and exhale through the mouth (on exertion) during each movement. I can't breathe fully through my nose so I'm inhaling and exhaling through my mouth (pushing my abdomen in and out) through my movements, while simultaneously trying to keep my core zipped up from pubis to top of rib cage. This has always felt wrong and difficult to me. Now I know why. I'm 75 and have a severe diastasis recti due to two surgeries where I was incised from just below the center of the rib cage to the top of my pubis. I had received no discharge instructions to prevent the separation. I've been through 2.5 years of PT, and now am trying Pilates to correct the severe diastastis. Now I'm learning I'm not even breathing correctly. I'm assessing your videos to determine if I want to try your program BTW, you talk very rapidly, which makes it harder to follow), but my daughter has warned me that I need an instructor to be viewing me directly. I am getting stronger with my current Pilates classes, but the DR has only gotten worse.
Hey there, first thank you for sharing everything it. Its very helpful for me to give you some feedback. Also, I'm so sorry to hear how you got DR that is so frustrating! Re the breath: I don't know why your teacher is suggesting that breath plus all the other abdominal corrections. In life please try to breath in and out through your nose. I know you said that is difficult but mouth breathing soley does have some negative medical results. Please read Breath by James Nestor. Its going to be so fascinating for you! Most teachers are not told how clients should breath. In life I want you to belly breathe! However, for your situation I do think you need in person like you're doing but with a teacher who understands DR. Most teachers are NOT taught how to support a DR just some things to avoid. I know this DR is not due to preganancy. But, you can find experts in DR in the Post Natal Pilates focused instructors. When you have your DR feeling like you're controlling it better than of course we'd love to have you at OPC. There is myself and 6 other teachers. Most who talk much slower than me :) xx~LL
great question, honestly, in and out through the nose is what scientific research has found to be most beneficial. Its ok to do in through the nose out through the mouth but just be mindful you're not straining to exhale completely. xx~LL
Diaphragmatic breathing while walking. Best breathing tutorial I've ever heard. 😊
thank you!! I'm super happy to read this xx~LL

hey love its the same thing :) just an extra word. You're always wanting to breath into the back and wide. xx

What is the difference between both exercise..and how to distinguish pilates breathing and diaphragmatic breathing exercises
I don't think I understand your question. Pilates breathing is lateral breathing. Regular diaphragmatic breathing is how you should breath in life

Hi Lesley! I have a question on breathing laterally. I am used to inhaling thru nose and exhale through the mouth. What are your opinions on that?
great question, honestly, in and out through the nose is what scientific research has found to be most beneficial. Its ok to do in through the nose out through the mouth but just be mindful you're not straining to exhale completely. xx~LL
