36. Pilates Breathing Cues, with Raphael Bender and Cloe Bunter

Pilates Breathing Cues, With Raphael Bender And Cloe Bunter On the show today we’re focusing on Pilates breathing, whether a ‘correct’ breathing pattern is really a thing, and if we should be cueing it if it is. Joseph Pilates wrote a book before his death called Your Health, and we read through some of the wackier passages about forced exhalation and examine how his ideas fit with what needs to happen biomechanically when we breathe. We also discuss the effect that Pilates breathing cues have on motor learning, and give a comprehensive example of when it is useful to zoom in on how a client breathes concerning pain during movement.
