What should be the position of the pelvis during Chest Lift with Rotation?

During the Chest Lift with Rotation in Pilates, the pelvis should remain stable. A stable pelvis is crucial for maintaining proper alignment and ensuring that the movement originates from the thoracic spine rather than the lumbar region. This stability allows for controlled rotation of the spine while preventing excessive movement in the pelvis, which could lead to strain or misalignment.

In this exercise, the focus is on engaging the core muscles effectively to support the spine while performing the rotation. A stable pelvis provides a solid base, enabling the practitioner to isolate the upper body movement and execute the rotation safely and effectively. Stability in the pelvis also enhances balance and control throughout the exercise, optimizing the benefits of the Chest Lift with Rotation while minimizing the risk of injury.
