Last night, my carpool buddy told me that at the Philadelphia #Tango Festival, a local professional was 🤯 by Martín & Maurizio’s lesson on pivoting bc they generate it at the hip. That’s how Maurizio does 1080° pivots.

Maurizio has tried to teach it to me before, but he’s the only teacher I’ve heard teach it that way.

Today in #Pilates, the instructor told me “pivots come from the hips” before hip exercises. I told her the above. “It’s a big joint. It has more power. Why wouldn’t you?”

Me, last night, to carpool buddy: “imagine if I’d started Pilates in 2012 when my doctor told me to. Well, second best time is now.”

Pilates teacher, today: “imagine if you’d started Pilates before tango.”

Yeah.

About 8–10 years ago, my #EhlersDanlos doctor (Dr F) told me to take up #pilates (starting with private lessons so the instructor can ensure good form since the EDS makes me more injury-prone). She said #yoga would be acceptable too (NOT hot yoga!!!), but Pilates would be safer.

In April, I was taking a #tango lesson with Germán Filipeli, and he said I needed more core strength to do volcadas and should take up Pilates.

Weak stabilizer muscles are manifesting knee pain, so I finally started.

- 3 hours of tango (1 hour teaching, 1 hour practicing, 1 hour as teacher assistant)
- 1.5 hours of pilates

- 45 minutes of tango (this time in a plaza, not on a nice dance studio floor)

OMG LEG DAY still feeling it
