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?”

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.
