Pilates Hip and Glute Cues, Instructor Cue Cards, Mat and Reformer, 130 Drawn Cards

The hips are where you see most of what goes wrong in a class: the pelvis rocking in footwork, the top hip rolling back in a side kick, the seat gripping in a bridge, a knee falling in on a lunge. These 130 cue cards hold every cue for that one region, on the mat and on the reformer, sorted by what the cue has to do. Every card has a close-up drawing of the hips in the exercise and names the one place to look to see whether the cue landed.

Hips and Glutes Pilates Cue Cards is a printable deck for Pilates instructors. Each card is one cue for one exercise. The cue is the big line. Under it sit the exercise, where it happens (the mat position, or the reformer load and what the spring is doing) and the landmark to watch: the hip bones, the top hip, the tailbone, the knee line. The use-when line at the foot names what you see in the client that calls for the card. Print the sheets, cut on the lines, and keep the cards for this week's class by the mat or clipped to the reformer frame.
