Some teachers would say that the Double Leg Stretch is the most important exercise in the repertoire and that it carries within it the essence of the work. Here is an idea I would like to suggest today- Stand up with your arms stretched up towards the ceiling and your legs together (Pilates Stance or Parallel with feet close together). Circle the arms around and down while squatting all the way down. Hugg your knees to your chest with your arms, pull your Abs in and try bring your tail very close to your heels. Now squeeze your sits bones together even more and stand upright again with your arms reaching up towards the ceiling. Do it a few times and then carry this feeling and intensity into the Double Leg Stretch and see what it feels like.
