Special Cases
, A movement quality that reflects the concept that every exercise in Pilates has an
anchor (in the Powerhouse) and a force reaching away from that anchor, creating
opposition. Finding the opposition in each position strengthens the
anchors/stabilizers. What are the lines of energy flowing outward from the center in
opposition? Imagine the body stretching in opposite directions during Pilates, with
energy sent outward to those points.

Opposition
The act of standing with the heels together, toes naturally apart, weight evenly
distributed on both feet, with the body weight carried just in front of the heels. The
inner thighs are firmly joined from the hips to the ankles, with the abdominals pulled in
and up. Shoulders, ribs, and hips are stacked, and shoulder blades lie flat and down
the back. The sternum and head are lifted, with the bony prominence of the seventh
cervical vertebra in line with the back of the head.
