on sun, 3/22, 12-1:30pm EST! (virtual only)
is the piriformis your client’s secret stabilizing superherhero; or the sneaky problem behind that stubborn glute pain? come find out + get your questions answered with matt’s return to .up.mvmt! in this dynamic, anatomy-rich classtermind, we’ll explore the piriformis muscle through the lens of pilates movement. we’ll unpack how the piriformis behaves in different hip positions, how it influences sacral mechanics, and why it often gets blamed for pain that may not even be its fault. through practical movement exercises, cueing strategies, and programming ideas, you’ll leave confident in identifying when to strengthen, when to release, and when to look elsewhere.
expect “aha!” moments + myth-busting movement experiences you can immediately apply in private sessions or group classes, because sometimes the piriformis isn’t the villain of the story — it’s just doing the job no one else showed up to do.
