Looking for one Pilates move that ticks all the boxes for mobility, strength, and posture? Say hello to The Saw—a dynamic mat exercise that combines spinal rotation, forward flexion, and breathwork to leave you feeling strong, open, and refreshed.
✨ Why The Saw Deserves a Spot in Your Routine
🌀 Spinal Flexibility & Mobility
The twist-and-reach motion helps release tension in your spine, making it a great antidote to long hours of sitting.
💪 Stronger Core & Obliques
Your abdominals and obliques do the heavy lifting here—literally. You’ll build strength and stability while keeping your pelvis grounded.
🧘♀️ Full-Body Stretch
As you rotate and reach, you’ll feel a deep stretch through your hamstrings, back, and shoulders—perfect for unlocking tightness and improving alignment.
🫁 Improved Posture & Breathing
The Saw encourages you to sit tall, rotate evenly, and breathe deeply, all of which support better posture and mental clarity.
🧩 Pilates Principles in Motion
The Saw beautifully embodies all six Pilates principles:
Breath, Control, Centering, Precision, Concentration, and Flow. It’s mindful movement at its best—uniting body and breath through fluid motion.
