Hey, hey, get healthy U TV squad. Welcome. Thank you so much. My name is Patty Kay and I've got Tara with me today and we are here to bring you Pilates yoga fusion or so, a little bit of Pilates, a little bit of yoga. We're gonna fuse the two together.
We have a lot of spinal articulation going flexion and extension working that trans first abdominous, right? That's that muscle that wraps around your body. It's right below the belly button, right. So really, it's really time to really focus in on your core strength as we work through these moves and we'll talk about it more when we get there. All right.
You ready? So we're gonna start at the back of our mat. We need a mat. Oh, and we need a spongy ball today too. And here's deal.

So we're gonna start at the back of our mats just, just open up our chest, relax your arms along the side of your body and just take a moment and let's just take a moment to breathe nice, deep breath in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
