VIDEO: Pilates Magic Circle Flow to Energize Your Powerhouse
Short on time but want to feel centered and energized? This quick Pilates mat flow with the Magic Circle, led by Pilates Room NYC owner Alison Johnson, is designed to wake up your powerhouse and add some resistance into your practice.
In Pilates, the “powerhouse” refers to the deep center of your body—your abdominals, back, hips, pelvic floor and glutes. It’s the core support system that stabilizes your spine, powers your movement, and helps you move with strength, control, and ease.
Using the Magic Circle, you’ll flow through a series of dynamic mat exercises that add gentle resistance to activate your core more deeply, improve coordination and build full-body connection—all in just ten minutes. This is a perfect routine when you’re short on time but want a focused, energizing reset.
By the end of this short flow, you’ll feel more connected to your center, more supported in your movement, and ready to take on the rest of your day.
What you’ll get from this routine:
Deep core and powerhouse activation
Added resistance for strength and control
Improved coordination and full-body connection
A quick, energizing flow when time is limited
