The High Barrel Stretch That Changes Everything (Quad + Hip Flexor Combo)

Learn how to get a deeper, more effective leg stretch on the Pilates high barrel by combining a true quad stretch and a hip flexor opener. This small adjustment helps you lengthen the front of the body, improve alignment, and get more out of every exercise that follows. I teach classical Pilates, and this stretch is one of my go-to techniques for clients who feel “tight in the front body,” struggle with leg extension, or want to move with more ease and power. Perfect for anyone wanting better posture, stronger fundamentals, and a more intelligent practice.
