Monday morning mobilisation 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ #pilates #pilatesclasses #matpilates #matpilatesclass #matpilatesforeveryone

Waking those obliques up on a Monday morning 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ More mini ball fun to be had in tonight’s Pilates class 👏

Pilates for Posture: We are back this morning with some moves really focusing on improving posture and eliminating any tension in our shoulders. Our shoulders and neck muscles are key areas that deserve some TLC. They play a vital part in maintaining good posture and are often the first areas of our body that suffers from tension, aches and pains when we are stressed, give them some love 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️

The Hundred. A Pilates exercise for muscular endurance, building a strong core and working the abdominal muscles hard. Lots of variations making this exercise perfect for all levels and abilities. Great for this morning’s mat class 👏🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Tonight’s class really showing how Mat Pilates is great for both body and mind. Challenging the core but working the whole body with this modified hover plank into controlled walk outs. It’s actually harder having the knees hovering closer to the mat and requires a lot of focus and control 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Monday morning class ✅ There are some great benefits of including Pilates into your weekly workout routine, here’s just a few 👇 -Improved Posture -Improved Balance -Improved Flexibility -Improved Muscle Strength and Tone -Reduced Stress Levels -Improved Core Strength -Improved Pelvic Floor -Improved Mobility -Reduced Lower Back Pain -Reduced Risk of Injury -Effective Rehabilitation

Mobilising the spine. The cat cow is one the the best stretches you can do to develop mobility throughout the entire length of the spine while reducing pressure on the spine. Another of my favourite exercises to incorporate into a Pilates class, it also helps improve flexibility of the neck and shoulders as well as stretching the hips, back abdomen and chest 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Pilates for hip strength and mobility ⬇️ This side lying leg slide is a great Pilates exercise for hip mobility and strengthening the muscles around the hips including the glutes. For more of a challenge you can also add a little hold and lift when the leg has slid back and when it comes forward, feel that extra burn in the glutes 🔥. Also a great prenatal friendly Pilates exercise 🤰🧘🏼‍♀️

Help mobilise your hips and strengthen the muscles around the joint with the Oyster/ Clam. Being propped up on that elbow makes this exercise more challenging and also helps work into those side abdominal muscles. Lots more variations of this popular Pilates exercise in this weeks classes and this exercise is also prenatal friendly 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️🤰✅

Feeling good with some Monday evening Pilates 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Working on that core control, balance, stability and co-ordination, great for both the body and mind. A form of exercise that can be enjoyed and benefited by so many people!

Roll Backs are great to prepare yourself for a full Roll Up by strengthening the abdominals and hips whilst challenging the C-Curved alignment of the spine 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Progress into a full Roll Up which promotes mobilisation of the spine and hips while challenging the balance of strength and mobility throughout the whole body 🤸🏼‍♀️ Find these two variations in this weeks Mat Pilates classes ✅

Happy Monday 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Check out the Single Leg Stretch- a Pilates exercise you’ll find in this weeks classes which helps develop strength and stamina in the abdominals whilst mobilising the hips and knees. -Aim to keep all movements controlled, smooth and flowing -Maintain a curled up position throughout. Use your arms to draw your legs towards you and not to pull your spine further up -Maintain length in your neck, and keep your head still, focus down on your abdominal area Fancy trying a Pilates class for FREE in November?

Shoulder Bridge- a Pilates exercise that I teach a lot during classes. This exercise is great for spinal mobility as well as pelvic and core stability and strength. It’s also a great little glute strengthener and burner with so many variations depending on personal ability and preference 🍑🔥 Adding those overhead arm reaches develops shoulder mobility whilst focusing on stability and co-ordination 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Fancy giving Pilates a try?

Great work from tonight’s Pilates class, some tough progressions that everyone performed great at 👏🔥 Little video of the group performing ‘The Hundred’ a great Pilates exercise with lots of benefits: The purpose of this exercise is to develop stabilising muscular strength and endurance of the main core muscles including transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, multifidus and internal obliques. As well as developing the scapular, pelvic stabilisers, quadriceps, abductors and calf muscles that help stabilise the legs. It’s also a great exercise to educate about breath being connected to movement 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘‍♂️

It’s been great working with these ladies for the last 4 weeks and supporting them through their different stages of pregnancy with the very first, 4 week Prenatal Pilates Course🤰 A lovely opportunity for pregnant ladies to socialise and exercise together whilst looking after their bodies and taking some important time to relax 🧘🏼‍♀️.
