The Twist is a great mat exercise that I still love to practice. It’s challenging but super energizing!
I remember Rael saying that the quickest way to strengthen the core is through oblique work. Generally clients find it difficult and so prefer to shy away from it. But it’s for this reason that it’s important to incorporate it into our daily practice.

My first day back in the studio 🥳💃 .
I’m ready to embrace all that lies ahead for 2022! And I’m super excited to tap into my creativity again and share my great love for Pilates.
Setting intentions is the first step in manifesting your truest potential whether it be your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual state.
No doubt 2021 presented a challenging time for many so it was probably not easy to achieve all that we set out to. But it’s the intention that matters. And we must continue to look to the good, in others, in ourselves and in all that is around us.
Wishing us all a renewed sense of spirit so that we may discover groundbreaking levels of wellness in all aspects of our being.

The beauty about Pilates? Well it’s endless. You’re never too young or too old, too strong or too unfit, too big or too small. It’s never too early or too late to start. It’s a discipline you can carry on mastering throughout your life. It’s healing for the body, mind and spirit. It’s fun too. And all of this whilst helping you to develop a stronger body that’s better aligned, that can move you through life more easily, efficiently and gracefully. What more could you want?

The Jackknife on the Wunda Chair is a powerful spinal articulation exercise. The challenge lies in keeping the legs perpendicular to the ground on the way down.
