~20 minutes

This short Pilates workout hits the reset button, with the tried and tested moves that mobilise the spine and awaken key muscles. Level 1. Only prop is a sitting block (or book / cushion). NB: it involves flexion with rotation (in the Saw); avoid if you have any disk herniation. Even if you don’t, always

Short, easy 15-minute workout that mobilises the spine and loosens up tight hips. May be helpful where you have back pain as long as you DO NOT push through acute pain! It will certainly help prevent back pain.

This short workout uses a medium-size, softly-inflated ball but you could improvise with smaller one. Short sequence with ball under front of pelvis/thighs is guaranteed to make you feel your triceps (backs of upper arms)! Note: magic circles are here mainly to stop ball rolling away when not in use! While I make use of

This a level 1 class – accessible to all. Definitely beneficial to anyone experiencing back pain, with the warning that you always listen to your body and only do what feels good for you! If you don’t have any pain – great – move well to stay that way!! You are taken through solid Pilates

Waken up those all-important muscles around the pelvis in less than 15 minutes. Plenty of toe tapping and dead bug moves, mostly with head down and with lengthening your levers (legs!) so there’s more call on your deep stabilising muscles as the minutes go by. It all adds up to a stronger you!

This 20-minute session will help you tone and strengthen the arms and shoulders, plus the legs!

The long foam roller is my favourite prop to release tight shoulders and strengthen core. Lying along the length of it allows one sense the shape of spinal curves, get movement in thoracic spine (mid-back), opens chest and lungs to facilitate better breathing. P.S. I sell them in my shop!
