This has been a recurring theme in classes over the last 15 years I’ve been teaching. ‘Why are my hips clicking?’ So I thought it was about time I made a video that featured all the ways you can release the hips, reduce the clicks and ease your way into smoother, freer movement. Comment ‘Clicky Hips’ and I’ll drop you a link to this FREE session on my YouTube channel. Have a great day, Much Love, Rachel ❤️

I wanted to share my latest blog post with you today as a gentle reminder that it doesn't matter where you are in your Pilates Journey, what matters is you enjoy it, you do it at your pace and you revisit the beginners sessions to remind yoursleves of the fundamentals. I've now created a whole new Beginners page on my website with starter sessions, 7 and 30 day challenges- all with downloadable wallcharts so you can tick off the sessions as you do them.

That said, maybe you know someone who wants to get started but can't find the right class locally, or prefers to exercise at home. Then do read and share the love!
Have a wonderful day,
Much love,
Rachel ❤️

This was a question that I got asked in my livestream chat on YouTube, 'I’m 60, have never exercised, how do I start?’ I think there’s an assumption that everyone knows how to exercise but there may be many reasons why people haven’t exercised before, and ( quite rightly ) are worried about ...

At Home Pilates Ring Workout | 40 Minute Full Body Workout | Beginner to Intermediate Pilates

Today’s new video on my YouTube channel is a full body workout using the pilates ring aka magic circle. The ring is a great piece of kit for your home workout - it adds a strong level of resistance to the muscles and is very effective at targeting those hard to reach areas such as inner thigh and upper arm muscles as well as giving you all the usual benefits of a great pilates workout. This session will incorporate both beginner and intermediate exercises to give you a full body, strength workout which may even leave you a little sweaty! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Link in today’s story and full weekly playlist in my bio. Much love, Rachel ❤️

There’s lots to enjoy in this week’s FREE pilates playlist on my YouTube channel. From beginners to pilates explorers you’ll find something new and different to experience. As a long time lover of the method I have seen the joy and sense of achievement it can bring when you allow yourself to play. So dump the idea of getting the perfect pilates body, and embrace the idea of curiosity, of play, of exploration and wellbeing. Your body will change anyway, but it’s more important to change your mindset first. Have fun and give this playlist a go. Much love, Rachel ❤️ Link in bio 🤗

Looking out over the beautiful Welsh countryside from the top of Mount Snowden was a moment of peace I will never forget. You realise how small and fragile we really are and how important it is to reconnect with yourself and the world around you. Nature is a great healer, whether you’re overworked, overwhelmed, coming to terms with a change in your life or just in need of a good rest- nature is the greatest healer. Here’s a snippet of my digital detox

06/06/2025

Hello beautiful people, taking my own advice and having a digital detox. Back on the 17th ❤️ I’ll be out in the real world connecting with people, with nature and reconnecting with myself. Until then, why not look through past content on here, check out my YouTube channel, my weekly playlists which will continue whilst I’m offline and my wellbeing blog on the website. There’s plenty of feel good information to get you moving and feeling more positive. All links in my bio. Until the 17th take good care of yourselves, you deserve to feel good in mind and body.
Much love,
Rachel ❤️❤️❤️
