One of the many things I love about my vocation of teaching Pilates is the creativity of making new exercises that are a full body experience- mind and body. I think this comes from a lifelong practice of dance, I love choreographing new ways to move and challenge my YouTube family as well as myself. By challenging the mind to coordinate movement and balance, it’s incredibly freeing and makes you live in the present, you cannot think about anything else and that in itself is a huge benefit to your mental and physical wellbeing. Take this exercise sequence I created for my recent Friday livestream on Pilates with Weights. It requires balance, coordination, breath, control, focus and strength to achieve. Sooooo good for you ❤️ Try it 🤗 You’ll find it in this weeks playlist and in the ‘Live’ section of my YouTube channel. Have a lovely weekend 🤗❤️

Well done — you showed up for your body❤️

If you completed my 7-Day Pilates Movement Challenge, I want to say well done.👏
Moving with intention for seven days — in whatever way your body allowed — is something to be proud of. It’s not easy to be consistent but you did it!

This challenge wasn’t about pushing harder or doing more. It was about showing up, reconnecting, and building trust with your body.

So what comes next?

If you’d like support continuing in a calm, consistent way, I share a weekly pilates playlist on my channel.
Each week, I hand-pick 7 videos to help you move, stretch, strengthen, or gently restore — depending on what you need.

✨ The playlist goes live on YouTube every Sunday morning, so you can plan your movement for the week ahead
✨ My supporters receive an early preview on Friday evening so you can plan your week ahead.

There’s no expectation to do everything.
Some days you might move for 5 minutes, others for longer — it all counts.

✨ Repeat the challenge whenever you need a reset
✨ Let your body guide the pace
✨ And come back to the 7 day playlist whenever you want gentle structure and support or take up my weekly playlist where you get a unique selection of videos every week.

This is about long-term movement, not quick results.
And I’m really glad you’re moving with me.

If you completed the challenge, leave a ❤️below. I’d love to hear how your body feels after these 7 days. Much love, Rachel ❤️

This is a good way to begin training the core in a lying down position. Pilates is very much a 360 movement practice , we learn to move, balance and control the body in all planes of motion. See my other posts for alternative ways to work the waistline.

This is from my Pre Pilates Warm up class which precedes my 7 days of Pilates 2026 challenge which you can find here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiAecv7YEF5hFgGUTqiO5rXdUUH84mook&si=nwgAu9UpY6bVL-KI Or click the link in my instagram bio.

Join me today and see what 7 days of Pilates can do for you. Hope to see you on the mat soon!
Much love,
Rachel ❤️

Let’s begin our Year with Kindness, Movement and a No Pressure invitation to Practice.

Hello my friends and a Very Happy New Year!

We’re beginning this January with a 7-Day Pilates Challenge 🤍 The challenge is simple, just show up for yourself each day and do 20 minutes of movement with me.

To ease into it together, we’ll start with a gentle prep session followed by 20 minutes a day for 7 days. If you want to join live, the sessions are will run every day this week for 7 days with a Pilates theme for each day, designed to help you understand the power of this movement method and give you you a great foundaton for your practice.

This is an invitation to move with care, build consistency without pressure, and begin the year in a way that feels supportive rather than demanding.

You’re welcome to join from the prep session, start on Day 1, or drop in whenever it feels right for you, there is no pressure to start on any given day , just decide what is right for you.

All sessions will be available for you to return to in your own time on the YouTube channel.

This challenge is here to support you — not to ask more of you.

Look forward to seeing you on the Mat.

Much Love, Rachel ❤️
