PILATES EQUIPMENT FOR SALE (Click here to learn more.)
Equipment is not essential for Pilates (although a suitable Pilates mat is a very good idea), and all exercises can be performed perfectly well without blocks, exercise bands and balls. Additional equipment can be very helpful though as you progress, enabling a wider variety of exercise variations, including more challenging ones. Some of these I will show you as alternatives in these classes. If you would like to purchase any of the equipment you see me using, please visit our online shop (opens in new tab):

This stretch section will cover the muscles we have been working throughout the class. Stretching is designed to return the muscles you have worked to their original lengths, and gradually improve your flexibility. Stretching is particularly important to ensure muscles don’t progressively shorten through exercise, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds. Use a block or ball to sit on if you are tight in the hip and back. Make sure you are sitting upright and can feel your sit bones below you.
Chit-Chat (Optional and Just for Fun!)
I do hope you enjoyed this fun Pilates class
