  • Join me for a standing pilates routine to improve spinal mobility and give you great posture. This is a full body pilates stretch and mobility session with exercises that include spinal lateral flexion, rotation and extension to really strengthen and lengthen all those spinal muscles. Great for body and muscle condtioning, as a prep for any sport or dance class or indeed just to get your spine feeling mobile, stretched out and relaxed at anytime of day. It really will improve your posture with regular practice too. This is a live session so do press the 'Notify Me' button to be sure you don't miss it. I'll be on the live chat after the session for any questions too.

    Excellent if challenging! I class myself as a senior pilates novice and anything that involves balance is good for me e.g. during the lunge section when I wobble a lot! Keeping my arms raised is difficult for prolonged times so I did adapt parts of the practice. I really felt the benefit afterwards! Thank you Rachel 😊

    • @TheGirlWithThePilatesMat
      @TheGirlWithThePilatesMat  Před rokem

      Hi Sophie, we all need to be able to bend forwards so my advice ( and also the recommendation form the Royal Osteoporois Society) is to move slowly, don't force your spine forward and that will be fine. I find with clients who have osteoporosis and osteopoenia that taking it very slow when flexing forward and really pulling in on the abdominals will help you feel more mindful of a quality movement that is controlled and therefore safe. Let me know how you get on 🤗
