'Body & Breathe'

The 'Body and Breathe' experience is about developing self-care skills working with Pilates principles and further exploring techniques in:

​

• Neuro-lymphatic activation, relieving facial tension and diaphragmatic breath work

 

To connect with your body, recognising its uniqueness 

​

Key Pilates focus here being:

• Strength, Length, Stability, Mobility, Breath

• Alignment of our bones and joints and reducing strain

• How we use our whole body in posture & movement

 

Our body can tell us a lot by:

• The way the pelvis rests

• Our posture position, from feet to the crown of our head

• Where we are tight or flexible, strong or weak, stable or unstable.

 

If there is an exercise you thrive on, enjoy it. If you experience pain or strain, we may instead approach the exercise differently. I shall offer options in the videos and leave this decision largely with you...

 

Listen to your body:

• if a progression offered – try it because you know it’s good for you

• If it doesn’t feel right or you are unsure, perhaps choose not to ‘push through’.

 

In these videos, we will pay particular attention to:

• Pelvic Position

• Lengthening the spine

• How we align our joints

• Even distribution of weight bearing throughout our body

• Engaging our deep abdominal muscles, including our Pelvic Floor

​

Follow the progression of videos offered below, concluding with the breathing exercise (see link below). They are presented in modules so you may take one step at a time, or all at once if you desire.
