Morning Stretch | 10 Minute | At Home Pilates

Join me for a 10 minute morning stretch routine created to help you ease into your day by getting your body moving and feeling good. Using deep breathing along with gentle stretches and functional pilates movements you can use this on its own or as a pre exercise warm up before moving onto one of my other sessions. This practice is perfect for beginners, experienced pilates practitioners and anyone short on time or looking for a warm up before a longer deeper practice. You can also use this as a cool down post an intensive session when you need to unwind and relax. This session was filmed in real time with gentle background music and voice over to guide you.

Hola Rachel! I am Maria Consuelo from Mexico City. I am 75 years old and have loved doing your senior standing workouts during the pandemic. They have been so helpful to me during lockout. This video in your garden is so beautiful and your voice so calming! Thank you so much for such a lovely work helping us all over the world in these trying times. I just discovered your buy a coffee program! Is it still on? Perhaps I can learn how to use it and help a little in your good work. Muchas gracias y saludos!

That was really lovely, relaxing and effective! Almost hypnotic effect of your lovely grasses swaying in the breeze behind you - when you were on your side at the end, you liked like a mermaid at the bottom of the sea, swimming through underwater plants!👍🏻🐟🐠🐡🧜🏻‍♀️🌊🌊
