Hello lovely people! Many of you have asked that I make a longer session so I have recorded this wondertul 40 Minute class for you. It is ideal for those times when you want to completely switch off and move into a longer, more focused session. Do let me know how it was for you in the comments below x

Hello Rachel and all from New York! You’ve kept me sane and fit since the beginning of Covid. I have been doing Pilates for many years, and like everyone else, my gym had been closed. I did Pilates twice a week for years, and am 69 years old. I missed it so much, until I found you! You are really a wonderful instructor and as a New Yorker, absolutely love your accent! So much nicer than mine!!!! If there is anyway I can send you some money as gratitude for all these many months of workout, I would be happy to! I can’t wait to try this workout! Stay well and safe. With much gratitude from America!!!

Great workout: it starts easy and slowly becomes quite challenging ! I love the pace, your comments, the exercises, the short series of 4 to 6, its length: 40 minutes are better than 30 . I like it all ! Thank you!

I just love love love your sessions so much! I am in Canada--I've been doing your workouts for about 5 months now. You are the best Pilates teacher in the world! I hated Pilates before I discovered you! I discovered you when I googled exercises for a sore back and your video came up and it was almost like an instant cure and I've been addicted to your workouts ever since....feel stronger with each workout. Your instructions are superb, absolutely can do it just following your voice instructions even without watching the laptop it's so good! And your voice is so calm and pleasant and your manner so lovely I just can't wait to finish my day doing one of your fabulous sessions. Thank you thank you Rachel.

Rachel, this is just the most perfectly paced routine, I find I can do it with my eyes closed and totally focus on every muscle I'm working, your voice is so clear and each move so clearly explained ...a big Thank you to you x

[suedepinto]

Still a wonderfully challenging session, great prompts help me be mindful of my form and positioning, thanks so much!😊❤

[suedepinto]

Excellent refresher on the beginning to intermediate moves, your prompts were excellent and mindful, helped me remember how and why we do each move, how we should be breathing, the position of the body, great stuff! Challenging 🥵 session on its own, but just a wonderful reminder as well! Thanks for including this on the playlist!😊❤

[suedepinto]

Wonderful, challenging 🥵addition to March playlist! I was up to the workout before this one, but saw there was a bit of challenging (for me) standing movements at the beginning - I’ve tried that one, but not too good for me with all the standing bits. I knew this would be a challenging yet safer workout, and it was, just as I remembered! Thanks for giving us these terrific playlists, we can dip in and out, or shift them around based on our time, health issues, energy level x and still enjoy an effective session.💪🏻🤗

[debbiebaker]

I was worried that 40minutes would be too long but you made the time fly by-you are such a great teacher -enjoyed getting back to basics -thank you ❤️

[terri]

I really did not think I would be able to manage 40 minutes but it went so quickly and I amazed myself by completing it, feel so good now both from the Pilates but also from being able to do something I didn't think I would be able to do.

Stretches. This make my body feel so good.

Thank you so much .❤❤

[suedepinto]

Great session to kick off December playlist, week 2!😮‍💨😊🎄❤️💚

[suedepinto]

Another wonderful session- I love these mat sessions that combine core, strength and flexibility challenges! Your calm, low-key yet professional and detailed instructions help me with proper form for an effective session, and keep me from flopping about - well, flopping about more than necessary!😂😬🥵 Thanks so much for all you do, you’re the best!❤️💕👍🏻💪🏼💪🏼

[katecarey]

Thank you as always, don’t know how I missed this one. Brilliant as always Rachel 🙏👌🌼💕

[suedepinto]

Just did your 10 minute neck standing session, then right into this mat session as my August Pilates Retreat workout of the day - great kickoff to another steamy, possibly stormy August day, and great self-care with all of the horrific news engulfing our sad world - you are truly a healing ❤️‍🩹 angel, a bright light in these dark times - thank you so much, my daily Pilates is a delightful taste of normalcy (and much- needed exercise, as it’s 🥵 here!) please take care, revel in your August break with Kerwin and Boo!💞🐕🐾🌊🌊🏊🏼‍♀️💪🏼👍🏻😊
