Love your comments in the chat about the brain and spine, so true as I’ve learned over the last few years rehabbing after brain surgeries. Your Pilates sessions have been a tremendous help with balance and ataxia issues, along with allowing me to keep my strength and flexibility, and even get some cardio with your recent excellent classes. You’re a lifesaver!🥰
I always listen to the chat after your classes, even when it I don't do it 'live'.... It's so helpful , with guidance, explanation and so much positive encouragement .I completely agree that consistency is the key to improvement in body strength and it's so wonderful when you realise.... 'wow I did it' . We are so lucky to have found you Rachel you are fabulous person , full of kind , positive actions and conversation..... x
good morning from a cold Yokohama, Japan. I did some yoga a few days ago & ended up💖💜💙💛💚🐧 injuring myself. I quit.. I much prefer, at 61, to stick with you ! It was a great class today. Thank you!
Great session. I have been going hard on your previous abs and arm video, so it is good to have another. Wherever I don’t feel like exercising, I start your videos and quickly forget. xx
I haven’t been able to enjoy your videos for several days so did the super 20 min Posture one just before this one. Both incredible and loved the variety. The last balance maneuver on this is going to take LOT OF PRACTICE‼️ Thank you Rachel🥰
Hi Yvonne, lovely to hear from you and well done for doing two videos! Yes that last one is pretty advanced! A great challenge and one to work on! Keep up the great work Yvonne, very proud of you ❤️
Wow! Challenging 🥵 and satisfying, glad I saved this for a “strength day” workout, great for arms, back and core! Tricky little move into the teaser at the end, love these challenging moves you bring us, keeps things fresh and interesting, and let’s us see how far we’ve come over the last couple years.😉👍🏻💪🏼💙💛💙💛
Oh we really have, we've been on a wonderful journey haven't we?! Onwards and upwards to continued health and happiness x And may I say how proud I am of how hard you have worked post brain surgery to rehabilitate yourself. You really are an inspiration Sue ❤️
I so look forward to looking at all your videos to pick one to workout to, u have so much variety I love it & I'll keep trying to do ALL of your videos. Thanks so much! ❤
Hi Rachel, I did this and the Scoliosis workouts and they really helped me to loosen my back. Really enjoy the recent knee workout with the cushion as my VMO muscle needs strengthening. I miss the snippet with you and Boo! It made me smile. I would like to see a small pilates ball or stretch band mat workout. Thanks so much!
Great addition to October week 3 playlist, ataxia still makes some exercises difficult on right side, but I did much better than at the beginning of the year, when this first came out! So, progress! 💪🏻😊All thanks to you, and your positive, meticulous instruction! Thanks for all you do for us!🧡💛💚💙
Hi Rachel! Thank you for giving so much thought into our sessions that you provide! It is so impressive. Interesting, about 5 years ago I did those exercises on the Reformer. It seemed to be easier than on the mat. Yep, some of those movements were really a challenge for me.
Ah that's interesting, I always think the reformer exewrcises are much easier than the mat! But so glad they were familiar and you enjoyed them. Maybe you;'re just so much fitter now with all the mat pilates you'be been doing! Keep up the great work! 😊
Hi Rachel. Enjoyed this challenging routine. I have worked on the reformer, this was great for arms. I just love your instructing style. So positive and encouraging. Besides a routine for that time of the month ( those days passed for me ;) how about one for after vacation! I returned 3lbs heavier, and sluggish after recent trip. Need to get myself straightened up now! Maybe a blend type routine? I know you will create something food for us all. Want to try your scoliosis routine soon, just for spine health.
Oh that's lovely! I am so glad you found me too as I love to help people feel better in mind and body. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Lots more fun to come 😊
Great variety of movements especially for abs, "one more" she says😅! Thank you again for the super session and I will also look forward to Sunday's session. 🙂
Sorry to hear that Kate but try and pleased and proud of what you can do. We’re all different and pilates is about making the best of what you can do. Take care, Rachel
Hang in there Kate. Pilates is challenging. Been practicing over a decade, and it can feel like that. Work your way up to this routine. A little bit in good form is better then hurting or straining yourself. :)

I try to do everything but that was way too difficult for me. A bit demoralising.
