How good is therapeutic Pilates
After 5–6 weeks with no Pilates — and a virus that completely knocked me around — I finally got back on my Ocean Pilates Equipment Cadillac today, it's my go-to when ever i have a bit of time off, or want a more stretchy session.
There’s something so incredibly therapeutic about working through a full-body session of release work, gentle stretching, mobility and strength. It’s the perfect way to reconnect with your body and can be tailored depending on how hard you want to work.
I started with breathwork and release, stretching to elongate the fascia, then gradually moved into strengthening, with a focus on bone placement and correct breathing for the movement.
After weeks of feeling tired, tight and the niggles started to creep in, I can already feel the difference. My body feels longer, lighter and re-balanced.
This is one of the reasons I love Pilates so much. It’s not always about pushing harder. Sometimes it’s about listening to your body, meeting it where it is, and giving it exactly what it needs on that day.
And after being unwell, my body definitely needed some TLC!
