( The full clip is coming soon!)

As a ambassador, I was the first Pilates (let alone male) Ambassador in the UK.

Then dragging fellow ambassadors and super human specimens to the studio, kicking and screaming!.
Fast forward to the Pilates scene now!

The Motr offered this, amongst a great range of conditioning, balance, restorative and Pilates based options!

This one’s for you Motr creator, 🤗

Thank you and 🙏🏼 Happy memories .
And 😊

Observe, anticipate, set the purpose.

A SNEAKY VIDEO FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS

In Reformer 2, a slight deviation from the manual, discussing the merits, layers and expected patterns in Down Stretch.

What do the students observe?

A QUICK UNPLANNED MESSAGE
To say how lucky we are to be working in this business.

And to thank you, my peers, students and clients. 🙏🏼

No need for more, just listen:))

PART 2 OF A SEQUENCE I POSTED RECENTLY
Multi-tasking, moving and talking!:)

Kneeling arms and Archer pose.

Don’t sue me, but our work in Pilates has so many overlaps with gym work. It underpins our strength training.

This type of sequence can be challenging, yet functional and rewarding.
So many points of reference to consider.

Lower & upper body
Balance
Scapular stability
Resistance from below
Varied unilateral resistances
And more…
Even a 1.5 kg weight starts to feel heavy.

The power source and platform for the arms - Trunk integration and the back.

There’s a lot to cue here! 😊

PILATES IS AN INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE
Why?

Because we have so many tools to teach with. And it’s not always the most obvious ones that work best.

Our words often don’t land first, its intonation , body language, expression (smiles you don’t see, but sense).

See our French Farah, in action here. Physical expression, gesticulating, teaching and speaking in her native tongue to her international fellows.

And that sound of breath 😮‍💨, everyone follows! Priceless!
