Meet the Electric Chair, a powerful piece of apparatus within the Classical Pilates system.

From building strength and stability to challenging balance, control and precision, the Electric Chair offers endless possibilities.

POV: Vibration plates are cool but have you ever tried the hundred?

💡Did you know Joseph Pilates created exercises to boost the lymphatic system (amongst other things) which he called the ‘internal shower’.

So the next time you’re putting off doing the hundred remind yourself it’s cheaper than a vibration plate, does the same thing, plus it’s a full body workout 🔥

Classical Pilates and strength training are like bread and butter. Good on their own. Better together.

Pilates teaches you to move well. Strength teaches you to move heavy.

Together they build a body that lasts.

Slow down before you speed up.

Such an important Pilates lesson and not a bad mantra to take into the weekend either. 🙌🏼☺️

Yesterday’s advanced workout with some of our apprentices was the perfect example.

The advanced work isn’t just about harder exercises. It’s about understanding how everything you have learnt through the system connects and gets you there.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come from breaking an exercise down, going back to the connections underneath it and understanding what the body needs before you build speed, stamina and flow.

This is where the dots either join or show you where they still need work.

And that’s where using the system becomes so powerful and why going back to ‘beginner’ exercises with an advanced mindset becomes so powerful (and hard 🥵)

Flow through the body. Flow between the exercises. That’s Strength, control, stamina and connection working together.

Go too fast and you can lose the connections.
Go too slowly and you can lose the rhythm and intention.

The real skill is knowing the work well enough to find both. 💪🏼

A great reminder that sometimes slowing down first is exactly what allows you to move forward with better clarity and strength!

Happy Friday everyone ❤️

Our @pilatesstylemagazine is about to touch down in London!

You’ve all seen the cover shot, but which number would you have chosen from these selects? 1, 2, 3 or 4?

Be honest, did we nail it or did we miss the best shot?

3 of the best pieces of Pilates apparatus to undo upper-body tightness after a full-on week!

Beth (owner of @the.reformer.room) came in feeling tight through her upper back after training, working, running after the kids and spending too much time over a laptop.

So we used three pieces of apparatus, using the intelligence of the Pilates system.

1. Spine Corrector To open the upper back, release the hips and give the body a chance to soften before asking more from it.

2. Electric Chair (also known as the High Chair ☺️) To keep the space we created on the Spine Corrector, but now connect to building strength and control throughout the body.

3. Teacher’s hands-on (one of the most important)  I always say that sometimes the most intelligent apparatus of all is a teacher’s hands, especially when done with intelligence and purpose. It gives the body a sensation it can understand, organise around and eventually recreate on its own (especially in mat work)

Three tools. One goal

To feel re-energised and that’s exactly how Beth felt after ✨

The perfect antidote to end a busy week. 💪🏼

If you too want to counter act how your body (and brain) feels after a busy week, book a private 1-1 or find one of our new barrel classes on the schedule so you can also feel the incredible benefits when you use the Pilates system has on your body 🙌🏼
