Back on the Wunda Chair 🙌

After a summer of mainly mat work post-pregnancy (which has been amazing to re-build strength) my body was seriously craving the springs. 🌀

In Classical Pilates, the springs aren’t just about resistance, they teach your body.

They guide alignment, open posture, deepen stretches and wake up muscles that can go ‘offline’, especially after pregnancy.

The few Wunda chair exercises I did released my upper back, woke up those deep core muscles and lifted my posture in a way the mat alone can’t.

Mat work is brilliant (and essential) but there was a reason Joseph Pilates designed a full system using apparatus.

Each piece, from the reformer, wunda chair, tower and barrels work together in restoring strength and balance back into the body.

For new mamas out there, it’s a game changer as the springs support and guide you.

That’s why I love this method, it’s a system, it meets you where you are and using Classical springs just hit different.

It’s not about quick fixes, it’s about rebuilding strength intelligently with intelligent movement patterns on intelligent apparatus. 💪🏼

Feel the springs, feel the difference ✨

The Tendon Stretch ✨

This exercise isn’t just about flexibility or “getting your heels down.” It’s a whole-body connection.
 An opportunity to explore how breath, control, lift and length all work together. 🙏🏼

On the Reformer, Tendon Stretch reveals how evenly you can load through the feet,connect through the legs, and lift up out of your centre.

This week, I’m cueing my fabulous teacher Emily to refine her movement. To find that deeper internal connection rather than following the rhythm (which is also important in this exercise)

We slowed it down… To feel and to move from a place of true inner strength 💪🏼 the kind that builds that internal heat 🔥 or shower 🚿 as Joseph Pilates called it.

Over the next two weeks I’ll share how we continued to build on this, exploring Tendon Stretch through other apparatus,new cues and subtle shifts to find even greater connection.

Keep your eyes peeled next week for where else we explore another deeper intention of Tendon stretch.

Why Hands-On Adjustments Matter in Mat Pilates

In Mat Pilates, we don’t have springs, straps, or bars to strengthen, lengthen and support us.

That’s why I always remind teachers and apprentices that our hands and bodies become the apparatus on the mat.

Hands on adjustment aren’t just about “fixing” a client. They’re about helping clients feel alignment, connection and activation in a stronger way.

Through intelligent hands on, we can: 
✨Provide better alignment and movement
✨Support activation of the right muscle engagement
✨Encourage release where there’s tension
✨Deepen body awareness

These tactile cues bring a whole new level of understanding and results to a clients practice one that words, or demonstration alone can’t always achieve.

Because in Pilates, especially on the mat, your hands are the bridge between instruction, experience and ultimately results.

Let me know if you have any questions as Pilates teachers that I can help with for future posts.

Meet Geoff & Mike, proof that Pilates isn’t just for ballerinas and bendy influencers.

Every week, these two show up to their duet session at our Primrose Hill studio, putting in the work, sharing a few laughs, and walking out taller, stronger, and more energised.

It also helps keep their bodies as young as their minds.😁

Pilates is for every body, at any age and any level. Consistency is what matters, and these two have nailed that!

Thinking about trying a duet session? Bring a friend and we’ll take care of the rest. 💪

Let’s clear this up once and for all, classical Pilates is anything but boring 😴

Yes, there is a set sequence in the mat and reformer.

Yes, you might repeat many of the same exercises over time. But that’s where the magic is, in the depth, the precision, and the evolution of your own body and practice.

At Exhale, we don’t just teach choreography.

We teach a system, one that was intelligently designed to progress you across the mat to the Reformer, to the Cadillac, Wunda Chair, High Barrel and beyond.

Every time you return to the work, you meet it with a new body, a new awareness, a new challenge.

💡 What seems “basic” on day one will humble you on day 100.

The same exercises reveal new layers when you’re being taught by someone who truly understands the system, and that’s what we specialise in.

So no, classical Pilates isn’t boring.

It’s a discipline, intelligent and a craft. A method that, when practiced with intention and guided properly, continues to challenge and transform you for years.

And if it feels boring?

You probably haven’t experienced it properly yet.

It’s not for everyone, but if you want to truely transform your body and mind for life Exhale is the place to do it!
