BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 NEW 30 DAY CHALLENGE STARTS MONDAY!

Hello my fabulous friends,

I hope you’re all feeling strong and inspired. I wanted to share some exciting news: I have created a special 30‑Day Pilates Playlist designed especially for September.

A step‑by‑step journey that builds your foundation, adds new challenges each day, and guides you smoothly from basic moves to flowing, intermediate sequences—so you finish stronger, more confident, and ready to level up your practice. Throughout the month you’ll also get introduced to small pieces of equipment (like resistance bands, light weights, and a Pilates ring) to deepen your work and keep each session fresh. Take your time, if anything feels too much, just go back and work on the earlier videos. Also, feel free to double on one of thoe days when you have more time and take a rest day. Make it work for you ❤️Remember this is YOUR practice. I am here to guide you, to help you and I hope, to inspire you. But ultimately this journey is yours. Be brave, challenge yourself to learn the movements, try new things, and to learn what works and doesn't work for you. We are all different, with different needs and challenges and what matters most is your enjoyment of moving. If you enjoy it, you'll keep doing it and that is what matters most. ❤️

I'll be taking a short break from my regular livestream classes but rest assured you will still get a new video Every Monday at 4pm and Every Friday at 10am. I will be a little quieter than usual as I am going to be focusing on a personal writing project as well as having a much needed rest. I will miss you all but I will be back LIVE - dates of the next livestream will be announced in a few weeks.

Until then,

Much Love,

Rachel ❤️

Hello dear friends,

You will be reading this on our National Holiday in the UK which marks the end of Summer. Traditionally, we all have Monday off which means we all take a little extended weekend break. We will be away ( in a field at a festival!) which means no new video on Monday but there will be a new LIVE class on Friday. I have started to put some longer workouts into this playlist to prepare you for our Autumn offerings and a new 30 day playlist challenge!

On Monday we have:

Full-Body Standing Pilates Workout for Seniors (Optional Weights) | 20 Min
youtube.com/live/jAAkMp-2oEM?feature=share

I really enjoyed creating this session for you, all standing with lots of challenges but simple movement patterns so you can focus on good technique when using weights. This was a previous live that I though was perfect for a Monday!

And on friday we have:

Standing Pilates Warm Up Exercises | 20 Min Full Body Pilates ( Beginner Friendly )
youtube.com/live/3R55Uo0g4Mo?feature=share

This gentle 20-minute standing Pilates warm-up is perfect for beginners, anyone returning to movement, or when you need a mindful reset — all in a small space, with zero equipment.


And here is next week's playlist and Free downloadable wall chart to keep you on track.

Summer Pilates Playlist September Week 1 2026

And onto the plan for the Autumn. I am working on ideas for a new 30 day playlist which will start around mid-september. I find most people get back into routine around this time so I'll be creating something new for you to follow.

Once I'm back next week, I will be diving straight into a day of filming. Wish me luck! Hoping for sunshine and a smooth day of filming!

Until next time, have a great Holiday Weekend and see you soon!

Much love,

Rachel ❤️
