25.01.2022 Group live Pilates class in action

24.01.2022 The Plank is a popular exercise in Pilates. Holding the plank position strengthens your core and gives your whole body a workout. This exercise tones your arms and legs, especially your shoulders, back, and abdominal muscles. However, you need to pay special attention to your body alignment when planking to prevent injury. You will need to ensure that your abdominal muscles are lifted, your spine is long and your neck is an elongated extension of your spine. Your shoulders sh...ould be relaxed with your scapula (shoulder blades) settled in the back, not popping up. Even though it might look like your legs aren’t doing anything, they are engaged in the movement and should be drawing in toward the mid-line of your body creating one long line from your ankles to your ears. Join me in a class soon and I will guide you through the correct technique to complete this exercise utilising the Pilates principles of concentration, control, breath and centring of your body.

22.01.2022 As well as defining your arms, working out with dumbbells leads to greater muscle activation and helps to balance your strength by providing equal load to both sides of your body. Join me for my small equipment class via Zoom on Wednesday at 9.30am or Thursday at 5.30pm. This week I am incorporating a great upper body workout with dumbbells, targeting shoulders, back and lats, as well as your biceps, triceps and pecs. Don't worry if you don't have a set of dumbbells, full w...ater bottles or cans of tomatoes will work fine! If you have a band, Pilates circle or Swiss ball, have them handy as well.

13.01.2022 When you think of Pilates, do you think that it just looks like a lot of small movements? Do you wonder what those movements actually do? The low intensity workouts offered in a Pilates matwork class have a long list of benefits. Focusing on stability and controlling your muscles provides you with increased mobility and strength. You will be able to move with ease and have a better range of movement, focusing on breathing and your core activation whilst performing slow, cont...rolled movements. Expect to receive a LOT of cues from me throughout the class to assist you with coordinating your breathing with the movements. Breathing in Pilates involves engaging your abdominal muscles with every move. Join me in a class soon to discover the many benefits of Pilates! Book in online via My Natural Health Clinic: https://www.mynaturalclinic.com.au Or via the direct booking link here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19342385 $10 per group class, $25 for one-on-one coaching See you online soon!

04.01.2022 The Standing Roll Down is a great exercise that you can practice any time, both to warm-up and cool-down. The rolling motion helps to improve blood circulation, strengthens your abdominal muscles and relieves back tension. The Roll Down creates space between your vertebrae, improves your posture as well as increasing mobility and articulation in your back, spine and neck, thereby restoring balance to your body. If your hamstrings are a bit tight, they will receive a good stre...tch during this exercise, however to receive the greatest benefit, roll down as slowly as possible. Keep your movement fluid and controlled, allowing your muscles to stretch evenly and your abdominal muscles to assist with controlling your movement. If you are feeling stressed, simply roll forward and let the weight of your arms and head relieve any tension, allowing it all to drop away from your body. Join me in a class soon so that I can guide you through the correct technique to complete this exercise.

04.01.2022 The Half Roll Back exercise not only strengthens your core, but also helps to create healthy movement in your spine. Many core exercises do a great job on your abdominal muscles, however don't help create a healthy spine. This exercise, like many other pilates moves serves a dual purpose in working both abs and back. When you roll back, keeping your movement slow and controlled, your lower abs are pulled in tight. Your spine gets a chance to practice mobility at the same time, as each part of your vertebrae moves separately. Performing the Half Roll Back on a regular basis will give you a stronger core and healthier back. Join me in a class soon to discover the benefits of this exercise when performed using the correct technique.
