A short, 10-minute sequence that's a great total body workout. All low impact and inspired by modern, functional Pilates, focusing on strength, endurance, co-ordination, balance and flexibility.

A brilliant side-lying sequence for warming up and mobilising the shoulders, as well as stretching the chest pectoral muscles. This was filmed as part of Intermediate Pilates class 12, but we decided to share it on its own too as it's a really great one for everyone to try!
