Brilliant class. I love the slow pace, making it possible to get in the right positions without strain. My back feels longer and more flexible. Thank you Rachel!!

Rachel, you can't imagine how much your classes give me. You explain everything very well. Thank you.

@@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat I’m ever so grateful for these videos. I just have a question about the move at 19:29 - I almost couldn’t do the roll over to the knees. It was quite hard for me. Which of your routines could I look into next to work on that?

Thank you Rachel! :) Brillant practice 💛🙏

Loved this class my back feels amazing

Thank you so much Rachel, that’s really helped my back! I’ve just started childminding with my 7 month old granddaughter & I’m really feeling it in my back after all the lifting & bending. Plus gardening, my back was definitely needing some special exercise😊. This was perfect 😊

Hi hi I am 53 yrs old and love doing your classes I can see muscle build up and am so flexible...Don't need other classes Thanku ..for your time

Excellent thank you

Thank Rachel! Gardening killed my back and you revived it ☺️

Great day 25! Perfect after a yoga practice involving a wall, straps and being upside down!

That was the best stretch I’ve had in a long time, will do this most every day until my back feels better. Thank you so much for your time.

Gracias!

Thank you for a very good workout 💐

My whole body is all opened up and relaxed after the workout. Thank you. Have a great day.

Loved the stretching. It was brilliant after loads of gardening.

I couldn’t make the live session but have had a great start to my morning. Thanks for the routine 😊

Am still coming back to this back workout, it feels so good, especially after working in the garden. It's in my favourites.

I was feeling poorly yesterday and slept for more than 12 hours and my back is as stiff as a plank, this exercise came in timely. It has ease a lot. Thank you very much.

Absolutely delightful stretchy session ❤, very gentle and wonderful for those of us with achy backs and sit a lot!😊

Thank you, I thought that it was going to be quite easy going/too easy but it really got going. Thank you for including exercises for upper back!

Hello Rachael Wonderful and energetic work out.. Love the stretches.

Thank you so much for this class today. Just what I needed. It helps a lot. You are amazing.🙏🏾💖

Caught up with this brilliant class having done a lot of gardening and been too busy to do my regular class and these exercises as instructed by your excellent self has really eased a very stiff back. Thank you 🙏 🎉

I very much enjoyed your class 😊 But I must tell you I HAD suffered with chronic back issues and migraines for many years. I was taking a lot of pain killers and doing various treatments, but to no avail. Since I started your classes from March 2020, they have gone and I am virtually pain free. So I Thankyou Rachel from the bottom of my heart for giving me my life back ❤❤❤ You truly are a special person.

Hi Ana, Try this video for releasing tension in the feet, I think it will help:kzread.info/dash/bejne/onarqKtrY8ann5s.html 🤗

Could you please explain the purpose of proper inhaling and exhaling. Thank you

Hi, Rachel, Another great session! Sorry I missed the live chat as I have a question. Oftentimes when I am doing any position that requires the top of my feet to be flat on the floor, my toes start to cramp up and I have to bring my toes forward to counteract the cramp in order to get the muscles to release. I'm guessing that I probably need to practice stretching the muscles on top of my foot while turning my toes under in order to stretch out those muscles, but wondered what you think? It is very difficult for me to get my big toes to turn under (or bend downward at the joint). Any recommendations for facilitating this movement? Thank you. --Jan

I just learned the other Day, that Sit ups and Crunches are not healthy at all. Can you show some alternativ exercises?

Absolutely. Do you have a specific medical condition? Or would you just like to see some options? All the exercises , stretches and mobility work in this session will ease generalised back pain. But I can point you to other vídeos if you have a medical condition? 🤗
