So glad! Lovely to hear from you and wonderful to know your back feels better 🤗❤️

Loved this! I have been following your lower back and hip exercises for the past months before bed to help me sleep. It has been incredibly helpful. I tried this one for the first time just now and I feel wonderful and ready for bed. Thank you so much!!

Always love this one, after 2 days of standing on my feet

Thank you. It was a very nice subtle session for the lower back.

Since two days my lower back hurt so bad. Thanks for that class Rachel ❤

I put this video in my saved list. It was wonderful getting rid of my stiffness! I plan to do it frequently😍 Thank you Rachel!

Thank you. It was marvellous, one of the best workouts!

Regarding your live teaching, I really appreciate the fact you don't pretend to be perfect and leave in the wobbles and occasional confusion in counting! When I first started looking for a Pilates class I found the slick, highly edited videos very off putting. If I hadn't found your senior classes I would have continued to get old and immobile before my time. Instead of which I'm very proud of myself because, thanks to you, I can now do the intermediate c!asses which I wouldn't even have attempted when I started. Thank you for everything you do for us, you are an inspirational teacher

My husband has a sore back, so we did this together. I feel pretty good now. Thank you.

I have lower back pain the 2 bones almost rubing together so thanks for those back exercises

It was indeed therapeutic here in Uganda

5:30. Wonderful!! Really helpful, I will definitely use some of the exercises in the Pilates classes I teach. Lower back is feeling better already!

Thanks so much -I was in such pain after the holidays and now I am feeling so much better. This really helped, Rachel-wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!

Hi Rachel, I love your lower back routines. I find them so helpful and they definitely work. I really enjoy your routines, they make a huge difference, to my day.. Thank you.

You're so welcome Desney, lovely to hear from you and so good to know how they help you. Much love, Rachel ❤️

I really enjoy doing Pilates with you. Can pregnant women do these Pilates exercises the way in which you teach them as well?

Wow, that was fabulous, felt so good!😊 Just the ticket, been feeling a bit “meh”this week, not sure if it’s fall allergies or a cold, but this was so perfect, thank you, definitely one I’ll save and return to!😊❤

I just tried your Core Workout | Safe for Disc Issues, Osteoporosis and Osteopoenia and one for back pain. Great. Thank you. My question is how often should i be doing exercises like these and in sessions of how long if i really want to strengthen my very weak core. Thanks so much I felt they worked and look forward to seeing how my day goes.

Wonderful for my back.Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUR CLASSES ARE TERIFIC !!!

Thank you so much for this, Rachel! You do this with so much ease but when you're doing these exercises with all the right breathing an tummy-tucking, it's not easy at all! Especially for someone with very weak core-muscles like me... I'm even sweating now! Going to do this everyday for a whole week straight, to hopefully notice some improvement ;)

This was great Rachel. Really helped my sore back today. Thanks so much

Perfect pre COVID I was diagnosed with some form of dystonia in my right lower back muscles preventing me from standing and walking. I'll try the moves in this video. The only relief so far are sitting or driving or laying down ❤ mark

Thanks a mill for this session .. it was super helpful 😁

Fantastic routine! Stretched out my lower back and hips so well & in ways that I so desperately needed but didn’t know how to target. Also taught me how to challenge my core in a new way. Saved the video, thank you for sharing your knowledge!! 🙏🏻

Good afternoon Rachel. This is what I needed. Wonderful class. Since I arrived home from my vacation in Scotland I’ve had a dreadful cold. I’ve only been doing 10-15 minute videos. And got through a couple of 20 minute videos because I was exhausted and continuously coughing. I managed this whole video today. I feel stretched out and rejuvenated. Somehow my live chat has disappeared from your videos 😞 I haven’t been able to figure out how to fix it. Hopefully I can manage to resolve this issue. I miss reading the comments. It’s Thanksgiving 🍁 weekend here in Canada. So a time for family and gratefulness.❤️

Awww so sorry to hear you've been so unwell after your travels to Scotland. Please rest and give yourself time to rebuild your immunity and strength. Hopefully you'll get the live chat back, try the usual trick of switiching off and back on- that usually works for me! Take care and Happy Canada Day for this weekend, have a wonderful time with your family. Much love, Rachel ❤️

Thankyou Rachel this was just what I needed today I've been diagnosed with osteoporosis this week and have been so upset about it my back takes all my stress so this was great 👍 see you next time 🙋❤️

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat

Dear Julie, I was sorry to read you have been upset by your diagnosis of oestoporosis, that must have been very difficult for you. Getting a formal diagnosis can be very upsetting and unsettling too- do give yourself time to come to terms with it and know that this is not the end but a new beginning. There are so many things you can do to support the condition, the most important of which is to keep moving and tarining your body in multidirectional movements which will strengthent he muscles and in turn they pull on the bones which helps the bone create more bone. Do look at my Osteo-friendly videos on the channel- they are ideal for you and just as much fun to do. Here is one to get started with:kzread.infoE5yjqYdbWRk ❤️

When you inhale do you still keep your core pulled in?

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat

8 ай бұрын

Hi Ruth, when you inhale you want to focus on expanding your ribs sideways to allow more oxygen into your body as your lungs expand, I would focus on that. You can keep a littel core engagement, one of my original teachers used to say about 30% but it is quite a difficult technique and not always possible depending on the movement. The main objective is to keep your core engaged throughout the exhale as this is generally when the support is needed due to the effort of teh exercise. I always say 'exhale on the effort'! Hope that helps xx
