Full body Pilates class with stretches
Enjoyable all over Pilates workout
This Pilates class begins with a warm up of our arms and legs in standing before rolling down into a press up position on the mat.
We then continue in four-point kneeling with some stretches and core control.
The class continues with some exercises to challenge our glute muscles on our sides with a clam exercise. We then continue on our backs with a bridge exercise before advancing on to our move of the month – the one leg stretch.
We round off this class with some relaxing stretches incorporating leg stretches and some upper body stretches in sitting.
As with most of our classes, we offer a range of levels throughout. Please work to the level that suits you. 🙂
PLEASE NOTE – this class is part of a related series, specifically looking to work on improving the body’s lumbo-pelvic control through the one leg stretch exercise.
This is class two of four of the series. Other classes in the series include:
- Core, legs, back and glutes Pilates class (40 minutes)
- Full body Pilates class with hip focus (42 minutes)
- Core, Pelvic floor and upper body (26 minutes)
The class can be enjoyed by itself or as part of the series. This is class one of the series.

Lovely class, thank you. I used to practise Pilates regularly but have done none (aarghhh!) for about 5 years. This is my first (very creaky) experiment back into it after lots of back and hip problems and I very much like your style. It’s also great for me that you teach the APPI system which is what I learned before. I’ll definitely aim to use your online classes on a regular basis from now.
Hi Cathy, thanks for your comment and I am very pleased you liked the class and plan to do some more Pilates! All the best. Vicky
Thank for a good workout.
I really enjoyed this class, as I have been getting quite stiff in the hips over lockdown. This was a good combination of workout and stretches. Thank you.
I’ve tried a few of your classes and am really enjoying them. You explain things so well. Thank you.
I just wanted to thank you for a great workout, I really enjoying it.
Thanks for these classes. I’ve just started getting back into pilates and after my first one I feel great! I like the way the instructions are clear and your approach is down to earth and really inclusive. In short I feel like I’m in a local class and not looking at some Hollywood studio set. Well done. I look forward to doing a few more and I’ll definitely be recommending your website.
Thank you Linda. I am glad you are enjoying the classes!
Very enjoyable class. I love your short classes which I can squeeze in before I go to work but with more time this week I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for all you are doing to keep us moving.
Just found these classes, have missed my in person classes and haven’t found anything online I have liked until now. Will be coming back for more definitely.
Another amazing class. I enjoy these so so much. Your classes are really helping me get through lockdown. Thank you.
thank you for an amazing class.
Great class and very easy to follow, thank you
