Online Pilates

[LunaTheCat]

I have just discovered Pilates.
I have always done yoga but I feel that I am toning up better with pilates. I am going to reformer Pilates classes .. but they are so expensive! Can anybody recommend an online Pilates class using a mat .. and maybe some basic props like a circle?

Do you mean videos or an actual instructor who does zoom classes?

The Girl With The Pilates Mat. Youtube. Live pilates class at 10am UK time and all the past ones are available.

Every Friday at 10am.

Second for girl with a Pilates. Rachel is amazing and you can pay for the lessons through a voluntary donation. Tim Sinesi is also amazing .. he's a yoga teacher but there is a lot of Pilates/core work in his YouTube classes.
Just did the standing Pilates from Girl with a Pilates.. perfect in this heat as she's also struggling to keep cool . Other good ones are move with Nicole and Lottie Murphy

If you are looking for taught zoom lessons I cannot recommend Heidi too highly. I hated exercise and had no muscles or coordination, she has made such a difference. She is eagle eyed on form, correct faults and demonstrates so it is very safe. There are classes of differing levels and she does one to one lessons as well. You do have to pay but for an hour’s lesson she is very reasonable and she was putting free places in some classes.

Mat Pilates is very different to reformer. I have done both for many years and in my opinion mat is similar to yoga, reformer is totally different and gets you much better results if you want Pilates to keep you fit, count as weight bearing exercise etc. I am a reformer addict though (but yes, it is expensive).

Lottie Murphy. Some free on your tube and her paid channel is here www.lottiemurphy.com/
also does live zoom classes

My dh has got much stronger just doing a couple a week, she has a big range and goes beyond the classical mat pilates I had done before.
