Morning Pilates and Yoga Inspired Stretch Routine | 30 Min Pilates | Girl with the Pilates Mat

[@clairepark879]

So I didn't think I was going to like this, having done Yoga years ago and found it a bit 'slow' for me, but how wrong was I? I love, love, love the mix. Really stretched me in places I didn't know existed, so, so good. I've repeated this every other day (muscles definitely know I've done a routine and need a bit of recovery!). Please, please do some more combined. One of my absolute favourites. Brilliant, thank you.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you so much for your comment Claire! Really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the combination and how you felt it! Well done ❤ I'll be sure to make more soon! xx

Due to an appointment I couldn't miss for my son yesterday, I have just completed 1/10/2024 month Challenge today, beautiful stretch, as I heal from falling twice Christmas week, it was a little challenging in the movements on the right knee, but hung in there and I am so GRATEFUL to you and these exercises! I'm off to do today's 1/11/2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤U

Really enjoyed the mix of yoga and Pilates. I struggle with pigeon pose though as I have limited hip mobility and find it painful

[@yvonnethompson3999]

Loved-loved-loved this combo stretch class❣️A must for frequent visits. Thanks so much for such great variety Rachel 🥰

[@janhamilton831]

Hi Rachel, I'm enjoying your challenge here in Brisbane Australia. I started a week later so am only up to day 10 today (17th). I laughed to myself at some of the poses where I am dripping with perspiration onto my mat and making it slippery. Don't suppose you have that problem in UK!! I will continue to sweat and slog my way through. Thanks again, Jan

[@shirleymoneanu477]

Thanks

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

My pleasure @shirleymoneanu - and thanks to you too! ❤️

[@DailyTrainingAdvisor]

Perfect way to start the morning!

[@stephaniebain466]

Loved the transitioning between the Pilates exercises as it makes the session flow

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you 😊

[@kimhowell6739]

This was a fabulous stretch! Thank you so much for your time!

[@kimb.2883]

A wonderful class Rachel, I enjoy these pilates-yoga combinations so much. Thank you!🐕

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing 🤗

[@DawnSutherland-g9s]

Loved this combo session Rachel. Adjusted slightly to suit my own body. The holds are a fab challenge.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Great to hear ! So glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@joancable9062]

I really enjoyed this mix. I have arthritis in my wrists so was limited slightly but stil a great class❤️

[@irenealdred9397]

I usually find yoga exercises quite difficult but this time it wasn’t too bad. My change-overs to other positions were not that smooth but I sort-of managed. Thank you xx

[@sallygreatorex2348]

Just done the yogalates, thankyou Rachel. Always find this time of year difficult with all the extra Xmas prep 😅 but made time this morning, lovely stretch x

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Wonderful! So glad you put that time aside for yourself xx

[@irenealdred9397]

I love this video normally but today I found the transition from one move to another quite difficult (just a bad day I guess).

[@DeeLockwood-o2q]

I was so stiff an sore today, feeling much better after this session, thank you!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

So glad! x

[@lynnblack6493]

Perfect. Just signed up for community class yoga. Not much Pilates here so you are saving me! Great combo!🎉

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Yay, thank you!

[@milliefeliciano5703]

this was such a good stretch simple but effective. You are great as always.. Thank you Rachel.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Glad you liked it!!

[@jaylinpalacio3229]

I have been interested in yogalates lately. I woke up this morning searching for a good yogalates video and was not able to find one. A little later, I was thrilled to see that you went live with a mixture of Pilates and yoga. I really enjoyed this workout. Please do more! ❤

[@irenealdred9397]

Still having problems transitioning from one move to another thank you.

[@VivienSheriff-r9m]

Thoroughly enjoyed the routine but I cannot put weight on my right shoulder so can’t do some of the exercises. Are there any alternative movements which I could do to strengthen my shoulder?

[@dn695]

Well 👍

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Well done 👏

[@mariemclellan1300]

Day 10😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

[@user-js4sb4qq2h]

Just wonderful and I love your fitness wear! especially the crop top and leggings matching sets. What companies do you wear?!

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Thank you! I wear a mix of We are Tala, Sweaty Betty, Bamboo Clothing Uk mostly. The matching sets are all from We are Tala 🤗

[@denisestearns5015]

Rachel, I am excited to give this new workout a try! Mostly, I do the standing only routines for a couple of reasons. I have quite a lot of arthritis in my hands and wrists. Leaning on my hands is far too painful. I also have Parkinson’s disease and my left hand no longer opens all the way. I wonder if you have any suggestions, for how to do mat work with this problem.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Helo Denise, lovely to hear from you. I am delighted you are going to give this a try, let me know how you get on. Totally understand about your challneges, my advice would be to do what you can, leave out what doesn't feel good for you and with your left hand, if weight bearing like a cat exercise, can you make a fist and do it that way? If not just do what you can, I'll continue to think of options for you xx

[@irenealdred9397]

👍

[@michellewyer4528]

Could I ask you please Rachel to put 'no knees ' in the title of the workouts? There's a lot in this I couldn't do because of knee and wrist problems.

[@cxg7381]

Are these exercises okay for a person with osteoporosis and scoliosis.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Hi there, I don’t think this one would be a good session for you as there are quite a few movements you need to avoid. I recommend you do my Osteo friendly workout from 2 weeks ago- Standing Pilates and Ballet Wall Workout for Seniors | Osteo Friendly | Beginner Friendly Routine kzbin.infoRY7ML4LKD7s?feature=share 😊❤

[@ibolyabenedek7070]

❤😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

🤗

[@annebegg3458]

Enjoy the yoga/pilates mix but, with very arthritic hips, find pigeon pose impossible 😊

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

So glad you enjoyed it, the piegeon pose is a challenge I know, leave it out if it's too uncomfortable for you or youcan try the option I suggested in the session byjust opening your knee out witrhout putting any weight on it, or trying to get down to the mat. As long as you get a little stretch and no pian xx

[@suedepinto2016]

Don’t know why my comment didn’t show, but thanks Rachel 😊❤

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

You're welcome Sue xx
