The “Let’s De-Stress” 7 Pilates inspired exercise series focuses on releasing tension and relaxing after a long busy day at work/family errands. You will also tone areas around your neck, chest, back, and legs which have either been over-used in stressful positions from your day, or immobile due to long hours sat behind the desk or car. This short video is great to practice on daily basis as you’ll feel less constricted, your breath will slow down to a healthier pace and your mind will de-clutter, all while reinvigorating your system again. So clear out your room and press play to begin!

We live in a hectic and “stressed out” world. Life seems to move at a faster pace than ever, leaving us no time for ourselves—no time to relax or just have fun. Everywhere you look, people are ‘running around like chickens without a head”, going from one errand to another, driving to work and sitting in traffic, dealing with the kids, the in-laws and the ‘outlaws”, giving up on taking vacations, talking and texting on cell phones and computers 24/7, Tweeting and FaceBooking into the wee hours of the night—the list goes on and on. We seem to be “dragging’ all the time waiting for the weekend and when the weekend comes, we collapse on the couch– too tired to do anything. “Stressed to the max” and “I’m on my last nerve” are now common expressions in society.

As Pilates instructors we know that the benefits of Pilates are far-­‐reaching. Pilates is so much more than just a series of exercises, it is a mind-­‐body therapy that changes the way we move, think and interact. Far from just toning and sculpting, Pilates alters the way we move and hold our bodies in everything we do.

The benefits of Pilates can be seen clearly in the workplace. The typical office worker is overstressed, out of shape, and run down. They are typically shallow breathers, slouchers and may suffer Occupational Overuse Syndrome. Pilates, with its unique series of exercises, is able to correct all of these things. It teaches us correct movement patterns and breathing technique and improves posture.

By now we’ve all heard the latest buzzword in fitness – the Core. We know core conditioning is important, and some of us may even have rushed out and bought the revolutionary Swiss ball, or joined a Pilates workout in an attempt to strengthen our core.
