Best online pilates classes im here for you - Online Pilates Classes

One of the things I struggle with is not making the time to do my Pilates workouts but having the time before and after the class. I’ve got the hour to do my Pilates practice. But, somedays the time to get to class, find a parking spot and then the time after to change and get where I am going is simply a luxury.

It’s one of the reasons I created my weekly online Pilates classes. My weekly mat classes are designed to feel like you went to the gym to take a class. You don’t have to choose which class to take. Just like when you go to the gym you have no idea what the teacher has in store for you. But you love them so you know you are going to get a great workout.

I wanted to make class easy for all levels to access and do anywhere in the world they were. I also wanted to provide the opportunity for Pilates lovers to take their Pilates practice to the next level. To feel the weeks theme in their body and learn the method. Pilates was meant to be done on the mat every day.

When you do your Pilates workout online with me you are up leveling your Pilates practice. You get the benefit of having me lead you through your workout and keep you flowing. With only 30 min to do the work, you can fit my Pilates classes into your schedule no matter how busy you are.

And, I love to do it with you! Each week I meet you on my mat as well. You’ll see me rock and sometimes flop. Because every day we hit our mats our bodies are different. We have the knowledge of our practice from the days before and the weight of our worlds affecting how well we move that day.

After teaching clients Pilates every day on my Pilates retreats I was privy to see how if you do show up on your mat each day for at least 30 min that on day six your body would be stronger and more connected than day one. I saw clients make strides in their strength that without the daily practice would have taken them months.

I wanted to offer this experience to everyone! Not just my retreaters. With my weekly mat classes, you can enjoy them as many times as you want until the next week. The class then disappears and our new class is put in its place.

All you have to do is show up!

Your subscription is only $5/week which is less than the cost of one in-person class.

And, if you have a request you can send them to me here. Want to learn one exercise specifically? Check out my youtube videos here.

Are you ready to meet your mat more regularly? I thought so! Here you go, I saved a space for you!

SUCH A TEASE

ONLINE MAT & REFORMER PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Teaser is probably one of the most photographed exercises in Pilates. Which makes people think it's a "peak pose." But, it's anything but! It's simply another layer to your Pilates practice. This week we will acknowledge how each exercise contributes to your ability to do Teaser (someday) and then how Teaser teaches you where to get curious in your practice.

On the Mat we will use light weights for one round of Teaser as they can be helpful for those still adding into their practice.
No props on the Reformer.

See you in class,

MAT EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Your awesome self, light weights and a Mat!

SWING LIFE AWAY

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

So much of Pilates movement we get to experience in the real world too! In class this week we’ll feel the similarities between swinging on a swing and movements in our Pilates practice. We will have fun imagining while we swing life away.

Mat props: Rod or a swiffer stick
Reformer Props: box, grip pad

See you in class,

WEIGHTS NOT WEIGHING YOU DOWN

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

Welcome to "Weights Not Weighing You Down"! In this class, we’re skipping the straps and we’ll be using light weights (1-2 pounds), or if you don’t have those, something like water bottles will do. I want you to notice just how much the straps and springs usually help, but more importantly, this is your chance to avoid muscling through the work. Let’s focus on finding where your arms move from your back and really connect to that throughout the class.

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

MEET ME AT THE BARRE

ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Have you ever done a Barre Workout? Yes, No, Maybe So?
While the moves may be a little different than what we’re used to, the spirit is pure Pilates!!

This month we’ll take the best of what Barre-work has to offer…think combinations of long and short movements, great breath focus, strength and flexibility training, or just adding a pole to our work..and we’ll apply these ideas to our 50 Minute Classes!

On the Mat, grab your Pilates pole or a Swiffer handle and a ball.
The Tower/Cadillac already comes with barres and poles, so let’s explore how to get the most out of this equipment!
On the Reformer: no added props
And the Wunda Chair: no added props

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

ABS, BACK, GLUTES, THIGHS

Online Mat, Reformer, Cadillac & Wunda Chair Pilates Class Descriptions:

Todrick Hall’s song “nails, hair, hips, heels” came on during one of my playlists, and it got my brain thinking of how to turn this song and use it for Pilates, and boom, here’s this month’s theme - abs, back, glutes, thighs. With Pilates being a full-body workout, think of this as your checklist as you work out this month since these are all connected while we practice all of our exercises on all of the apparatuses.

Abs, back, glutes, thighs, check, check, check, check!

Props for Wunda Chair: yoga block (or a couple of hardcover books)

See ya in class,
xx-LL 💋

PULL ME UP

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

The beauty of Pilates is based on lifting the spine in every exercise!

For years I tend to tuck my pelvis when doing Hundred, Roll-up, Teaser etc… I used to pull up from the wrong place and didn´t get the lift! This made my back feel bad, I‘ve got tight hip flexors and weak back body muscles. Since then I am exploring the longest round shape aka C-Curve and pelvic stability. I would love to share this with you in this week‘s Mat and Reformer Class. We will find ways to bend through our center spine instead of tucking the pelvis or rounding the shoulders which will help us to open up our low backs and making flexion safe.

Let‘s feel our center deeply!

Mat Props: Pole (Broomstick), Magic Circle, A small rolled up towel, Wall
Reformer Props: (Box, Non-slipping Pad), A small rolled up towel, Squishy Ball/Soft Ball

See you in class,

ONE AND DONE

Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

We are in a no judgement zone this week as we fly through the orders doing just one rep of each exercise before moving on!!!

Our “1 rep drill” or our “1 and done” theme is in its 3rd year, so it’s basically tradition to do class this week. It’s also been a favorite because I add in some accessible options for everyone to try.

If you’ve done this in the past, you know the Mat order goes FAST - so we’ll be doing a few rounds with props and no props. You can do the whole class or you can pick your favorite round and just do that! It’s a week filled with CHOICES!!

If you’ve done this in the past, you know the Reformer order is LONG - so I do cut just a few moves throughout to be as close to 30 minutes as possible. Again, I added accessible options throughout, so everyone can go through the order!

Remember we want you to embrace your own journey each time you practice and love practicing in your TODAY body!! If that means you follow my variations, perfect! If that means you go for your own, also perfect!

Get ready to be ONE & DONE!!

Mat: Resistance Band, Magic Circle, and Barrel/Blanket
Reformer: Resistance Band and Small Ball

See you in class,
Rachel

    MAGICAL MOMENTS

    Online Mat & Reformer Pilates Class Descriptions:

    I thought it would be fun to bring some magic into class with the Magic Circle. If you hate the Magic Circle, that's OK! Don't worry - we won't use it too much. It's a great prop to magically show you "ohh, that's the muscle you need!" when we're connecting arms to back or legs to seat. And then we learn how to get that feeling without using it. Let's make some magic!

    Mat props: Magic Circle or a ball or your imagination!
    Reformer props: Magic Circle or theraband or ball

    UP, UP, & AWAY

    ONLINE MAT, REFORMER, CADILLAC & WUNDA CHAIR PILATES CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

    We are all going to feel like Super Humans after this month!!

    Whenever I’m in a hard exercise (for me) where I’m holding myself up with my arms and reaching my legs away I picture myself with super human strength!!! I can do ANYTHING! It makes me smile and helps me stay STRONG.

    This month our exercise is Up Stretch and when you think about it - reaching your legs away and staying strong over the carriage may feel a lot like flying!

    We’ll be focusing on stabilizing our strong cores while staying equally balanced in our arms and legs. We are giving you some amazing building blocks by merging strength and stretch in all directions. You are going to get a little bit of everything that you can use to connect to your Up Stretch (and even your Roll Up and Knee Stretches Off).

    Chair: Please have a foam roller and a balance pad available. We are going to challenge your balance safely.
