I started a new online class yesterday called Pilates with Small Props. Each week we focus on a different prop. Yesterday was the mini band, which is one of my favourites 🥰 It’s such a small, light piece of equipment, but it adds so much resistance and support to the exercises.

Here are some of the exercises we did in class. Next week we’ll be focusing on the small Pilates ball.

This class runs every Wednesday from 9:30–10:15am.

This time last year I was starting Pilates again after having Mila. I had zero core strength and wow, it was so humbling. I’ve always moved, always danced, and suddenly my body felt completely different.

It was these gentle, simple movements that I began doing daily that became the starting point. Slowly, they helped me rebuild strength and find my confidence and flow again. It really doesn’t take long to feel your body getting stronger.

Just 10 reps of each is enough, and it’s something you can keep coming back to. I used to do these with Mila next to me as well.

1. Pelvic rocks
2. Pelvic stability / hip opener
3. Heel slides
4. One legged tabletop leg extension
5. Supine spine twist
6. Bridge roll up and down
7. Cat cow
8. Bird dog

Thank you for making me a mama 🥹♥️
