An advanced Reformer Pilates movement that challenges strength, control and mobility.

The Swan Dive focuses on spinal extension, opening and lengthening through the chest while strengthening the posterior chain.

l've learnt from practising this movement that It's not about how high you lift-it's about moving with balance, maintaining control, and moving with intention.

It's one of those movements that looks effortless... until you try it

People think Pilates is just stretching… until they see this. 🦂

This genuinely took me about 20 attempts, many flops and challenges but i'm so proud i managed to do it !
I have a very long way to go to perfect and master this ... any tips please let me know 🙌✨🫶

What’s the hardest reformer exercise you’ve ever tried?

i just can't resist a split stretch😌

Coming up to nearly 2 years since my knee operation (december2024) and i am itching to get back to dancing if you can't tell with all the advanced pilates i've been practising!

the best thing about years of dance training is realising it never really leaves you. The range of movement & body awareness — just expressed a little differently now 💅🏼🩰🤣

NO we will not be doing this in class so don't worry everyone :) xxxxx

Ex dancers - pilates instructors if you want to try this stretch i used 1x blue (medium spring)

Goal is Core stability & Shoulder mobilisation🤩

SAVE this for a fun challenge to add into your class plan!

of course it wouldn't be like me to not include some extra spicy moments too!! Those straight arm pulses and thigh stretches are JUICY❤️‍🔥

💙We used a blue (medium) spring for this sequence and added on an extra red (heavy) spring for the thigh stretches

SAVE for class plan inspo & tag me as always when you try it 😇

SAVE this juicy full body class plan🥤❤️‍🔥

We used the ring throughout the entire class to support alignment and posture - the feedback i received from everyone saying how helpful the ring was ... was amazing!!

Lots of layers and unilateral movement

I absolutely adored teaching you all this class, it was such a fun flow - especially the shoulder series & corkscrew variation!! 🎩🌶️🥵

where it all began - Contrology

💡I am definitely still a huge lover of a spicy sculpt class, adding props and even weights to advance and challenge movement - BUT it's so important to practise the roots of pilates and remind yourself why you chose pilates...

Breath, Control, Balance , Coordination, Precision, Strength and Mindfulness🤍

🗓️If you love Classical Pilates or would like to try it, i have a dedicated monthly special class at @studio.etta where we practise the classical repertoire on the 1st Wednesday of each month!
- next one is 7th October 2026

Layer a Teaser with me - SAVE for class Inspo🖤

A Teaser is a challenging move ... but i strongly believe if clients are set up with all the tools and movement practise they need, a teaser is definitely reachable !!

☁️What's the goal of a Teaser?
• To build strength and control through your core while challenging your balance and coordination.

• Working towards stronger abdominals, hip flexors, improved posture and spinal control, better balance, and greater body awareness.

• Also teaches you to coordinate your breath through challenging movement and how it can help support you!
