All the hours, training, practice and studies finally paid off!! I’m officially a Certified Reformer Pilates Instructor 🤍💫

Thank you to all the other wonderful women who did the course alongside me as we supported each other through all the new challenges and massive thank you to @pilatesireland for the in-depth course and experience! 🫶

Very grateful to my partner, family and my furry friend for supporting me throughout this whole journey and giving me the space and opportunity to focus on my training and work. And grateful to all the people around me who shared their advice, supported me, pushed me, and helped me along the way.

This certificate is definitely not the end of the journey.
Still training. Still learning. Still practicing. And definitely not stopping anytime soon because being a good Pilates teacher means being a student for life! 🧘‍♀️💫 by @itskikipilates

Your body and mind are connected more than we think 🤍

You don’t always need an intense workout; sometimes a little movement is enough to shift how you feel💫

Save this for the days you need a reminder to move💌

Short Box Leg Series, with a little extra resistance! 🔥

This one brings the burn from start to finish 🔥 Using the resistance band on the Reformer, we’re working through:

• Elevated heel squats (building lower-body strength + stability)
• Band pulses, squat pulses & holds (glutes + endurance)
• Staggered planks (challenging core control, shoulder stability + balance)
• Plank holds & leg lifts (finishing with strength, control + deep core connection)

Things I’ve learnt from teaching Reformer Pilates for the first time last week 💛

Now having taught over ten reformer classes in the last week I’m realising that so much of it is learning by doing and experiencing.

It’s not just about knowing the exercises, it’s learning how to read a room, communicate clearly, adapt when needed and, most importantly, make your clients feel comfortable and confident.

Definitely still learning, but I’m really enjoying the process ❣️ by @itskikipilates

🔥STEAL MY LONG BOX CORE SERIES🔥

This one is a serious core burner! Using the ball under the mid/upper back gives you that extra instability and core activation while the feet stay connected to the foot bar.

Layered Sequence: (x2 speed)
→ Press through Parallel balls of foot
→ Single-leg tabletop
→ Single-leg extension
→ Elbow-to-knee twist
→ Twist Pulses
Other Leg 💫

Expect to feel this through your deep core, lower abs and obliques, while maintaining control and coordination through the legs and arms ✨

Remember to keep the movement slow and controlled, stay connected through your centre and don’t let the ribs flare as you extend the leg.

(x2 speed)

Grab your Magic Ring and ease into your next Pilates session with this feel-good supine sequence 🤍

In this sequence:

• Single-leg footwork

Perfect as a warm-up before your next class or anytime your body needs a little movement and space. ✨

sneakpeak into my morning routine teaching @studio22dublin on Wednesday & Thursday mornings 💖

Honestly I wouldn’t consider myself a morning person but since teaching mornings classes it’s given me a whole new routine and love for that peace the mornings can bring 💫💛

Forever grateful for the beautiful sunrises Dun Laoghaire has to offer 🌅🧡

Reformer lower body lateral flow ✨

Working with heels elevated against the carriage to increase quad engagement and range of motion. Before flowing into a strong lateral lunge series working on endurance and alignment.

Soft Pilates ball to bring some heat to inner thigh and upper body coordination/mobility.

Base spring or challenge
(Medium to bring effort to glute and abductors but not too heavy that endurance fatigues too soon/ compromise form) 🙂‍↔️

(x2 speed)
