A slow silent burn 🔥 in this reformer reverse lunge series

Working with the long box to and weighted ball (this helps clients understand the ^lift^ of their heel) setting up with some steady calf work, and priming a strong baseline of balance and stability before adding layers of movement to challenge and slowly fatigue through lower body 😮‍💨

Base spring 🩵 or challenge 💛
(to advance further try on no spring too ouuuuuuch)

The science behind the gut–skin axis.

Did you know your gut and skin are connected through a complex, two-way communication network known as the gut–skin axis?

Emerging research continues to explore how the gut microbiome influences skin health, particularly through its relationship with immune function and inflammatory responses.

A diverse, balanced gut microbiome plays an important role in regulating inflammation and maintaining immune function, both of which contribute to healthy skin function and barrier resilience. It’s this connection that informs our approach to skin health beyond topical skincare.

Meridien incorporates our InnerGlow Elixir into her daily wellness routine as a considered way to complement her skincare from within, because supporting skin health means looking beyond the skin’s surface 🤍 by @meridienmoves

Perfect series for when you need a filler ✨

Working on medium springs to challenge core stability, balance and control 😮‍💨 while working just enough tension to focus on core engagement and still ignite shoulders, upper body and hip flexors support just as much.

Base spring 🩵 or challenge 💛

Catch me between Pilates, puppies and paradise 🏝️

Starting the morning with Pilates in matching sets (@leelo.active of course), followed by workshops and learning by the pool, with the villa’s cutest little four legged residents keeping us company 🐕

Squeezed in a stair session at the gym because apparently the Bali heat wasn’t challenging enough on its own (Bali heat & stairmaster is NO joke, but I love it)

A little downtime before heading out for the most beautiful sunset and dinner at the dreamiest Italian restaurant. Finished the day with the most delicious fish dish and even better company✨

Safe to say, retreat life is treating me very well 🫶🏼

Spend a day with me on a Pilates retreat 🌺

Today was super chill day (I actually sat an exam this day too, but we don’t talk about that).
- kicking off early with a gym session at bamboo @trainwmads testing out some new equipment ⚡️
- before returning to the villa for Pilates class & workshop, let me tell you I was shaking during this session
- then had the most dreamy breakfast, spent some time recovering (and taking photo of course) by the pool
*shout out to the daily fruit platters, these always hit
- then visited trove to get a wash & blow wave, Bali heat/water leaves your hair sooo dry and crusty, so felt amazinggg after this treatment
*also best matcha in Bali from across the road
- evening ended with sunset drinks at single fin, and out for dinner after 🪇

Upper body - pull and hinged edition 🦋

Probably some of my most favourite moves in this one. With easily transitioned grips to keep movement basic but also interesting switching things up ⚡️

Working lats, bicep, tricep and more supporting postural focus muscles

Base spring 🩵 or challenge 🩵💛

Standing lunges but them them 🔥

A flowy lunge series incorporating the squishy ball to bring alignment, stability and layers through each shape. Working into quads, glutes and stabilisers 💛

- letting the ball move naturally with movement rather than overthinking it to maintain alignment x

Oooh side laying glute ❤️‍🔥 how I love this flow

Inspired by one of my favourite mat flows, bringing side laying glute onto the reformer with a little bit of upper body coordination served on the side 🥢

Working through external rotation, to challenge glute/abductors and building into longer more lengthened shapes. Working from forearm here so ⚡️posture matters⚡️

Base spring 🩵 or challenge 🩵💛

Single arm, with intentional layers to slowly increase in intensity 🔥

Sometimes the movements themselves don’t need to be significantly different. Starting with movement prep to build initial engagement, awareness and movement pattern. Before creating larger more complex or challenging shapes ⚡️

Using the side bend with layered press and pulse, building a strong movement foundation. Then moving into longer leaver shapes to continue to challenge shoulder/obliques.

Base spring 💛 or challenge 🩵

what’s on the menu, lately 🧋🍚🥢

currently in my homemade poke bowl era (if that wasn’t obvious) lots of lean proteins from prawns, tuna, fresh ingredients and just mixing and matching the same staples into different meals because easy and yummy will always win

and of course frozen mango. if you know me personally, you know a bag genuinely lasts me a matter of days… if that 🥭
nothing overly complicated, just meals I actually look forward to eating while working towards my goals with. Even when life starts looking a little chaotic @trainwmads

Save for easy go-to on your next meal prep x
