4 new energising classes for flexibility and strength, plus a bonus 10-minute meditation
Spring has fully sprung which means our days finally feel longer which means more time to get out in nature, for that glass of wine in the garden or to plan more movement into our lives!
Our new-look Workout Planner with ‘tap to play’ buttons is free to LHP members for May ‘23.
May is the month of International Pilates Day on Saturday 6th May. It’s a day when the worldwide Pilates community celebrates the work of movement pioneer, Joseph Pilates!
#internationalpilatesday
To celebrate International Pilates Day at LHP, I’m delighted to share with you our NEW look workout planner (pictured) which this month we’re giving away for FREE to you!
It's had a makeover and is now designed week-by-week, as an interactive file. You can save it to your device, and access your class with one click*, making it even easier to move your body whenever you can!
(*you'll need to log in to your Pilates At Home member account of course!)
The planner is designed to tailor your Pilates workout to give you a balance of workouts that all have a different focus, use different props, or work different muscle groups. It assumes 3 classes per week, which is around 90 minutes of Pilates, but feel free to tailor it to the days in your week that work best for you and if you can only fit in 2 classes that’s fine too; let it work for you!
Sunday meditations are there to help you reset for the week ahead and aid in a restful sleep. I hope you love it.
