Jo-Lee Pilates

Festive greetings from Jo-Lee Pilates and her merry strong and jolly fit Thursday morning Pilates family 🎄🥳❤️

Today's pilates joys 🌈🤓🙌

Coincidentally, head to toe matching with my client in our Thursday morning class this week. Down to our very socks! 🐝💙🫶

Just finished an online Pilates class where we spent the last 5 minutes laying on a rolled up towel - a highly recommended thoracic spine stretch from my amazing physio.

I love inviting my clients to stay there in those restful moments and signing off zoom for us.

I'm feeling fabulously dozy now.

Exploring muscle tensions, feeling what's available to soften, ackowledging the wisdom/lesson/validity that the tension might hold 🙌✨

Thoroughly enjoyed our session this evening 🥰

"Painting with light" ☀️✨🙌



I'm learning how to improve the lighting quality of my online Pilates classes, especially against the bright sunlight that streams in during my mid morning class. Lighting is definitely something - until now - I've taken for granted. And yet its an entire industry and profession. I'm enjoying dipping my toe into the idea of painting with light - as a bloke on YouTube once said.

Wishing you a new year filled with deep tenderness and compassion toward yourself 💛💜✨

I'll be teaching Monday's Pilates classes from London this week after a weekend of friends, family, tango (lots of tango), contact improv, aaand my first ever a cacao ceremony 💜🍫🧘‍♀️💃

This block of classes we'll be focusing on locating and strengthening our serratus anterior - a magic muscle for happy shoulders.
