fantastic cueing! The kneeling prep for criss cross and swimming made the exercise after so much more precise...thanks!

This whole series is amazing, but this class especially.   I can hardly believe how much I learned, and how helpful for difficulties I've personally had linking shoulders to pelvis.  Thank you so much, Rachel

Thank you Rachel! I feel So invigorated, enlivened and balanced in body and mind  after this class. Loved every minute. Thank you for sharing your incredible wisdom and skill with us. Maggie x

Thank you my Pilates friends for your enthusiasm!! You’ve made my week!!!

thank you Rachel and Serena for this excellent class. ❤️

WOW I really needed this class. My shoulders blades and arms got very weak, sloppy and disconnected this past year. Thank you for your deep, detailed class. Very happy to have you teaching again on Pilates Anytime.

Thank you both! I know one of my shoulders is weaker from a past injury so this was great to really hone in on where is working and visualising / feeling different things. This was a great class for me to truly feel my scapula placement. I shall be returning back to this one as I found it quite tough :D x

I again took Rachel's class after a separate 20 minute warm-up class.  Then I gave myself permission to watch and listen to the first couple of reps that Shireena demonstrates.  That's a big chunk of time but worth it.  I found that if I tried to just do these classes on verbal cues that I couldn't absorb everything.  The "blades leading" theme to this class was a freeing change to lots of exercises we're familiar with but don't deploy this way.  Learned so much today about the leadership potential of the shoulder blade.

I nominate Shireena for demonstrator of the year, if there is such a thing.

I’ve been binge watching all of your videos Rachel! So many wonderful cues and concepts. Thanks for all of your amazing work…this video in particular :)
