Held, supported, steady from the inside out — that is how members describe this 15 minute beginner Pilates class for core strength. No equipment. Standing work first, then mat work.
Your deep core is the foundation underneath every movement you make — reaching overhead, standing, walking, bending to pick something up. In this class we slow down and tune into breath and centre. You'll feel how your breath powers your deep core, and how that core protects your spine.
This isn't about working harder. It's about awareness — noticing what's already there, and learning to use it.
Suitable for beginners. Move at your own pace and rest whenever you need to. You'll want a mat for the second half, and the class finishes with three short plank holds — lower your knees if that's where you are today.
This class is part of the Full Body Kickstart Series inside the Flow with Mira membership — a series that trains the body the way it was designed to work: as one connected system.
