I recently found this video and although I don’t have arthritis, I use this mid morning when I take my 1st break from work (I work at a desk from home) and find it helpful ❤
It's wonderful to have a teacher who is not afraid to say she made a mistake. Very few small ones, though. I always feel much better after these sessions. I've had a lot of yoga and exercise teachers in my nearly 79 years. Rachel is so good at giving clear directions and explaining what each movement will do for you.
I just found you a few days ago. I'm 70 years old and have arthritis. This workout, and the one for hips, is amazing! I do it first thing in the morning and feel better all day. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your fabulous videos! I too just found you... 77 years young... I was recently injured in a car accident which aggravated past spinal fusions and a broken hand. This is exactly what I've been looking for a more gentle approach...surpasses results from prescribed PT sessions!!!!
Just loving the gentle workouts with you. I'm 66 years old and have always enjoyed exercising but was diagnosed with arthritis last year and found my old routines very painful. This session just eases the stiffness out of my whole body.
Although I don't have an arthritis diagnosis my joints creak, click and ache. Pilates has helped immensely and this session is a nice wake up session. Once again Rachel has come up trumps.
I've done this workout so many times when my body hasn't felt up to something more challenging, and it has really helped ease stiff and achy joints. I'm very grateful to you Rachel for this and so many of your other videos - thank you!
Thank you so much. This is just what I have been searching for. I have turned 70 and also have arthritis. This is gentle on areas that are tender but feel so good now I’ve done the workout .Blessings Gail🇦🇺
I love this, Rachel, and it will be a great way to get moving every the morning before I am ready to push my aging body to do anything more energetic. Thank you as always for all that you do for us.
Rachel, I have to thank you for sharing this workout with us! I have been so stiff lately and when I woke up to see you had created a gentle workout and warm-up for arthritis I was overjoyed! Blessings upon blessings on you and your household!
Dear Rachel,thank you so much for your exercises!.I am with you every morning. You are doing everything very gentle and I enjoy it very much.Arthritis became a bit better since summer! I wish you a very happy Christmas and all the best in the New Year!!! Maria from Bratislava
I have not found one of your workouts that I don't like. I even work on the roll ups though I have a rod in my spine that makes those difficult. This one was especially nice after a HIIT workout that I did.
Salut! I am back after 40 sessions of hip physiotherapy focusing on the left hip, the painful piriformis. Nice and gentle, I was able to perform this 20minutes standing routine with you. Thanks for the encouragement!
Hi. Found that session v relaxing and easing slight stiffness especially in the back and neck. Felt I had a top to bottom work out. Always feels good to breathe in rhythm with the movements. Thank you so much.
Thanks Rachel, sometimes the shorter one suit me better and I enjoyed this one today. I have passed it on to 3 friends who are also seniors who may benefit from me. Keep up the great work! 💜
Thank you. I will be doing more of these videos in February but until then do take a look at my Seniors Playlist where ther are lots of gentle yet finctional and feelgood sessions ❤️⭐️🤗
Just coming out of 1st RA flareup so grateful to have found the girl with a mat! 5x per week as my joints increase in ability to release . Does ease the chronic pain as I adjust to living with RA GRATEFUL AND HOPEFUL as I advance.
Well done Margaret. I am so glad you found me too and that you are able to ease tha pian with my sessions regularly. Well done. A little bit everyday is a great way to cope with RA- oh I have just realised that rhymes!! Hope it made you smile. Keep going Margaret and I am here right beside you. Take care and stay hopeful, you will find a way to feel at ease in your body. Best wishes, Rachel 😊
My husband and I do this most mornings before breakfast. It gets all our aches and pains moving. We have been doing it since it first came online. Highly recommended for those who find normal pilates a bit too much for arthritic joints. Looking for a similar GWTPM 20 mins routine for arthritic joints to ring the changes now.
This was so great to loosen up the joints. I actually did it before bed to help minimize the stiffness during the night. I have osteoarthritis. Thank you.
Lovely, stretchy gentle session after my favorite 15 minute band strength session, what a lovely combination from the August playlist!👍🏻💪🏻🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🧡💛💚💙
Thank you Rachel, I've had to give my usual Pilates a miss for a couple of weeks due to back and foot issues. This was gentle enough to get me back into a bit of exercise. Thank you. PS I'm 68
Amazing energetic way to start the day. I find that I struggle with exercises involving the shoulder (e.g. side plant) as my shoulder fatigues/starts paining on the 2nd or 3rd repetition. In the future if you are brainstorming, would you consider a video or series for strengthening the shoulder
I will indeed Anastasiya, thank you for the suggestion on a video series to strengthen the shoulders. 😊 You might like to try this one in the meantime I made last year for shoulder pain: ua-cam.com/video/kGorweo5Uwk/v-deo.html Take care, Rachel 😊
Thanks Rachel, this is great s I m a sufferer but do keep on the move. These exercises are just right and not too much.. long with some of your other workouts you can stretch everything carefully.Wonderful. Ann
My74 year old joints thank you for this wonderful, well-paced and gentle routines in this session.
Me too! 77 years young 🎉

Thanks again ! Love your new studio, with more open space it appears. I look forward to viewing you and your dog on the 23rd "Christmas" pilates.
