I do them every morning and have noticed a HUGE improvement in my balance, my plantar fasciitis and my strength! Thank you! You have been a Godsend in this crazy time!

    Rachel you are amazing!!! Thank you so much for all your videos. I do your 10 min wake up every day before one
    Of your longer workouts. I love all the standing ones as I can look at you easier than laying down. I really think my
    Strength is improving and I hope to continue for a long time. I am a very young at heart 73 year old and as I have always exercised
    I find I can do most of your Pilates. l look forward to all your new workouts. Carol 🥰

    Rachel, your standing pilates workouts are my favorites!!! I start almost every morning with your 10-minute standing pilates filmed at Madeira, but now will alternate with this one... I love pilates but because of orthopedic surgical restrictions I can really only do standing workouts. The spinal stretches, core stability & balance work are just what I need. I appreciate workouts that build functional strength instead of focusing on aesthetic appearance only. Thank you so much for the videos like this one!

I am so grateful for all the work you put into this and the way you explain so clearly. I never really understood the clamshell move, felt something but not much. today (diff video) you said that one sentence about the hip placement ... I get it!! Thank you now and into infinity!!

    Hi Rachel thank you for making these videos. I just discovered your channel about 4 weeks ago. Love the 15 minute stretch, strength and balance. 15 minutes is about my attention span for video exercises haha. But I can feel the workout and my balance is improving. Again thank you from Canada.
