🔥 Hot Pilates is having a moment.

But what does the heat actually do to your body — and is hotter necessarily better?

The heat increases sweating, cardiovascular demand and perceived effort, which can change the physiological demands of your Pilates session.

Hot Pilates can be an enjoyable form of exercise for many people, but it isn’t suitable for everyone.

So, who is it for, who should be cautious, and what does the science say?

Let’s take a look 👉
Evidence-based Pilates education, without the hype.

A recent reformer Pilates flow I enjoyed teaching! 💫

I love how we can layer and progress, always prepping the body for the next stage and seeing the progression come to light 🫶

Some progressions here are subtle- but they expand on the time under tension, the time spent balancing, further balance challenges, and the time spent concentrating on the move.

Pilates isn’t a random collection of exercises 💫

There’s a system behind the sequence — each movement preparing you for the next, with progressive loading throughout.

Thoughtful, purposeful movement that builds as you go. 🤍

No trends or crazes needed. No further additions. Just the Pilates practice as it is meant to be 🤍

Because your evening routine is part of your health & fitness routine too 🤍

Warming up for the week ahead… ☀️

Your warm up should always prepare you for your class ahead, but it can also be used to slow you down, calm your mind, focus on your breath and just tune in to your workout ahead.

I love that moment between starting your class and getting into the main work. That minute to switch your attention fully to yourself and your body 🧘‍♀️

A little insight into my full Pilates at home kit! 🫶

While you don’t need any of this at all to practice Pilates, I like to change my workouts regularly and use the small equipment depending on my focus that day.

Freshly Centered Online features classes using the small equipment, but we also have so many classes without any kit too!

What’s your favourite piece to use? Let me know below!

Favourite brands for kit right now are .wellbeing

Your Pilates practice should never become just a series of exercises. And your spine should move in all directions in every session.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that it is all about the choreography. When actually it is about building movement patterns for strength, control, mobility and resilience in every plane of motion.

When your workout repeats the same patterns, you miss opportunities to move more efficiently and feel your best.

This is why Pilates was designed the way it was- a series of exercises that move the body in every direction for full movement efficiency. The practice has a purpose 💫

So next time instead of asking “was it hard enough?”
Ask yourself “did I move my body well?”

Pilates is a practice.

It isn’t about constantly searching for the hardest exercise, adding more springs or weights, or doing something completely different every time you train.

It’s about returning to the movement.

Again and again.

To slow down and practise the movement until it becomes more considered, more controlled and more connected.

Practice. Refine. Repeat.

That’s the real work. That’s a Pilates practice 🤍

Pilates isn’t about making every exercise harder. It’s about making it work better for you. 🤍

On the Reformer, small adaptations can make a big difference — changing the springs, adjusting the loops, changing your position, or simply finding a different way to move.

Your teacher is there to help you find your best movement, not just the hardest version of an exercise.

Because the goal isn’t to leave every class feeling exhausted.

It’s to leave feeling stronger, more connected, and good in your body ✨

That’s what Pilates is all about at Freshly Centered 🤍

Come join us all at where we work with you to leave you feeling accomplished and energised in every class.
