Imogen Redman Pilates

A Saturday full of our wonderful friends.
It really does take a village....and I am so very fortunate to have friends that make me smile, have my back, treat my kids like their own and who pick me up and help me out when I need it.
Olivia shared her night with her Harry Potter mad tribe, JR went fushing with Ed and Amelie and had a blast and then kept me company at bedtime (aka kicked me constantly) and I ate cake and drank tea with my gorgeous girlies.
... A day well spent!

I'm the lucky one...to have such wonderful students.
You guys give me JOY!
💖

I love this family plank off. Captured @theparkhealthclubtphc Summer Throwdown.
It's safe to say my two nailed this and were still holding strong long after @high.revs.ray and I gave up!

I am really passionate about the community that I'm building from my classes. So many of my current students have been with me from day one and it fills my 🧡 with happiness to share a good old giggle in class with them.
Some of my students have used class as a way to improve body confidence, reduce anxiety, tackle loneliness and to manage the symptoms of a dehabilitating chronic illness...all of these positives are so far removed from the aesthetic that often brings people t...o exercise and is what makes Pilates so powerful.
So I'm offering you guys the chance to nominate someone who you feel is deserving of a (FREE) mat in one of my classes. Maybe they are a carer for a loved one that never gives any time up for themselves. Someone that goes above and beyond and you want to give them some recognition. Maybe someone battling with their health who could use some support but financially cannot justify coming to a class.
The person you nominate does need to be able to get to @ymca_andover in East Anton.
You can nominate ONE person and you must give me some information to explain/justify your nomination.
I'm going to leave this open until the end of September and then I'll look to choose a winner in the first week of October.
Nominations by email to: imogen.redman@gmail.com
Please share this with friends (you don't have to attend my classes to offer up a nomination)

Getting out of your comfort zone.
Spinal articulation has been very tricky for me recently. I have a lot of pain and inflammation in my pelvis and low back so certainly avoid too much movement when things are bad but I was programming for a 1:1 client today and one of the exercises she said she enjoyed most in other classes was semi circle. This is huge in terms of articulation and control. It's normally done on the carriage with your 🍑 heading south into the spring well but ...I've switched it up here for more control and the extension that I can enjoy here in my low back is blissfull. Sometimes working outside of your comfort zone gives great results and teaches you great things.
Awesome class too this morning @ymca_andover with lots of new faces joining an already fab group so my Wednesday is going pretty well.
Hoping you are all enjoying your hump day too!

You know winter is on it's way when the Wattbike becomes a permanent fixture in the dining room. For the next 5 months I shall have to endure this sweaty lycra clad mad man cursing his way through #sufferfest workouts!
Whereas I'm partial to curling up on the sofa, under a blanket with a cuppa!

Weekly Wattbike Workout
Build your strength and stamina on the bike in these sessions @powercyclewattbike Andover.
I don't mean to blow his 🎺 but my guy is pretty much the best man for job if you are looking for someone to motivate, teach and inspire you with all things 🚲.
... His passion is infectious so you'll not be disappointed.
Get some friends together or go solo. Kit yourself out in head to toe lycra or stick on your reliable gym wear. Pick apart the data or just enjoy a serious sweat on. 💦
Wattbike training is personal to YOU.

I feel lucky that I get to teach this awesome lot in this awesome space. We were working on new visual cues for Pelvic floor engagement, Abs abs and yet more abs!
Great to see so many of you back and refreshed from long summer breaks...i dare say you may just feel this tomorrow (especially those who pulled the double and bounced with me first!)

My friend and fellow #stottpilates instructor @sayfitnesspt has teamed up with Dr Christie Lewis to offer a Pilates Retreat in the Chichester countryside.
I'd be on it like a car bonnet if my husband wasn't already away riding a bike up a mountain and then round in circles at the Olympic Velodrome as Yasmine is incredible and the combination of Pilates, great food and wellness is 👌
Please do spread the love and I can then live vicariously through you!

Sneak peaking at my Harry Potter Birthday cake project for Olivia who turns 8 tomorrow. I'm pleased with the cakes but dear God....the mess! I'd better get onto that before HRH @high.revs.ray gets back 🤦‍♀️
I even managed to utilise my lazy sooz!

I really needed that today @yogawithdani.
An afternoon spent exploring what my body CAN do rather that being fed up with what it can't.
Your teaching style is 👌. You make me feel relaxed enough in your hands to move freely and confident enough to try to push further out of my zone. What more could you want in an instructor.
... Added to that you are a damn awesome human with a huge heart and baking skills to boot 😋
