Pilates with Raylene
25/06/2026
After changing jobs every 2 years, why and how have I managed to stay in one career for 15 years?
There are so many reasons... But to keep it short & sweet:
π Pilates allows my creative side to thrive
π It's not black & white
π Seeing clients try is better than perfection
π We can JUST BE REAL
π I am always learning and sharing
π The feeling when a client has an aha moment
π The laughter!! (and my evil cackleπ€£)
π Adapting keeps me on my toes
π It's flipping effective and mind blowing
π Never dull
π We help people (game changer!)
π Humble... Every class I attend humbles me
π And I Love it
There are more reasons but if I can give any advice to someone thinking of starting a career in Pilates - do it with your heart, not your bank balance or with an image of perfection. If you show up daily with intention, knowledge, modesty and care, the rest will follow
Mwah π
Ps. Yes I used Chatgpt for the image... So if you spot missing parts on the reformer, well done. And no, that ain't me in the Pic... I am never that polished π€£π€£π€£ I'm a crazy redhead who can't count
πConnect from the inside outπ
Did you know your inner thighs (adductors) share fascial connections with your pelvic floor?
Placing a cushion or soft ball between your knees and applying a gentle squeeze can help send a message to the brain π§ , encouraging activation of the pelvic floor & deep abdominal muscles, particularly the transverse abdominal (your body's natural corset).
Add slow, mindful breathing and suddenly it's not just an exercise - it's a conversation between your brain & your body.
Not sure what "engage your pelvic floor" means? Think about β¨ gently stopping wee from flowing β¨ gently stop gas from passing π
