Pilates teacher shares 7 exercises that will “instantly help you to feel better”

Moving our bodies doesn’t always require us to end up in a sweaty heap on the floor or hit a new PB. Sometimes, we just need to move mindfully to keep our bodies mobile, release any built-up tension we’ve experienced throughout the day and ease our minds. This seven-move flow from Pilates Instructor, Katy Bath, does just that, and you won’t need a single piece of equipment for it either.

It consists of a blend of dynamic stretches and static stretches targeting your upper and lower body to help boost mobility, enhance flexibility, and relieve stress. According to Peleton, stretching is not only a great way to get endorphins flowing, but it also activates our parasympathetic nervous system, supporting the body to reach a state of calm and relaxation.
