Calming Evening Pilates Flow To Unwind Your Body After A Busy Day
How slow restorative pilates melts away muscular tension built up during work hours
After a long, busy day of work, household tasks and digital screen time, your body stores large amounts of hidden muscular tension in your shoulders, hips and lower back, while your mind keeps racing through unfinished to do list items. High energy evening workouts can over stimulate your nervous system, making it difficult to relax later on. A slow, low intensity evening pilates flow offers the perfect middle ground: you get to move your tight muscles, without raising your adrenaline levels too high before bedtime.
Relaxing movement sequence that helps you mentally switch off from daily stressors
This restorative evening pilates sequence focuses mostly on gentle stretching, spinal mobility, hip opening poses and slow deep breathing. We avoid difficult core strengthening movements that could wake your body back up. Each stretch is held for longer than you would during daytime workouts, giving tense muscle fibres plenty of time to release. By the end of your session, both your body and your mind will feel much calmer. For best sleep results, complete this evening pilates flow around one half hour before you plan to head to bed.
