Spending eight hours at a desk is often the silent enemy of our Pilates progress. We feel the tightness in our hip flexors and the strain in our neck before we even step onto the mat. This 15-minute routine is designed to undo the ‘office posture’ and bring fluidity back to your body.
The Routine (Body)
Seated Cat-Cow (3 mins): Sit at the edge of your chair, hands on knees. Inhale to arch the back and look up; exhale to round the spine.
The Executive Stretch (4 mins): Cross your right ankle over your left knee (forming a ‘4’). Lean forward slightly to release the glutes and hips.
Chest Expansion (4 mins): Clasp your hands behind your back and pull downwards, opening the heart space and reversing the ‘slouch’.
Neck Release (4 mins): Gentle lateral tilts, breathing into the side of the neck.
Consistency is better than intensity. Do this every day at 3 PM, and watch how your next Movement session feels lighter.
