Pilates Youtube channels
This section will be quite small because there are only a few instructors I love and trust! I look for instructors who are certified in Pilates and have many videos to choose from.
Izzy's videos are challenging! The workouts go by quick and I appreciate how she guides you through each movement. I'm doing the 25 Day January challenge and I am seeing results in combination with doing cardio beforehand. Great for toning and streng...
PILATES BY IZZY
Move with Nicole was my intro to doing pilates at home. She has so many videos to choose from and her workouts range from beginner to advanced, but I find that they are all kind of challenging 😅

2 Pound Bangles in Charcoal
A pilates ball adds an extra layer of support, but when it's being utilized in a class/video, you can expect to feel the burn!
ProBody Pilates 9 Inch Exercise Ball
I like these bands because the material doesn't slide around. They are also sturdy, which is great for pilates moves, unlike the thin rubbery bands!
