Mindfulness is a technique which allows you to bring your attention to the present moment, to what is going on both inside and outside the body, without allowing yourself to become stressed or overwhelmed by thoughts or emotions. It allows us to learn how to deal with any thoughts which appear and reconnect with our body, through breath and gentle movement.

In this short session, Pauline takes us through a mindfulness routine which also combines some of the fundamental Pilates exercises.
