This 20 minute workout with Nathan focuses on releasing tension and enhancing movement around the neck and shoulder area.
It is perfect to refresh and rejuvenate this often over-worked area of the body at the end of a busy day, or is equally as good to do early on to set you up for the demands of the day ahead!

Nathan has been teaching Pilates for more than 15 years and has over 30 years’ experience in physical and mental conditioning. Much of his knowledge has been drawn from his time as an international athlete, representing Great Britain as a freestyle skier at world class level for many years. This involvement in high-level sport and performance training, as well as injury rehabilitation, sparked Nathan’s interest in Pilates – hence his decision to train with Body Control Pilates in 2000. Nathan is a member of the Body Control Pilates Education Management Team and is Programme Director for Level 4 Pilates. He writes and presents courses for Body Control Pilates, particularly with regard to the Level 4 Pilates qualification and to performance-based courses. Nathan co-wrote the best-selling ‘The Pilates Bible’ which was published in 2010.
