The global COVID-19 pandemic has dominated our lives since the start of 2020. Two years on, there are over 1 million sufferers of Long COVID in the UK alone (Long COVID refers to cases where signs and symptoms persist for more than 12 weeks after infection).

Join Lorna as she helps us to understand more about Long COVID and looks at how we, as Pilates teachers, may be able to help sufferers of the syndrome.
