Charlene loves loves loves Sweaty Betty Pilates clothing!!! Beautiful colourful prints and soft silky high quality! Well worth the investment!!
We love Green People's products - free from harmful chemicals such as parabens and sodium laureth sulphate. Our children use the handcream, and we love the creamy night time moisturiser. Their natural (aluminium free) deoderant is also great for pre-teens. Whilst practising Pilates, most people need a head cushion when lying on their back, to keep the neck aligned with the rest of the spine. These cushions are similar to the ones we use in class.

We love Cytoplan's unique Nutritional Supplements because they are in Food State™ and Wholefood form. This means that the nutrients are presented in the same form as those in food, thus easily recognisable and absorbed by the body.
A selection of healthy foods such as coconut products, quinoa, buckwheat, superfoods and a huge variety of nut butters such as Cashew nut butter (yum!)
Overballs are great for encouraging spinal mobility in the upper back, or for use in stability work. They come flat packed with a straw, so you can choose how inflated you want it to be, depending on your body and the objective for use.

Foam Rollers, great for myofascial release and core stability work.

The Pilates Circle. Great for extra challenge. We love using these for upper body work - deceptively difficult!

These latex resistance bands come in 3 different strengths, depending on your body, which muscle group you're working, and how you're working it. These are 1.5m long which should be long enough for most exercises.

If you're investing in a mat, it's nice to have a luxurious one - at least 15mm thick.

The lumbar (lower) spine has a natural inward curve. This curve needs to be supported when sitting down. This type of cushion is a great support in the car or in certain desk chairs.
