DAY 1 - Perfect Pilates Posture Program for Reformer and Mat
Mat Stretch & Restorative Release
•
14-Sep-2026
Day 1 of my Perfect Pilates Posture Program for mat and reformer. This session incorporates strength and stretching on both the reformer at mat, and requires a Pilates ball (alternatives include a foam roller or rolled-up towel), and optional hand weights. This workout is appropriate for all levels.
The rest of this program includes some of my favorite workouts from my catalog, curated to help you improve your posture, stand tall, and feel and look your best.
The full program can be found here: https://www.melanielopezpilates.com/perfect-pilates-posture-program
HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM: The videos in this program are categorized under the "Stretch & Release" or "Strengthen & Stabilize" collections. "Stretch & Release" workouts can be used to relieve muscle tightness that can commonly contribute to posture issue, and "Strengthen & Stabilize" workouts can be used to strengthen weak postural muscles for better support and create better upper body joint stability.
Choose a single video from either category to complete each day, or combine a Stretch and Strengthen video for a more comprehensive session. These videos may be combined with other full body workouts if desired.
