Join me for this full body Pilates workout. All exercise are performed in a seated position and are perfect for seniors and beginners. You will feel great after working on our muscles to improve posture, core strengthening, and stretching.
If you enjoy my chair yoga workouts, you will LOVE chair Pilates!
Please make sure you are seated in a sturdy chair that does not have side arms. A couch or lazy boy type chair will NOT provide enough support for this workout. A dinning chair or folding chair that has a back will work well.

Simply brilliant exercise routine! I just loved it! I have lower back issues and cannot do regular Pilates anymore, this was very refreshing! Needed this to strengthen and lengthen as well as stretching my tight muscles. Lauren you are amazing and a bright light to all of us who need someone who understands and teaches modified moves! My body feels better already! Thank you so much! You definitely are making a difference here! 💖🌸💖🌸

Just discovered this terrific chair version of Pilates. I used to teach Pilates and am now much older and creakier--but I discovered that can do your chair version (whew!). Now I have hope for getting some of those Pilates muscles and tone back. THANK YOU! You have such a thorough understanding of body mechanics and joint issues for seniors, and these safe routines for older people and beginners can reverse some of the physical impacts of aging. What a difference. I'm telling my friends about Senior Shape.

Mary Lee, that's SO great that you taught Pilates and now can do the chair version!! I worked in Physical Therapy and have less-good knees with all the concrete floor walking/standing/leaning etc. I've done but I've certainly enjoyed Lauren's Pilates even though I have to do chair version. I WISH we had known about some of these moves back in the 80's, 90's for our patients!! I still do some Massage Therapy and am turning my fiends to these videos to encourage them to stay in shape and/or stay loose and flexible. And YUP, I'm older and creakier now too. hahahahaha! But in some ways, in better condition as well. 🙂

Although, I walk with Leslie Lansome weekly I have searched for methods of muscle training. Today I found it with you. It felt so great stretching my muscles like in yonder times. I 'm thankful to have found you after surfing Utube your preview attracted my attention which is why I'm saluting you. It was not the least disappointing.

Just got finished with this work out. I’m 72 and have neck, back and hip pain. I was able to do everything without much issue. I have been searching for something I could do at home. This is perfect. It’s calming, energizing and doesn’t hurt. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you SSF for a wonderful workout from a woman that is out of shape and needs to lose weight after an accident in the winter 2024, that left me home w/o a vehicle for three months. I searched many pilates for seniors and thought I would give this one a try. I am so happy I did, and also subscribed to your page. I look forward to making the workouts a part of my daily routine in hopes with success in weight loss and feeling better overall.

Very surprised how well I did, Lauren. I always watch a video before I do the work and I’ll admit I was skeptical, but I decided to give it a go and took my time doing the movements about half speed. You’re right, I feel amazing. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and to the whole world!

Enjoy your workouts so much. Lots of variety and can be done at home consistently. I am 69 years old and have 3 joint replacements due to osteo-arthritis. The most recent was 8 wks ago. Your workouts helped before surgery and after, so that I completed PT in 5 wks. Keep them coming!!

I have fibromyalgia and started working out very slowly recently. Your channel is perfect for that. I just found you few days ago but I’m already a huge fan. Thank you so much, you are a part of my recovery journey. I also love the tranquility and peaceful ambiance of this channel. Very soothing, it calms down my nervous system.

Hi Lauren. Thank you so much for your amazing videos. My 84 year old mom and I are following you every day and working out with you. It is our first time ever doing yoga and Pilates. She lives 500 miles away from me so we FaceTime with each other while working out with you. This way we can encourage each other and enjoy your workout together. Thank you so much

This was my first Pilates session and I LOVED it! You are a wonderful instructor who guided me through each workout with ease. I could feel my muscles responding to your gentle prompts. I’m a recent heart transplant recipient and needed an exercise routine which includes stretching and gentle manipulation of my legs and upper body but not the stress to my back. I’m so happy to have stumbled onto your video - your Pilates with stretching are now a part of my recovery and wellness for which I am very grateful. Thank you so very much.
