Rewriting Desk Posture Through Pilates with Kerrie-Anne Bradley
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sitting all day is quietly reshaping our bodies and our confidence, and this episode explains exactly how to change that.
In this conversation, Kerrie-Anne Bradley shares the story behind the Move at Your Desk Method and why she believes small, consistent movement breaks can transform not just your posture, but your mindset too.
Kerrie-Anne reveals how Pilates principles can be applied in the real world, even while sitting at your desk. She and Nic explore the link between stress and posture, why “shoulders back and down” might be doing more harm than good, and how taking up more physical space can shift your confidence at work.
Kerrie-Anne explains how movement improves energy, focus and productivity, and how her simple four-step system helps desk workers build sustainable movement habits without needing an hour-long workout.
If you sit at a desk for hours on end, work with clients who do, or are interested in working with corporates as a Pilates teacher, this episode is for you.
