Pilates: Beginner Level 1

Kathi teaches a beginner level pilates mat class to take you forward from the Pilates Fundamentals: The Five Principles. If you are looking to understand how to engage your core properly, strengthen your back and connect your core strength to your shoulders, arms and legs, this class is perfect for that. It may also provide significant relief for lower back discomfort and pain, as well as help with other back and shoulder-related issues. If you feel you're ready to progress to the next step in Kathi's Pilates series you can have a look at Pilates: Beginner Level 1, Class 2.

Thank you for the class
How did you know you I closed my eyes when I was on my right side? haha! Thank you for this class!
I've never felt successful in Pilates class, no more! I learned that I have unexpectedly developed some core strength already, and that mat longways supporting underneath the spine made that roll up exercise assessable to me. Thank you!
Hi Kathy, thanks for such a wonderful intro class. One question about the leg circles while lying on our side: ideally are the legs straight or are they out a bit in front of the torso. I wasn't sure what we were shooting for and kept wobbling back and forth. ;) Thanks again!
