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 a million times over for this class! It (and the five principles class) is the best introduction to Pilates I've encountered. I loved the level of instruction, and it really helped me stay focused and enabled me to keep the proper form! Kathi is really amazing instructor, and I can not wait to see more pilates classes from her. The next stretch at the end of this class was the cherry on top that I didn't know I needed. I struggle with clenching my jaw, and this stretch felt so wonderful it brought happy tears to my eyes. Will be doing this class again!
