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.

Please continue the reminders. It is so necessary and makes it easier to practice without constantly coming out of position to look at the screen.

I know this is a beginner class but the constant stream of instruction during every repetition of a movement is overwhelming. I just can't listen that fast.

Yes, I felt that way too when I started with pilates. Those in the yoga world usually consider there to be too much instruction in a pilates class, but I now think it's an essential part. There are so many subtle movements that it's difficult not to provide reminders to make sure that the student is paying attention to the important details throughout the class, which ends up requiring more talking.

Mary, I agree that at first the instruction is a lot to take in - I was SO overwhelmed when I started. However, as a student of Kathi's and I wholeheartedly encourage you stick with it. You WILL get it and it's so worth it. Her classes are some of the most effective I've ever taken. Worked miracles on my tired and weary back.
