This challenge has introduced me to pilates for the first time and I am already feeling a difference with my core strengthening. I have enjoyed these classes a lot. One tip, however, I wish instructors would remain silent as they adjust themselves. I have seen other instructors adjust themselves, remove sand, etc. without mentioning it and I find this is very effective for me to stay present in my body (and not have to be disrupted with the instructors comments about what they are adjusting in their body). Thanks!

I am very happy as I managed to finish this class too! I have changed one thing - during the oblique work, I crossed my hands behind my head because it was hard on my neck to put my hands at the back of my ears during the exercise... That is because my necks gets tight very easily. And I enjoyed having my legs up! Thank you :)

I like to think that I have a strong core....but then I do a pilates class! :-)

Challenging but do-able. I didn't watch the previous videos (which I will probably watch now that I've done this class) but despite that unfamiliarity with the moves, Kathy's cues made this accessible. Will return to this one .

I really am not familiar with pilates. I've been doing yoga forever. But, your instructions were excellent! The flow felt natural, but challenging. I'll be back to this practice many times. Thank you
