Mat Workout - The legendary Jennifer Kries joins PA for the first time with a Mat class that encourages us to celebrate our bodies while bringing us back to the origins of the method (with just a hint of yoga included as well). Explore the concepts of opposition and "effortless effort" as Jennifer offers effective exercise variations while skillfully guiding you deeper into your experience of Pilates. You are sure to enjoy Jennifer's commanding yet compassionate way of teaching. We look forward to her return one day. Thanks Jennifer! (Filmed October 25, 2011)

Angel, Yoly, Kirsty, Joanne and Jennifer, thank you so much for your wonderful comments! So glad that you enjoyed the class! Thank you also for citing the different components that inspired you. I always love to receive feedback like yours, and will confide to all of you that one of my favorite things about teaching is how it simultaneously gives you the gift of being a forever student. It brings to mind Joseph Joubert's quote, "To teach is to learn twice." Thank you all once again for your support and enthusiasm, and I look forward to sharing more with you, here at Pilates Anytime!

Being a retired dancer...I have always LOVED Jennifer's work. Pilates has been a huge lifesaver for me after retiring from a wonderful dance career! Thank you for bring back the origins of his true work...! LOVED IT!

And paying homage to the origins of Joe's phenomenal method is something I can't help but do- we always need to return to our roots, our foundations to be able to reference where we are today and give thanks for WHY we are where we are! Thank you for appreciating this- now more than ever as we experience such rapid advancements in our technologies and capabilities, I feel we need to show respect to our predecessors! Amen. :)
