Mat Workout - Protege to Kathy Grant, Cara Reeser joins Pilates Anytime for the first time with a Mat class full of fun, inspiring moments and a whole lot of work. Class begins with an explanation of a non anatomical inner map of the body that is useful from the first exercise. Cara shares her years of experience by detailing each exercise in a way that is sure to have you feeling successful when executing them. You will learn how to "stand on all your limbs (and there are six!)," to "not sink the raft" and how even the simplest exercises can be hard to sing to! Through Cara's teaching, we are all getting a glimpse of what it was like to learn from first generation teacher Kathy Grant. Thank you Cara!

Thank you Cara for sharing your love for movement, wit, charm, "tricks of the trade" and your lessons/influences from Kathy Grant. Your classes never fail to challenge our curiousity and effort. You should expect to sweat a little during Cara's class or it is possible you are falling off your raft!!

It´s a great and wonderful class!. ¿Quién dijo qué hacer Pilates era fácil?. Hasta lo más sencillo bien hecho es difícil y costoso. Estoy encantada de aprender todos los días. Muchas gracias a todos los profesores.

Cara, I regret that I was not able to do the rest of the workshop you gave at InsideOut Body therapies in Durham, NC several years ago! This was my chance to experience what an awesome teacher you are. Knowing that you were a fabulous dancer too who knows her 'stuff ' on the movement scale also is inspirational!

So now it is confirmed. I DO cheat on rolling like a ball. I've been playing with different arm as well as bent knee positions (sometimes tighter ball sometimes wider knees) for a few weeks looking for an intermediate position where I don't "buckle". Any other suggestions to remediate my problem and keep me honest?

Joni ~ We actually have a section on this site called Exercises where a lot of the Pilates positions are demonstrated. This one is for Rolling Like a Ball. I hope that helps!
