Lovely to see you back again. I really enjoyed the class. I've noticed that you consistently include certain exercises and others you include once in a while e.g. roll over, swan dive, shoulder bridge, swimming and some of the others that come closer to the end of the traditional matwork repertoire. Is there a reason for this?
Very good question! With Romana's Pilates (classical) we teach by a system, beginner, intermediate and advanced. Granted this is a very quick overview, the exercises are consistent and deliberate. At each level you will see some of the same exercises as you did in the beginner class, but as you advance new exercises are introduced taking the level up. When I teach, I am looking at the class that is in front of me. So, depending on who is in class that day, I lean toward what I believe that particular group needs. Hope that helps! Thanks you for your question and for participating!
Okay! This workout is incredible! I just finished it for the second time. Very thorough! A good Ab workout with great back stretching. Love it! Love Ramona! hope to see more level 1/2 classes from her. Great reminders about basic Pilates movements.
I love all of Adrienne's classes; she's my favorite instructor! Nothing quite shapes my bodies like the classical moves. I have all the props but the classical mat classes change and shape my body the quickest!
