I learn so much from every class that you do. Thank you Monica. For those of us doing Pilates at home alone - without an instructor - your classes are invaluable. ( I did start Pilates with a full year of 3 classes per week at a local pilates studio, so I have a good foundation. But now, I am doing it at home without an instructor, so your classes are great.) Thank you !!!!!

Monica ! This class is exactly what I needed :) I am in Chicago , what is the name and spelling of the woman that you mention in the Chicago area !!

Thank you for sharing , Deborah :)

I love it when instructors actually teach rather than just go through repertoire .... excellent session .. thank you

Susan, Deborah and Rebecca, I'm so glad you enjoyed this class! Janice Dulak is the Romana's Pilates instructor I mentioned in this class. She is based out of Champaign, IL. In Evanston there is also Juanita Lopez and Rhonda Celenza who are absolutely amazing as well. They are all exceptional Romana's Pilates Instructors. Enjoy! Monica:)

Thank you Monica, for this incredible class! Incredibly eye-opening and also a little frustrating for me.. I am a certified Teacher for Mat and the comprehensive training but I haven´t found out that I am using my hamstrings way to little and my hip flexors almost constantly.. And I had a hard time to tell my hip flexors to not grip while I had my back-of-the-leg muscles really working! That is a challenge and it will take time! Leg Circles or Leg Lowers are way to advanced to me, because I have to teach my body (and my brain!!) slowly to do this differently! One question: Do you differentiate between the psoas and the more superficial hip flexors like the rectus femoris or the tfl or sartorius? Because I don´t think my Iliopsoas is tight!

where can you purchase the mat or stands used in these videos?

Robin ~ We use the Tower Mats from Balanced Body. I hope this helps!

Thank you Monica! I loved the cadillac exercises at the end! I was able to do them on my reformer/tower w/mat insert and they felt SO good.

So glad to hear it! Monica:)
