The last moderate class we had was on 2/14. Since then everything has either been deliberate, or non-workout videos. I think this topic came up a few months ago. That there are a group of us who are not in the business. Who are here to work out and not interested in pedagogy and super methodical videos made for instructors.

Things were balanced for a while, and now I feel that it's reverted back again to being majority deliberate classes and non-workout videos.

Please bring back the balance. Thank you.
Pele ~ Thank you for your forum post. We always appreciate your feedback. We will be having more moderate and accelerated classes coming up, I hope you enjoy them. Here is a moderate paced class that was published last week if you want to check it out. We will do our best to keep the balance of paces and levels.

Gia, I've seen that one. But still things are overtaken by deliberate classes, heritage videos, and pedagogy stuff. And has been that way for a while it seems. That was my point. Missing the earlier days of PA.
Pele ~ We have a Mat class with Melissa Connolly coming out tomorrow that I hope you like and a few more faster paced/advanced classes coming too. I think many of the instructors are going deeper in the work so it's making the classes more deliberate, but we will definitely try to keep a better balance from now on.

Thank you.
Pele, can you help us by being more specific? Get right to it....what do you want to see and do when you come to PA? If you can be as clear as possible, state what you really like, want etc, I'm sure we can give that to you. I concur with Gia, many instructors are going deeper into the work which does slow things down, more detail and precision is sometimes given, but that doesn't mean we can't also provide fluid movement workout classes too. We love to teach, we love to give the detail of what we're doing and why. Perhaps that slows down the experience for those at home. I'd be very happy and interested to hear exactly what kinds of classes you are looking for now and what you want. Thanks Pele.....we really value your feedback!

Amy, I'm looking for more regularly scheduled moderate and accelerated classes that are fluid, solid workouts with dynamic rhythm. Melissa and Meredith's classes for example. Not deliberate with talk that benefits mostly those wanting to teach. Or super methodical. As much as the whys are important, if it cuts the flow( talking long enough for me to send a text message), then I lose interest. I get that there's a population that likes to know each and every "why". Not me. I'm here to exercise.

In 2010, there seemed to be more regularly scheduled accelerated and moderate classes dispersed evenly with the deliberate stuff. Videos that I could easily call "a workout".

What I'm looking for: maybe during the course of a week, you could post both deliberate, moderate and accelerated. To ensure an even distribution. It just seems like it's been swaying towards the deliberate end of things more.

Pele
Gia, Yes! The Melissa class came at the right time. I was going to leave temporarily, but glad I stuck around.
