Hi Layla
Thanks for such a great class, I've worked up a sweat for sure :) This is my first class with a ball and I was glad to see where I need to develop strength and focus with the moves....I also think I may need a little more air in my ball as it seemed to sink quite a bit so not sure if the wobbling was from lack of air or still building on core strength. Again thanks and I'll be back to do this one again.

another great class from Layla!

Great class, thank you!

Hi Layla, I love doing pilates on the ball because I feel like I have better control of my core and I love the stretches. Thanks so much for this class. It was very challenging.

Oldie but definitely a goodie! Great workout! Thank you!

This was my first ball class! It was great and had me in stitches when I fell off! How do you keep the balance - can your ball be too inflated?

Hi Jane- Glad you gave this a go! Yes, your ball can be over or under-inflated. Balls come in a few sizes as well. When sitting on the top of the ball, feet flat on the floor, an ideal size/inflation combo is if your hip joint and knee joint are both at roughly 90 degrees. I think the ball is great. My guiding premise is that the lighter the contact with the ball, the more successful I will be... and that means ALOT of core (and my definition includes shoulders and hips) engagement for most exercises, which will relieve some of the load and force away from the ball. To remind me of this, I sometimes play with balancing in a pose with the core relaxed and only the points of contact doing the balancing. Then I engage the core until I feel everyone is sharing the load of the work. Hope you continue to thrive here :)

That was fantastic thank you 🙏
