Hi Elizabeth thank you for working out with me! Usually when I design a class I set up some parameters first: level of fitness, level in pilates, tempo, possible injuries to keep in mind, but most importantly I set up a GOAL. Who is this mat for? Why am I using the magic circle? When do i want to use it? For example in this magic circle mat the main focus is midline and lower power house so I’m using the circle mostly inside the legs/ankles with the hope that it will transfer to my movements and future workouts even when the circle won’t be present. No matter the goal, when possible, I try to keep as much as I can of the flow going. It’s nice when we get to workout without interruptions 😉

My goals are ofter driven by your comments: The hip flexors mat and wunda chair, The balance, the upper body strength and the stiff mats (both mats and chairs) were all inspired by comments and requests from my previous workouts.

If you have any specific questions for any specific workout, please let me know.
