Welcome Amelia, glad you enjoyed the class. Do keep trying out others as well, there are so many wonderful classes on this website you may discover you have a new passion.

Pilates is a vast and complex subject and sometimes people land in the wrong sort of class for them and get turned off, which is a pity as there is so much benefits to Pilates, so I am glad you tried again, and enjoyed your experience.

this was my first class, and i really enjoyed it. tough but not too tough. just enough to get me started!

Wonderful Birttany - Pilates is a workout and is challenging, but I believe you found exactly the degree that works for you. Keep doing the classes - they build each class on the one before it, and you may just surprise yourself with what you achieve.

Do enjoy the journey.

I have done all 10 classes even though I'm not a beginner. They are excellent! Great reminders on technique and proper form. My favorite is #9 with the magic circle.

FANTASTIC! I started pilates years ago with a private teacher and became fairly experienced. However, after not doing pilates for awhile, I wanted to start back at the beginning. GLAD I did! Wonderful refresher class for those with experience and/or those that need to regain their strength. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Lastly, Niedra is a delight!

Hi ladies, so happy you enjoyed this series. I wanted to offer beginners a thorough way to get going and as you mention, even for experienced students it is good to go back to basics ( I do this myself on a regular basis ). Keep up your practice - it is all about continuity.

This series is working really really well for me. Thank you, Niedra for making it. I am through lesson #4 - I have been doing each of them twice, as that helps me get the concepts- I am new to Pilates. Your attitude is great, and I like to see the corrections and modifications you give to the students.

wonderful peggy, so happy to read this email, as yes, you are an example of what my vision was and why I wanted to do this series. It can be daunting to be a beginner and yet, all beginners start at teh beginning and if they apply appropriately to thier level, they move on to intermediate and more...

so keep applying yourself the way you are and I wish you much success with your training and progress.

I like her pace and tone of voice. As a complete newby to Pilates, I really enjoyed this class. Lets see how sore im going to wake up tomorrow. That's how I judge the effectiveness :)
I have a herniated disc so my lower back hurts a lot. Lets hope I can stick to Pilates and I can strengthen my core to a pain-free life.
