    I love how you explain all exercises not just movement but also what they are for and what muscles are working. Thank you!
  • @maia166
    I have to say, this is the best online Pilates video I’ve watched. I do Pilates regularly at a studio but just got a home reformer. This was a wonderful video! Thank you!!
  • Excellent video. I would say that I think most folks who are thinking about starting reformer pilates would benefit from some hands on instruction. Especially for those who may have certain body limitations. I had lumbar fusion surgery about 1.5 years ago. I was working with a PT who happens to has a background in Pilates and their office has a pilates instructor. I'd kind of been looking for some kind of guided training regimen and my PT thought Pilates would be good for me. The Pilates instructor knows my back history and has really guided me. Demonstrates new exercises, corrects my body position, etc. It's been a truly transformative experience for this old man. But I think I could of hurt myself if I just started trying to use a reformer on my own. I'm 70 and doing many of the exercises demonstrated in this video.
  • Best instructor ever! I learned so much! I got a Pilates machine for Christmas and didn't know all these exercises. Pure awesomeness. Pilates is perfect for us who can only do low impact exercises.
  • @alexisreyes4179
    Wow 😯 I love how helpful you are guiding her through these exercises. She’s literally doing so well
  • Excellent instructor ! Looking forward to buying a Reformer to start at home
  • @lizzier2134
    This is an excellent video of a beginners workout. Most beginners wouldn’t stand on a reformer right away but everything else is spot on. I’ll be sending this to people who keep asking me what machine based Pilates is all about.
  • @malmogrinify
    I do agree that this is the greatest, detailed and well explained pilates ever. Thanks a million.
  • @user-to3kr3fw6w
    I watch many pilates videos and I have to say that Align Pilates Video is informative and easy to understand. If you have a reformer, it is a good instructional video to follow if trying new exercises.
  • @a.aguilar3116
    The cues, the sequence and the instructor make this the best Pilates Reformer class online 👏 🤩💐💪🏾
  • @EVEY71

  • @IndraBartona
    This is an amazing workout. I'm a newbie and have enjoyed following along to all the exercises. Would love it if you did a second workout that followed on after this one! Pretty please?
  • @muriela6180
    I use this video every morning! Thank you very much!
  • You are too good.. my English is poor so can’t able to right so many things. I just want to say your teaching is amazing I am a big fan off you.
