Beginners Gentle Pilates Flow Mat Workout - 20 minute

[@tpain1805]

I started today, ill try doing Pilates more often. What I wanted to say is, this video is actually beginner-friendly, usually they make 20-min videos that make you question your existence.

[@loveyluv12]

😂 so true

[@steffnic13]

😂 great comment

[@veids]

LOL couldn't agree more

[@ninino86]

Same

[@medusagorgon9227]

I know this video is from two-years ago, but I wanted to tell you thank you. I have a few autoimmune diseases that affect my bones, joints and tendons. Today is a hurting day, but I didn't want to skip doing Pilates as I'm just newly beginning. I've done a few of your beginner classes aside from this. Your descriptive teaching is amazing, and your calm voice is soothing making your classes relaxing yet a nice workout. This video/class felt great on my joints, and I can't thank you enough.

[@dal4568]

So weird, came to comment this exact thing, my autoimmune condition gives me chronic inflammation and some days are more painful than others and I was looking for a gentle video, the person that made this is so great

[@medusagorgon9227]

@@dal4568 Exactly!!! Glad you found her too, it's not always an easy journey with our autoimmune diseases. 💗🙏

[@judithadisla4568]

Thank you for posting this message. I have an autoimmune disease, too, and I miss working out. I have been trying to find the right workout because of the fatigue and joint pain I've been having. Stay strong and be blessed!

[@medusagorgon9227]

@@judithadisla4568 I hope you find this as great, and helpful as I have. Stay strong too!!💗

[@DaydreamingofMimi]

Have you heard of coeliac disease? It's an autoimmune disease and I often get symptoms of inflammation. Now I'm wondering if it's to do with that 🤔

[@kaemccorkle]

The gentleness was actually true to form for me! Sometimes I encounter “gentle” or “beginner” workouts that feel inaccessible to me. This was such a great help!

[@caroline7420]

this was a fantastic video. I've done a bunch of pilates workouts but this was the first one where the instructor actually gave instructions on form and breathwork.

[@CorriaPaul]

Great instructions! I have trouble with a pelvic tilt and this helped me scoop in my core and improve my posture! Thanks!

[@brightsun1039]

It's incredible for my spine. I love it ❤

[@Twozerofived]

Omg this flow instantly lifted my mood! Very gentle yet effective. Thank you!

[@ChanMT]

TRUE beginners gentile class ❤. I need a gentle routine because my period is more painful than usual but I need to do my routine. This helped a lot. Thank you ❤

[@FlowWithMira]

It's so important to listen to our body during period pain ! I'm glad the gentle routine helped provide some relief. Moving mindfully can make such a difference in managing discomfort while still staying active. I'd love to share a longer session designed for period pain that many people have found helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmmTmpygrqx4i8k This 50-minute practice includes gentle movements and breathing techniques that can help ease cramping and tension. The focus is on working with your body, not against it.

[@ximenamuyfeliz]

This is the first actually gentle pilates routine I've ever tried, thank you, really ❤

[@FlowWithMira]

You're very welcome. Thank you for your kind words 😊💖

[@savannahplatz1015]

Returning to working out post surgery and wanted something gentle. This was perfect! Loved the focus on small and simple movements, but really using all those stabilizer muscles. My abs are exhausted in the best way!

[@shereeceali5880]

My first time completing a beginner video. this is truly beginner friendly!

[@disappearingink1354]

This was lovely, thank you. Getting back into exercise after a back injury and this was just the right pace and difficulty. :)

[@MeganLauriana]

I hate working out, so I'm trying to fall in love with it. This was a great video for that. Thanks!

[@Thatgeminiwitch]

I’m a beginner and I absolutely loved this

[@biguniversemusic]

Lovely thank you again!

[@FlowWithMira]

You are so welcome!

[@Tiger_Lightning_Music]

Absolutely loved it. Gentle movement that the body craves, mobility and activation of the weaker groups!!

[@blancabibriesca4939]

62 years old and determined to age gracefully. I am very new to pilates. I love the flow and your calming voice. I will be starting daily sessions. Thank you.

[@lyndan438]

Your instructions were THE most helpful. No one has said to keep the shoulders pressed into the floor when doing a bridge and it made all the difference in the world. Thank you ❤

[@mariasiemierzewicz387]

As a person who's just started exercising after a really long break (like 2 years or so) I appreciated this video very much. These exercises were so enjoyable actually. Thank you!

[@BastianBooks]

Dear Miss Mira, thank you for these beginner friendly classes. The help me so much:I do daily morning stretches and workouts at home and you are one of the rare good teachers on KZbin. Sometimes the are people only looking for attention, other times they do their best but they are not mindful and I have hurted myself too many times to trust them. With you we can go slowly, be careful with movements, avoid injuries and really developing our muscle tone and flexibility safely! That is super important!

[@lifedebtwithlanette4468]

I wish you a lovely day too, Mira! I love working out with you❤

[@Nancy-xf2ty]

Thank you! That was a great gentle workout!

[@karaguckes644]

First pilates set I've ever done and I loved it. I am following you and look forward to more. Thank you 😊

[@riceball1232]

Mira, you're the only Pilates instructor on KZbin that I can follow from start to finish as an absolute beginner. Thank you!!

[@jungleflowerenergy]

I'm doing my best to honour my cycle, and according to Alisa Vitti's book, In the Flo, on Day 5, mat pilates are recommended. I wanted to go to the gym today but my lower back was not quite ready so I honoured my flow, and chose this gentle flow mat pilates video instead. I'm so glad I did. Thank you, this was perfect for what I needed.

[@denisemacfarlane2344]

Thank you for a true beginners class! So many beginner workouts are too difficult for me and offer no alternative poses for those of us that can't manage the more dynamic poses. It can be very disheartening to feel unable to complete a beginner workout.

[@trace_element]

I wish I could “like” this video anew every time I use it! ❤

[@guadisch3136]

Dear Mira.. last year I did many of your workouts. Up to intermediate. After a year of surgery and setback I’ve just started to work out again. You’re the perfect teacher for that because you teach foundation and safety during practice. On that note.. do you offer teacher training?!

[@FlowWithMira]

Welcome back to working out, and thanks for joining me! I'm really glad you're enjoy my focus on the details. It's so important, especially when coming back after surgery.

[@hf5086]

Thank you so much for this session! I’ve been feeling lazy to workout, but this was just the right beginner session I needed. This was challenging but also soothing for my back after a long day at work. ❤

[@Anne-rf4nf]

Thank you. I feel so much better every time I do this flow.

[@veids]

Real gentle and beginner pilates. Thank you. Had a great time with this excercise.

[@carolinewilson4437]

PERFECT for this beginner! THANK YOU!

[@Yagirlreacts]

Thanks for this class. I have some health issues I’m dealing with and after having my son two years ago I’m finally ready to begin exercising. This was a great into and you now have a new subscriber!

[@AnimalTV-fl7xe]

Just what I needed. You have a new subscriber. Can I also thank you for not addressing your audience as "you guys" or claim to be "super excited" about anything.

[@AGabriellbliss]

Hi, your profile image is a lot of fun! As a non-native English speaker could you tell me what does it mean "you guys" for you...I have heard it from girls on KZbin before, does not sound very professional but I wanted to ask kindly. I wonder how to address to a person who I am practicing with . Thank you :)

[@mariedeverdiere7806]

Hi ! I think what the original commentor meant by "you guys" or "super excited" is that the tone of voice used along with it strongly emphasizes friendliness and excitement when as you pointed out, it's not too professional and it may sound inauthentic as viewers/KZbinrs don't know each other personnaly (as far as one knows). I think it's more of a USA cultural trend.

[@tzivigoodman9668]

Thank you, Mira, just what I was looking for. You are so kind, gentle and knowledgeable. I am looking to get in shape after illness and this is so encouraging. 🙏

[@Shivoham981]

This is a wonderful video! I will be doing many more of your workouts. Thank you so much.

[@ninino86]

Im right now testing out several pilates for beginners videos to see which ones work for me and I just wanted to say I like yours. Calm and explaining things so you understand and dont get frustrated. And bonus, I actually worked up a little warmth through my body.

[@jenniepakula3378]

Lovely gentle workout, perfect for the day after a big workout.

incredible workout after spine surgery ❤ Thank you 😊

[@brecatanese4329]

Was recently diagnosed with a condition that makes it difficult for me to get up and down a lot due to fainting. I’ve wanted to get into Pilates but find some of the movements difficult due to this. This was so helpful in teaching not just the basics but accommodating my abilities. Thank you! Will definitely be looking at more of your content

[@judynelson4119]

Lovely set, gentle voice - thank you. My first Pilates.

[@stellam827]

It was my first time encountering your channel on KZbin, and this was exactly what I needed. Love your pacing, cues and the minimal chit-chat. Recovering from a knee and lower back issue, this practice helped me to awaken my muscles safely and I feel so good after. Thank you so much, Mira. You have that rare talent of being a true guide and Teacher to the Student. Much appreciated. 😊

[@scamp0408]

I dislocated my elbow a few weeks ago and this was my first workout recovering. It was a great way to familiarize my body with gentle movement again.

[@Sophia-kq7mw]

Amazing! Thank you! I have had tendinites in my arms for decades and nothing cured it, but I still want to keep moving and gaining strength. Although it's hard to find a class that doesn't really on supporting my body in my arms as much, yours was perfect. So thank you so much!

[@GCBH0402]

Thank you so much, I am recovering from shoulder surgery (from competitive CrossFit) and really just need to be soft, kind and gentle to my body

[@gabyszabo9615]

This was nice and gentle. Lots of good stretch. I really appreciate the cue to lift and activate the side of the body that’s on the floor when lying on the side: I don’t think I’ve ever received that cue before. Thank u for sharing!

Awesome! I feel more calm. 🙏

[@kakiope]

Thank you so much, Mira. I stopped moving meaningfully and intentionally after I graduated from college. I've been feeling a lot of discomfort in my range of motion and overall mobility. This was actually beginner friendly and activated some muscles I forgot existed. I got a good sweat out of it, but I didn't feel terribly overwhelmed. I think it was a bit easier for me after I watched each segment fully before performing each exercise. Doing a movement for the first time while watching just ended up being distracting from good posture setting. Thank you for setting an amazing pace and for keeping the video focused.

[@daitchis1]

Great beginner Pilates video! Being new to Pilates, this was perfect for me!

[@SchollinWagner]

Hi Fire Lord, welcome to the world of Pilates. The move you are trying to perfect is called a shoulder bridge. I currently don't have a video explaining this, but my friend Amit does.
