I just returned from Florida I back to Utila Island Honduras on Sunday. I have done strength training 3x this week and one yoga class as well! But your class today was absolutely perfect to help me arrive back home and in my body both! Thank you Beth! And happy belated birthday!

I am recovering from knee replacement surgery, and this workout was gentle and felt very good. Thank you.

Really enjoyed that class. I took some time off over the holidays and that was the perfect routine to get me back into my daily routine. Thanks Beth.

[@trifectapilates]

Wonderful! And welcome back to the mat.

[@j_k_l_719]

Great class. I though it will be to easy for me since it is level 1 so I added weights (sand) on my legs and it was great. Thank you 😊

[@ldoornbos7241]

Absolute challenging...Is it osteoporosis safe to roll? I followed a session of you specially to learn what safe is for your body and what you should not to...Here you warned about rolling. I don't know if all rolling exercises should be left out?

[@trifectapilates]

Yes, it is recommended to leave out all rolling and loaded flexion exercises when someone has osteoporosis.

[@HokieKittens]

Great class! I've started playing pickleball and everyone warns me about injuries. I keep thinkng people need to do pilates to prevent that. Most just exercise in one direction and forget about the other muscles. Am I correct? Are there any specific exercises you recommend to protect from knee and hip injuries?

[@trifectapilates]

I've been meaning to get on the court to play with my husband! As far as preventing injuries, doing a warmup before playing and in addition to the work down on the mat, standing exercises and balance work is really great. There is also the Pilates bounces that can be done, that exercise is within the Evolution Series on the day that focuses on lower body.

[@HokieKittens]

@@trifectapilates thank you. I'll definitely try those out as well!

[@katcarter208]

This is beginner??😂 felt very fast, and lacked breath cues for most movements. 😅

[@trifectapilates]

You're correct that I don't consider this a beginner level class, it's a level one class.
