Thank you so much for watching!

Oh that’s great! I love the Classical sequence 💙

Me too! It is challenging but restorative all at the same time! Thanks for moving with me :)

Hi there! Think of it as one long inhale for 5 seconds and one long exhale for 5 seconds instead of 5 quick inhales and 5 quick exhales. Your timing could be completely different as well. For example, if you can only breathe in for 3 seconds right now, that's fine! Practicing will help you improve the length of your breath. It's like learning how to breathe underwater! Try that out and let me know if it helps you!

My pleasure! I think the name Quiet Bodies was inspired by the feeling of quiet one needs to focus on what's happening with your body during Pilates, and then with that, I think it can serve as a way to take a break from our worries and stresses in our day to day life. I always hope folks finish their workouts feeling better mentally and physically. But, for folks who regularly practice with us at QB, it can start to take on your own meaning. For example, some feel Pilates makes their bodies feel more at ease and "quieter." Thanks for asking such a lovely question!

ah i just noticed 33 exercises at the end when you said and not 34 lol

You’re correct, it’s not in there. I usually leave it out because I don’t feel comfortable asking people to roll forward onto their necks unless I’m there to supervise. So technically, this is 33 of Joes exercises. Just a personal preference. Thanks for your comment!

Hi there, thank you for you suggestion but this is such an old workout and I was just starting out. I never thought 80000 people would watch this terrible quality video in a million years! I have tons of other high quality videos on my channel some with professionally mixed music and some without music like this one czcams.com/video/X396Ix_OGIU/video.htmlsi=-drv5Rye0Q58a_Wq I also have a On-Demand platform with over 250 workouts which features an entire category of workouts with optional music. quietbodiespilates.vhx.tv/browse Hope you’re able to find something you can understand better and thanks for your comment.

I am so glad it was helpful! Take care.

Hi Ryan, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. Appreciate it!

😂lol 5 years later and she just gets bored when it’s time for me to do Pilates.

You’re right, it was intended.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your comment. I think it's good to practice all the variations that align with your current fitness level (while challenging yourself, of course!) Every Mat Pilates exercise in the Classial sequence prepares you for the next, and over time, you will improve. Not to mention, this way, you'll also get a balanced workout. If you feel it's too much, here's how I suggest breaking up the sequence: You can remove all of the Roll Overs (legs over the head variations) and do the exercises stopping after the Side Kicks. Then add in the Teaser and Swimming. Then, start to add in the Planks and Push Ups, and finally, add in the inversions as the final step. I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you need more clarity!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for watching. Happy New Year, and all the best for 2024!

You're so welcome!

Nope not at all! I usually start people off with the simplest exercises (such as 100, Roll Up etc.) then start to add in Level 2 exercises (Teaser, Push Up) and then finally add in Level 3 (Roll Overs and Side Leg Kicks) But, everyone is different and all I suggest is to make sure you try to move your spine in all directions every workout!

Hi there! I always recommend to practice Pilates 2-3 times per week but it could be practiced up to 6 times per week if it feels good for your body.

Hi Kim, I'm so sorry. I can't believe I neglected to reply to this lovely comment. And I agree, Joe's original work builds in intensity, and we don't need to try to tackle them all on day one!

I’ve been looking for someone who kept it classical like this for so long! I got hooked on Mari Windsor back in the day and always come back to this and it’s nice to have a video again besides a book. Thank you!!!!! I’m going to use your video regularly for many more years to come!

@@MeenaMonjazeb-kn8dq such a lovely comment, thank you for taking the time to write and choosing to move using this video as a guide.

I hope in a good way?!

If you prefer moving without music, I uploaded this workout (linked below) with no audio track today. You'll need a squish ball, but if you don't have one, the workout is fine without it! czcams.com/video/X396Ix_OGIU/video.html I also have tons of workouts (250+) on my website www.quietbodiespilates.vhx.tv/browse and a lot of my older stuff doesn't have music layered into it. Thanks and hope you get to try the new workout!

Oops, here's the correct link quietbodiespilates.vhx.tv/browse

@@quiet_bodies cool thanks so much! I love the classical approach to Pilates 😊

Hi there! If bringing the legs overhead isn't the problem, try this exercise (The Control Balance) with the arms straight forward and let your body get used to the scissor switch. As you get better you can try with the arms reaching backwards and then finally working up to holding the ankles. Watch this free tutorial below for a better visual (Scrub to 2:42) Hope this helps and thanks for moving with me! czcams.com/video/wHtn2ZqC5Cw/video.html

Hi there! I'm so sorry I thought I had replied to this. If you can't do Roll Overs I suggest doing a Shoulder Bridge or some extra Roll Ups while you wait for the next exercise to start. That way you're still getting similar benefits and aren't laying their waiting. I hope that helps!
