Dear katja, I have just returned from a very intense pool workout and I find this splendid class of stretching. Katja is always present at the right time, with the appropriate lessons for all people. GREAT TEACHER!!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THANK YOU SO MUCH . Cecilia
This relieved the stiffness in my upper back and neck when I woke up this morning and created a lot of space in the neck area. Thank you Katja for these short but effective stretches =)
Dear Katya, today I started with your Good Morning Pilates Routine followed by the Neck and Shoulder Care routine. WOW! My whole body feels alive. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your practices which have kept me calm and focused during what has been a strict 16 week lockdown in Melbourne, Australia xo
Thank you for todays pilates session. It is my first and you were recommended by another Pilates teacher. I will try and pick a few of these to do each week.
I have had a stressful week, and also (not surprisingly) a lot of neck and upper back pain. Chiro said my c3 and c2 were twisted in opposite directions and fixed it, but the muscles have still been unhappy. This video (especially the section with the ball) brought me GREAT relief!! Thank you so much!!
Your videos are brilliant and your techniques are very soothing and calming. I like that you keep reminding us to inhale and exhale. Thank you for the great work Katja 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this and your channel, you have helped me so much, Iam a hairdresser and my body posture, aches, pains are much better! Not to mention my back and core ! Thank you!🙏
I spent just about 24 hours on 2 flights, a layover, then a drive to my destination yesterday. My neck and shoulders were tight as a drum and this routine provided much needed restoration.. Thank you, Katja! You are a miracle worker.
Dear Katja, loved this video, felt that it was really doing me good and enjoyed the music too, I felt that it enhanced the whole experience and helped me to loose myself in the movements. Many thanks
Dear Katya, I broke vertebrae in my neck 10 years ago and although many years ago now, I still have to keep up the neck exercises otherwise it can be very painful. Therefore you can say I have done a few neck and shoulder sessions in the last 10 years (!) but this is definitely one of my favourites that I know I will keep coming back to. I find it so hard to find new and different neck exercises but you have a good range, simple (so i can understand.....)) yet obviously knowledgeable explanations and you have such a lovely voice and manner. Thank you 🌱
You are amazing and generous. I enjoy your exercises every day and feel how the body is strengthened, shaped and flexible. Thank you so much for uploading great videos, your modesty is inspiring. Your faithful student from Israel
Absolutely love her sessions. Brilliant. I've been following Katja for a while now as I have neck and shoulder problems. Would highly recommend her upper back and lower back routines.
Thanks Katja! i've been doing both of your day 1 to 7 rountines for a couple of months now, and its' made a real difference to my shoulder and hip pain, and helped to reduce my headaches. More than physio has been able to accomplish in 10 year! Thank you!
This really helped my neck, this last year my neck has really got stiff and painful, I used to be able to turn my head easily with no pain, now Im getting a stiff pain, this routine has helped, thank you Katja🙏🏼🤗
Dear Katja, you have been part of my daily routine for the last 6 months of lock down here in Australia and have kept me sane and mobile while working from home. This routine with the ball takes me back to my previous 18 months of rehab doing reformer pilates, just moving my neck from side to side after bilateral adhesive capsulitis. It is so nice to do this as part of a gentle stretch routine instead! I love your beautiful classes, thank you!
I didn't even know my neck was tense this morning but it feels so much better now, thanks Katja! Beautifully filmed as ever too, well done camera person (I think I saw your reflection a couple of times :) ). Not sure about the music: found it a bit distracting but it's possibly the kind of thing that will grow on me after multiple viewings.
This stress is very helpful for my stiff neck, thank you! May I ask you to turn your volume up a little bit so it"s less tension trying to listen to your instruction during the workout? My volume is already at max. Thanks
This session along with your NO MORE HUNCHED SHOULDERS session has saved me from reaching for the pain killers so many times. THANK YOU! What a gem you are!
Absolutely delighted to hear that, Wendy! That is exactly why I love Pilates so much! Its like 'brushing your teeth', something we ought to do every day a little bit of to take care of our bodies (and minds) 😊😉
So different for me! Yet what a difference I am feeling! I didn’t even know I needed this release. Thank you for giving me something I didn’t know I needed💞
I keep returning to this one, it's great after a long day of desk work when there's hardly any energy left. And just now did I realise there's some lovely music in the background. So thank you again and again. P.S.: The garden view behind you is just about perfect, it's so soothing.
Another wonderful video! I feel like I'm in my own personal class in every video. Katja, my new aim is to gradually work through all the videos on your channel! So grateful for your work. Thank you! 🙏
Hi Katja , love this practice with you. Can I request for a upper back strengthening Pilates sequence ? It should be helpful to relieve those back pain most of us are suffering from due to WFH. Thank you for considering !
I am so sorry I havent relied sooner! I hope you have found this sequence on my channel for upper back and posture: czcams.com/video/zIhmzt3aKfU/video.html, czcams.com/video/EIQjxQx8ZiY/video.html and czcams.com/video/gcZyOrY3xGo/video.html 🙏🏼😊🙏🏼
This evening after doing your full body weights workout, I decided to follow it up with this relaxation routine! And my sore shoulders,neck and self are thanking you for this God-sent video💗Thank you dearly 🌈
I LOVE this! I found your channel just the other day and it has helped me so much with my lower back pain. It has been considerably better since starting your workouts. This particular one leaves me feeling as if I got a massage. Thank you!
@@PilatesYogawithKatja One year on! I still do this routine regularly, woke this morning with a really stiff neck, this routine always helps. Thank you so much. LOVE the relaxing music, it helps me to focus and relax. Kindest regards.
Dear Katja, thank you again for your wonderful classes. I really enjoy them and always feel so much better afterwards. Your explanation is perfect! I also enjoyed your class ‘no more hunched shoulders’ that helped enormously, but I cannot find it anymore. Can you please release it once more on your channel? Thank you so much! Kind regards from you Holland fan Martinette 🥰
Thank you for being here with me on CZcams, Martinette! Here is the link to czcams.com/video/zIhmzt3aKfU/video.html - when you go on my channel you can go to Playlists at the top, you can find the class under 'specialty / themed classes' :)
I really like this one! I'm a writer so, this helps a lot after a long day of sitting at the computer. (Though generally, I do tend to prefer the videos without music. ;)
Glad to hear this is helping you, Sarah! I have another class coming soon 'antidote to prolonged sitting', watch out for it, it may help your body, too 🙏🏼😊
Hi katya. Thankyou for your videos. I am new to pilates and I've started with your lower back pain video as I was in a lot of pain and it has really helped, I've also been doing this one. Ive been doing them daily for 1 week with 1 day off. I am now wanting to do pilates full time as it really is helping me. Should I now start your beginner class or carry on with these until my lower back pain and neck pain has gone? It is a lot better than a week ago thanks to your videos x
Hi Jane, that is great to hear. Yes, you can try the beginners class. You can also do the day one class of the 7-day challenge. Let me know how you go... :) 🙏
@@PilatesYogawithKatja I was thinking about the 7 day course so I'll start that from Monday. Thanks again Katya as you really have helped my 30 year back problem more than my osteopath. I am now a pilates convert. Where can I get the ball you use on this video? I looked on eBay but not sure if they're the right one? X
This stretch was amazing, I’m feeling quite better ! Thank you :)
🙏😊🙏
I come back to this superb excercise again and again as it really helps my neck. Thank you Katja.
Ditto Celia! It makes my week when I see Katya has uploaded a new video, always amazing. My favourite online teacher by far 🤸🏻♂️💕🙏🏽

Thank you, Doug :) wanted to try out adding the music... not to distract but help with creating a relaxing vibe :)
It does not distract me at all, the music helps to relax
