Recently, took a mat class at Darien Pilates. The modern studio was clean and had a calming vibe. I was offered a bottled water and a towel upon arrival. The class started on time and there were five participants, which allowed ample space for all. The other athletes were pleasant and friendly. The instructor was knowledgeable and approachable. She challenged me as she modeled different modifications for each exercise. The exercises were designed to stabilize and strengthen my core, while increasing flexibility. The hour-long, small group class moved along fluidly and the instructor was positive as she coached me through the motions to get the most out of each movement. I found myself staring out of the large, bright windows as I felt my flexibility increase with each small muscle movement. About midway through, the participants used light weights to complete a standing series of movements. I left the class feeling energized for the day and happy to have found such a great place to workout.
I look forward to taking a Pilates Reformer session in the near future.
