Think Pilates is easy? Think again!! This workout with Sonjé Mayo begins with a deceptively simple warm up aimed at proper pelvic alignment. If you just did that five minutes, you’d be set up for a great day, but continue along and you’re in for a body-changing session in a quick ½ hour. For lessons, workshop requests, teacher training, and Schroth work, visit Sonjé Mayo at http://Sonjémayo.com/ . Filmed at Pilatesology Studio.
I have decided that you are my favorite instructor after watching dozens of Pilatesology videos. Thank you for being so clear and in sync with Joseph's methods. I love that you insist on proper form with every exercise which is not something I see from every instructor.

Thank you Kathy! I appreciate your comment.
Being so 'picky' and consistent requires so much energy from the teacher.....sometimes I think we work harder than the students!

Hi there,
I am so sorry i missed this message.
For someone with limited shoulder range, they will need to lie flat with no elbow support.
The underneath arm can be stretched out with a small pillow in the neck for support or they can bend the bottom arm to provide head support if the shoulder allows that.
This is my first pilatesology class and I really enjoyed your teaching style Sonje . Thank you so much!

WOW! This was great! THIS is how you teach a mat class. I so appreciated all those corrections. Mat is tough and I loved it. Thank you so much!
